My Review of the Elomi Smoothing Bra, Style #EL1220 8/13/08:

Hi! Just wanted to let you (and anyone else who's interested) know that I received the above bra today. I purchased it from Bare Necessities on Sunday night. I got it this morning (Wednesday)! I thought that was pretty quick!

Clicking on this Elomi large cup seamless bra style #EL1220's picture below will take you to it at Bare Necessities.

Some background: I normally wear a 34J or 36HH (UK sizing). I purchased this bra in a 36H (which comes in UK sizing) hoping dearly that one cup size wouldn't make that much of a difference. Well, the band size works well. It is not tight at all and is not loose either. I have it in the last (or loosest) hook.

I will say that I DO spill out a bit at the top. Not much, but the HH cup would most likely have covered with no spillage. That said, the spillage is really minimal and when worn with the right shirt the spillage can't be detected. I am wearing a polo shirt that is somewhat fitted and is made of a smooth, t-shirt like cotton. I think if I were to wear this bra with a tighter fitting t-shirt with some lycra, you'd be able to notice the bulge.

I have had it on all day today and it is quite comfortable. I've been working at my desk or else doing various cleaning chores around the house. The bulge at the top is the same as it was this morning when I put it on and I haven't had to make any adjustments. The straps are not padded but seem to be made out of the same thin foam like material that the cups are made out of. They haven't slipped all day.

Bottom line: I'm keeping this one simply because it is the ONLY seam free bra I've been able to find! Thanks to your blog! Granted, I'd absolutely LOVE it in a 36HH, and I'd buy one in every color if that were the case. Maybe two!

Also, the shape and uplift of this bra is great! It gives the same sort of shape as the Dream Trisha bra, only costs less and comes in a bigger range of sizes. Another thing, I could not even get the Dream Trisha in a 36 band around me. I tried and when I heard the seams start to pull, I stopped! The 38 and 40 band sizes did not work on that bra either as now the cups made me appear too "rounded" at the sides when you'd look at me from the front. A bad description, I know. But the boobs just felt "loose."" Needless to say, I never purchased a Dream Trisha but I am happy with this Elomi bra.

Sorry about the length of this, but if you're curious about this bra, you might want to give it a try. And if you've got a store near you that carries this bra, I'd definitely give it a go!

My reply to this last paragraph:

I just have one question:
Can I post your review?

The way I see it you need not apologize for being verbose about its length. All of these large cup and full figure bras are expensive. If we can save ourselves and other women some money by being informative it's a real fine thing!

There is more but you can read it at my plus size women's clothing Blog on 8/14/08 if you like.

By the way, I've got the Elmoi on again today. I'm wearing it with a t-shirt which is somewhat form fitting, but not tight or clingy. Anyhow, the spillage at the top does not show up! It's still there underneath the shirt, but you wouldn't know it from the outside. So I am still happy with this bra. I am almost tempted to purchase it in another color (I got nude). The Cherry shade looked pretty!
