elomi Hermione Underwire Bandless Molded Bra el8120 Reviews

This is the first time I have ever worn an underwire bra. Although I do not like underwires, this one is nice. This bra provides great support and does not give my breast that cone look. It would be absolutely great if I can find more without the underwire that gives the same look and feel. Taisha from Cleveland, OH USA

I have purchased this bra before. It's not my favorite, but it's comfortable and works well enough. Sometimes I find the interior side lining gets a little itchy, but it will probably soften with washes, as I don't remember my last one feeling that way. I thought that the band stretched out faster than my other bras, however, (even with the same or similar rate of wear & washes) so it's not a bra I wear everyday for that reason. I want it to last not stretch too quickly!

Elomi Response: Yes, the fabrication does soften with washing …adding a bit of fabric softener to the rinse water helps as well. We generally use the same power-net in the band for most of our Elomi styles, so this band shouldn’t stretch out any quicker than your other Elomi bras. It’s possible that you actually need a smaller band size for the firm anchorage you’re looking for. EL8120 goes to a D9 cup and you would need a 34D10 if you were to go down in the band. If you’re willing to try a bra with seams, our Abi Bandless Bra EL8100 is one of our favorites –and Abi goes to a D11 cup! Abi provides all the benefits of a seamed bra: Super lift, and very importantly, shaping. The seams are flat and virtually invisible under clothing. RP from North Carolina

This is the second bra I ordered in this style. The first a size 36H, supports well, but seems like the underwire is stretched too much. Ordered 2nd bra in 38H to correct issue, now underwire digs in/pokes my underarm area. MOST IMPORTANTLY- The seam edge inside the 2nd bra was not sewn properly and resulted in raw skin from poking protrusions in the material. Mild itching was noticed at the time I fit the garment on, decided the fit was ok and washed it. Wore the bra 1 day and regretted it. Very close inspection revealed the described seam issue. Request for refund due to defective seam was denied because garment was washed?!? Still struggling to find correct fit/style. Kristen from Small Town, WI, USA

Finally! A supportive bra that those of us with larger chests can wear with t-shirts. Good breast separation, extremely breathable material, and the best part...LOOKS FABULOUS under all materials!!! Submitted from TheUndies.com

Those of us with larger "girls" would love to have a bra we can wear with t-shirts, too. And here it is!! My last one has just begun to wear out after almost a YEAR of frequent wear. Decent support, fabulous bra. Submitted from TheUndies.com

It is excellent quality...fits very well, pushes your breasts forward rather than "under your arms". I am a quadriplegic and have very little muscle tone left, so I need a bra that keeps what's left since the muscle has atrophied where it needs to be, so this bra does that. Anita from Marion, VA

It's got all the support and coverage I need, but has seams on the side instead of the front so I can wear it under anything. Submitted from TheUndies.com

I am very short-waisted, I wear petites in jackets and shirts and have long legs and am a 34G so I am hard to fit, many bras are just too much bra for me, I have tried one other Elomi bra-the Abi-which I liked , at first, but it made me look very wide-set and just too much fabric for my taste. Now, let me talk about this bra...I adore it, I usually prefer 3-part bras for the superior shaping they provide, and don't care for moulded or t-shirt bras because they always make my boobs look fake, but this bra is truly astonishing, it lifts, separates, is so lightweight and the shaping it gives me is really lovely, nicely rounded but natural. I am at the smallest size for Elomi so not sure how this will work for those with a much larger band size, but for me this is the absolutely best bra I have ever put on, the fabric is delicious, it's pretty and disappears under clothes. Buy it, I cannot recommend it highly enough. Elizabeth from United States

Band seems a tad smaller then the other 40's but the molded cup is fabulous! I am more than pleased with my purchase. italk4aliving from North Carolina, USA

I love this bra! I don't think I've ever had a bra that fits they way they're supposed to fit, with the center against the chest. They were always straight across, kind of like an exercise bra. Well, that has all changed now. It's hard to find a bra that lifts and separates and still looks pretty, and is seamless, but this is it. I only wish it came in actual black instead of charcoal. A nice rich red would be nice too, but black first. Susan from California

Beautiful bra in a lovely color. The spacer fabric did hide a little show through, but was unfortunately not supportive. Combined with fully elastic straps, I just felt like I was not wearing a bra - and not in a good way...Bummed that I have to send it back.

Elomi Response: Susan- Please consider elomi Smoothing Foam Underwire Bra EL1220 in 38 D-3. The cup construction is firmer, without adding size, offers an amazing uplift with sweetheart neckline. Elomi 1220 was also featured in Consumer Reports' Shop Smart magazine, in "The Perfect Bra for You," April 2012. Susan from Grangeville, Idaho

My biggest problem is that bras in my size always have embroidery and stitching that requires an additional level of coverage. This is the first bra in my size that lifts, separates, and secures all of me while simultaneously providing a flawless frontal and profile. I'm femininely round in the front rather than "pointy." The straps don't dig into my shoulders and the wire doesn't dig into my ribs. Additionally, the molding is minimal, it provides a contour (and added security) rather than making me seem bigger than what I am or creating what I typically refer to as the "four titty look". If you want security, comfort, and contour than go with this bra. Seriously. Looking to purchase several more in the upcoming weeks! Ersula from Tempe/AZ/United States

I wear a size 40HH bra. It's difficult to find a bra in my size that provides lift, separation, and support. This bra does all three for me. The sexy cups add to the feminine styling. I wear this bra with the matching panties to complete a sexy look. Stylish from Austin, TX

Very comfortable! However it is does not support as well as other (banded) elomi bras I have. Cup size was small. I usually wear 38G, but had to exchange for 38GG.

Elomi Response: Our elomi Smoothing Seamfree Underwire Bra EL3911 is another seamless option that is banded and offers medium coverage and great support with inner side sling. This style runs full so it's suggested that you go down in the band and cup. Order 36 D6. Gayle from Boerne, TX

This is a nice bra that is pretty, finding a bra that is pretty is hard in a HH cup. It is not a bra for everyday use in my opinion, it does offer support, not enough support for a turtle neck or a tshirt, but a blouse or scoop neck shirt it looks very nice. I would recommend this as an addition to other bra's you may have. Wendy from Apache Junction, Arizona

By far the most expensive bra I've bought, and was generally worth the money. I love the way the cups fit my breasts, but yet again, the underwire feels fine for the first 5 minutes then I'm uncomfortable until I take it off. In the world of underwire bras it's good. Love the fabric, straps are super comfortable, and the band is comfortable... Wish they made a wire free version that was as cute as this. Danie from Oregon, USA

My new favorite bra. Great for separating the breasts, comfortable, modest, and not a huge harness. Now if they just won't discontinue this style... Dee from Bay Area, CA

Buying a new bra is my most hated thing to do. That being said, I have tried on no fewer than 30 different bras and finally came across this one that fits like it was made for me. I love the comfort it offers along with the "no show" aspect of the molded cup. The best part is that the center doesn't come up so high. Once you figure out what size will work for you, I'm willing to bet you'll love it too. Sue from Maryland
