Women's Cate Underwire Banded Bra

I have worn this Elomi size and style for over ten years and needed to order new ones. However, I couldn't find these, either in local stores or online, including on Amazon.. I was resigned to wearing my old bras forever until I searched Amazon one more time and found these. They are perfect, just what I have been looking for, perfect fit, attractive, comfortable. I know they will be durable because I have had my older bras for at least 10 years. Coverage and support are excellent. The only difference I have noticed is that there are three rows of hooks in back, as opposed to four on my older bras. I purchased 36 J because these are offered in British sizes rather than American sizes, be sure to consult the size chart.

The pros of this bra is that they are a full cover without feeling like you're wearing your Grandma's bra. The straps have a cool adjustable feature with ribbed strap that makes it easier to adjust, while still staying in place. They are comfortable and separate my "girls" so you don't have that annoying sweaty "uniboob" going on. They boost your look and the way clothes fit for sure. I'm very happy. The only thing I'm unhappy about is that the material is thinner around the part that hooks around your back abd it sometimes cuts into the side of my ribs by the end of the day. So I have to pull it down and straighten it out. Maybe I need a bigger size around though. Otherwise, I'd say this bra is true to size and a good bra that is also very flattering.

I have noticed in the past 6 months that I'm literally overflowing my 38DD Maidenform, but I was broke so I went to Target. My local Target does not carry anything over a DD, so I just took another 38DD and just hoped that my old one had shrunk. But it didn't. The wire is sitting on my breast and they're sagging on my stomach and they're overflowing. I couldn't find any specialty shops near me so I came here. I research through Amazon and I measured myself according to the size chart. I was surprised to find myself as a 40G (US). So I tried a starter bra from another company. It fit but the unlined cups left me with less support than my 38DD. So I came to Elomi, measured myself again (still 40G), and ordered this. I got it in the mail and I tried it on, hoping that my recent (and apparently ongoing weightloss) would have no effect on my bust. But *dum dum dummmmm* the band was too big, even on the smallest hook and the cup was at least a size large. I can say for sure that the ill-fitting band was NOT Elomi's fault- it was due to my weight loss. So I measured myself again- 36G US. I am returning this and buying the Betty Plunge bra, because it seems a lot more interesting (and I like the plunge!). This time, I'm going to order a 36 band size. I'm contemplating on whether I should lower the US cup to an F or not. I haven't had experience with Elomi to know my proportion in this brand. I'll probably get a 36G, since the Betty is supposed to run small, not large like this one. NOTE ON SUPPORT: Even though this was much too big, I could see SOME support with this. That says something about this brand. It also seems *very* well made. I would 100% recommend this brand and this bra but GET PROFESSIONALLY FITTED FIRST!

A couple years ago I bought the underwire version of this bra somewhere on sale. It was/is a pretty good fit but I have never been a fan of underwires as they do a very good job of digging into your ribs by days end (or any time I bent over). I cannot BELIEVE the comfort and fit of this soft cup!!!! Seriously, it fits like it was tailor made for me and is so incredibly supportive that I can move in every direction and hardly feel it! It does not dig in anywhere (usually I have to remove boning on bras but not this one), stays on the shoulders, does not bind or roll under, cups are appropriately rounded, no spillover....and, it seems I can actually breathe better in it. I am simply amazed! Its is pricey but so completely worth the expense. If you get the size right, you will not ever regret purchasing this bra.

I wear a size 40HH, so all my life I've known the struggle of finding a good bra. This USE to be a good bra, my ho to once a year purchase. This bra is supportive and my boobs always look amazing! But no more! I will be on the look out for a new brand! Please offer recommendations. Last month I bought a new bra for Christmas, not even a month later the wire popped out! As can be seen the picture above. I know what you're thinking "maybe that one is just defective." I would think the same thing if I hadn't bought a bra this summer and come November the wire was already popped out! I am appalled by the decrease in quality! In the past my Elomi bras have lasted me YEARS! It is ridiculous that in 6 months I've had 2 of their bras bra on me! I know my boobs are super heavy, but DAMN! I will now be looking for another company that actually has quality better than Walmart. I mean come on! This thing is $60+ it should not be breaking in a month!

Could have been a 5 star but I ordered a 40h and was sent a 40k… I ended up trying it on and learning that I just might be a K… it’s literally the best fitting most comfortable bra I own without being completely ugly… it’s actually pretty cute and my man loves it… honestly I tried and on today and haven’t taken it off yet it’s been about 6hrs … it feels so good I haven’t even taken off the tags yet… so although I revived the wrong size this bra is a total keeper

A very comfortable bra for the big chested woman. I would recommend.

Had to return them as the cup size is not true to size

This bra is awesome. I bought 3 in different colours 40 HH

Mooie bh, dus ik had er meteen 2 besteld, maar ik heb helaas ook 2x een andere maat ontvangen als in de omschrijving staat. Ik kon ook niet kiezen voor een vervangend item en dit product is nu, 2 dagen later, ruim 11 euro duurder dan toen ik bestelde. Het enige wat mij deze bestelling heeft opgeleverd, is een ritje naar het postkantoor..

Sono contenta perché mi avete consigliato la misura giusta. Anche il prezzo ok.usI

Fit was a bit off. I bought this based on my size in 2 other elomi bras. Way too much cap in the cup.
