Macys has fumbled big time by not noting if the size selections on their site are US or UK sizing I ordered a 44G which is my proper US size. Obviously one would assume if you are purchasing the bras from a US based corporation that the sizing shown would be american if it is not clearly written UK44G. I instead received a US44I which is a UK44G. This is an enormous discrepancy. I hesitate to buy the proper size now because whose to say the warehouse is even aware of which standard they are using for selection? The bra itself is fabulous, I simply wanted another in a different colorway.

Iām gonna start off by saying that this was my first purchase off of Bare Necessities, and I was very happy with how quickly everything came! That being said, I bought two of these bras and they were unfortunately not for me.Pros:- Best fit Iāve ever gotten from a bra, *period.* I measured myself according to the fit guide, and Iāve genuinely never had a bra fit this well before.

I knew the top of the bra was see-through, but I wasnāt expecting the bottom of the cup to be see-through as well.- You could see the seams through the t-shirt I was wearing. Thereās a seam that goes right down the middle of the cup, and it was fairly obvious when I put my shirt on.I ended up returning these bras, which was a shame because I *really* wanted to like them. Unfortunately, theyāre not good everyday bras. The fabric is itchy, see-through, and feels a little cheap. If youāre not using them for everyday purposes, then these are perfect. Theyāre very, very pretty, and the fit was amazing.

I love this brand of bras! I always love having a matching panty and bra set. It has always been a challenge with larger sizes. This brand provides that options with most of it's styles. Fuller figured women want to fell and look sexy underclothing too! These bras accomplish that! Make sure you get measured to know your correct size, it makes all the difference!

I have worn Elomi for about 10 years now and can say that this company makes a superior product. They make a work horse of a bra. Everything else falls apart on me and I take care of my bras. I wash them properly and hang dry them. This particular bra does run small in the cup. So, I had to return my first order but the second order was perfect. Itās a pretty color, too. The second time I ordered 5 of the same.
I have had trouble with buying bras for almost as long as I have been wearing them. I read a comment somewhere that recommended Elomi. I decided to try it even though the bra was more than I wanted to spend. I was glad I did. This is the best fitting bra I have ever worn. The old ālifts and separatesā line is truly apt. This bra really does. No more sagging!
CHEAP! CHEAP! CHEAP! The right cup was visibly smaller than the left. I was super excited to find something lesser expensive than Wacoal which caters to bigger girls/breasts. The synthetic material was GROSS! I felt like I was putting STRAIGHT UP plastic on (I know, these days, EVERYTHING is made with plastic) but this was liquor store plastic bags....the non-recycable stuff.
I wear a 40 JJ in most Elomi bras. This bra fit true to size. I love Elomi bras and this Charley side support plunge is absolutely my new favorite. It had EVETYTHING: it lifts and separates very nicely, the material and straps are very comfortable, and it looks sexy, which my husband appreciates. It also looks good underneath shirts without obvious seems showing through. One of the best parts is that the underwire is nicely covered/padded and doesnāt irritate my skin when it inevitably rubs against it. I immediately ordered this bra in another color after wearing it for a day. If you are large chested, this bra should not disappoint.
Runs small in the cup - I wear a 32H in the Elomi Matilda, and this style in 32H cut across the top of my breasts. Other than that, it was ok, and I wanted to exchange for a 32HH (amazing that Elomi has that size!!), but unfortunately BN's exchange system is a pain. There no true exchanges, since it is a return & voucher system, so you have to pay full price on the exchange even if you bought the item during a sale. I don't remember it being this difficult when I bought from BN in the past! I contacted customer service to ask about getting the sale price I paid on my exchange, and I was given a new voucher code, but it was invalid at checkout. Nobody replied to my follow-up email, and at this point, it doesn't seem worth going through yet another chat. So just be ...Ā MoreRuns small in the cup - I wear a 32H in the Elomi Matilda, and this style in 32H cut across the top of my breasts.

So just be cautious about ordering if you are an unusual size and might need to exchange - it isn't a bad bra, but there are easier places to order from if you are trying a new style.
Very pleased with the Elomi Charley Side Support Plunge Bra style EL 4382. Have purchased 6+ colors (34G) over the last several years and all are consistent in size and quality. I use a lingerie bag to machine wash/dry on the delicate setting and have never had an underwire poke out, a seam pull, or detection any breakdown of the fabric. Fine number of columns, but an improvement might be a third row of fasteners be available in this size.
I paid extra shipping to have this sent to me in "fawn" I received a lavender entirely NOT at all like the dark purple one with colourful embroidered flowers pictured. it was sealed in a bag, but there was obvious powder marks on the wire line? which also seems odd. I chatted with C.S. to have an exchange done. Was informed I would have to wait 7-14 days for my correct item. but that they would "wave the shipping fee".
