Best of Broad: Elomi Matilda
It snuck up on us, as love often does. But now we’re head-over-heels and we want to shout it from the rooftops: the Elomi Matilda plunge bra is the one! Here’s why.
That plunge.
Matilda’s lower centre wires are fantastic for close-set or more centre-full boobs. Where taller wires might poke you or not sit quite right, this plunge style just stays out of your way. The lower neckline also adds a touch of sexy to your everyday look. Who says we can’t have it all? I’m especially fond of the way Elomi highlights this shape with a line of embroidered dots. It’s modern and cool, and a nice change of pace from the usual lace. (And for those of you who like your lingerie less frilly, let me just say that you won’t find a bow on this bra.)
That j-hook.
The j-hook is an extra piece on the back of the straps that lets you convert Matilda into a racer-back. This makes it easy to wear with a variety of necklines, and it’s also way more secure and comfortable for people with petite or sloped shoulders. No more fighting with slippy straps!
Those colours.
Matilda in black and “cafe au lait” (a soft, pretty beige) are permanent fixtures in Elomi’s lineup. These are awesome basics. But if you want something a little more exciting, you can have that, too! Previous seasons have brought us fashion colours like purple and denim blue, and this winter was brightened up by a flame red option.
That size range.
I can hear you already: “Matilda sounds amazing, but does it even come in my size?” Lots of full-busted folks are used to feeling left out of the fun stuff. There’s no one bra that fits every size and shape, but Elomi has expanded Matilda’s size range to include quite a lot. This bra comes in full bust and plus sizes: 36-46DD, 36-44E-FF, 32-42GG-HH, and 32-40J-JJ.
