ElomiBijou Molded Plunge Underwire Bra (8722)

I’ve always wanted to avoid any lined or padded bra because I didn’t want to make my breasts look larger. Now that I’m in my mid 50s, have had 2 kids and have plus-size, not-firm-at-all breasts, I tried this hoping to get a decent looking shape. This bra exceeded my expectations. It gives me lift and support and a great shape. I was and am still shocked. They are great quality and very comfortable. If you are like me you might throw them in the washer which will definitely cause them to lose their support A LOT faster than hand washing. Ten + stars from me.

Once you reach a certain cup size, your choices for bras that aren't constructed of 978 pieces and nothing but seams that show through every blouse you own are rather limited. Torrid's bras have way too many hooks and all seem to fit as "push-ups", rather than true t-shirts. I have yet to find a Lane Bryant or Wacoal that has been designed by anyone who's met a busty woman. This one is pretty good.Elomi/Goddess are pretty much the only manufacturers who make bras that even come close to working on my body. I am about a 39H, so I wear a 40H (UK) in those brands on the middle or tightest hooks. The 40H in this brand seems very snug in the band. I can wear it on the last hooks only. The cup definitely gives the impression of a ship's prow that is pointing simultaneously east and west. I'm not sure why bra makers seem to think that large breasts are all perfectly spherical, when that is not how gravity works. Which is to say, there seems to be a bit of void on the upper corners of the cup. Nevertheless, the cup does not cave in, and I checked with a friend, and she didn't think my bosoms looked too cock-eyed at all, so I'll take it. No seams show through my snuggest knit, and the light padding keeps my torso from acting as a rudimentary thermometer. I would definitely recommend this bra to anyone with similar requirements. Just be prepared to size up if you are on your last row of hooks on your current bra.

I'm a size 42I US/42G UK (Elomi uses UK sizing). It's difficult to find bras in my size that fit, flatter, and don't itch, pinch, or poke anywhere, and Elomi is my go-to for all of the above.I usually wear Elomi Kim, but wanted something that won't show through my t-shirts, and this bra is it. Comfy, smooth, and doesn't leave my boobs hanging down to my navel. I also appreciate the center plunge, which makes it easier to wear with scoop-neck or v-neck tops than more full-coverage bras.I know some thoroughly-endowed women like me don't think they want a padded bra, which this is -- but the padding is what keeps your nips in check so you don't high-beam everyone you see.Fit tips:- This style fits a bit snugger at the top of the cup than other Elomi styles I've worn. I had to go up a cup size.- The band should be as snug as you can comfortably handle to start, because it is quite stretchy and will loosen up with repeated wearings.

If your bra size is halfway through the alphabet like mine padded/molded bras feel more like a straight jacket than a bra. Honestly, I didn't even try it one cause I hate lined bras. I didn't realize that's what molded meant. My bad. I will say if you have huge knockers try other Elomi styles like the Matilda or the Cate. My boobs haven't touched each other in years thanks to the lift and separation I get from Elomi bras! A true God send. Just not this particular style.

Band runs a little smaller than other Elomi styles. Cup size was fine.

i followed all the recommendations from other reviews to go up a band size and the bra is a perfect fit. so comfortable and supportive. Took me a long time to find a t-shirt bra in my size. I’m normally a 38I (US) or 38G (UK) I went to the 40 band size for this bra. This one is in UK sizing so be aware when choosing your cup size. I have never been measured correctly in any shop. They have always measured me to fit their largest bra size which was always too big in the band and too small in the cup so I measured myself with a fabric measuring tape and finally wear the correct size. So if you are finding bras that don’t fit, do yourself a favor and measure yourself. Google a bra size chart. That’s what I did and found the perfect bra.

After struggling for years with excess “side tissue” after the birth of my son & not willing to get a reduction, this was the first bra that fit well all around & comfortably held everything in (and up lol). Note the sizes are European which wasn’t an issue since I already had one & the tag shows the conversion. Price is less than what I have paid in high end shops-although for anyone who has well endowed “girls” price doesn’t matter for the hard to find larger sizes that actually FIT well. Happy to have found this on Amazon.

I've never owned a bra with a molded cup before, but I was desperate for a smooth, seamless bra to wear under a T-shirt that was showing all the lace and lines of my other bras. This was the only style I could find in my (very large) size that seemed it might fit the bill, so I decided to give it a shot. So glad I did! It's virtually invisible under clingy T's, the fit is excellent, and it's very comfortable. But what really surprised me is the great support! I always wear very good bras (have to)- but this one gives *exceptional* uplift and a really nice shape! I look like I've instantly lost 5 lbs. Have already ordered another one. Highly recommend. Hope this helps any of you other busty sisters out there :)

Perfect! Very supportive!

Bra arrived pretty quickly. I think it was about 4 business days which, when you live in a rural community that's pretty fast. I'm not loving the shape of the bra, it doesnt have much side support so I'm getting sort of a 'squished' look if you know what I mean. This is the size I have in all my other elomi bras and they fit perfect. Maybe I could try 1 cup size bigger but the centre panel is sitting flush against my chest so I think it might just be that's the cups are too far apart for my frame. In any case the next cup size up is $50 more than what I paid for this one so I think I'll just keep this one as it still fits okay and is very comfy. It is also very smooth under clothing and plunges very deep so I think it will work with a lot of different styles of tops. Overall I still recommend this as I think the wider set frame would probably be perfect for some body types. Also this is probably the only bra I have that the texture does not show through a cotton tshirt so that's a huge plus.

These are my favorite bras of all time. Unfortunately they were discontinued about 4 years ago so they are hard to find.

I have bought many of these bra's from Elomi in the exact same size and this sizing was completely off. It was too large in the cup and the straps were positioned differently.

I love this bra for the fact that it's nice and smooth and it's very supportive. I find the cup size is slightly large compared to other bras that I have in the same size. Very simple design that doesn't show through clothing.
