I've been wearing the Cate Side Support for years. If you take care of your bras, wash them in warm water and hang dry them (never put them in the dryer), they will last for years to come. I've just reordered more in this style because there are colors I don't have and wanted to add. I'm also replacing bras that I've "outgrown"). If you're looking for a bra that will give you support, pretty and comfortable to wear, this bra might be the one you will want to try if you haven't already. I have to admit, I have many bras, different styles, back & front hook, but the most style in my collection are the Cate Side Support. This style seems to look good under anything I wear. Enjoy shopping. BTW, the customer service at Bare Necessities is outstanding. Give them a call if ... MoreI've been wearing the Cate Side Support for years.

Very hard finding large size bras and this one is the best I’ve had in a while. Will definitely be buying more and definitely would recommend.The underwire is very big, it’s thick and goes very far back, this offers a great amount of support but some days hurts middle of my chest.But that being said, the full cup is actually full cup, supports my fuller shaped boobs with good coverage and side boob support also!Disappointed with the price though. M&S sells bras in two packs for half this price. Would be nice if they had larger sizes in more affordable options.Which is why this review lost 1 star.Price 3/5Comfortable 4/5Looks 4/5 ( personal preference)Sizing 5/5Support 5/5Coverage 5/5Side support 5/5Durability 5/5Recommend 5/5

It doesn’t fit right either. My “size” 34DDDD=34F. I ordered color Hazel. I received no confirmation after ordering but the money was withdrawn from my bank. I did however receive lots of emails to buy products. I called once and customer service was good. Still no delivery nor email. I called again today. Spoke to someone who did NOT have good customer service skills. I get this bra today. 34 F just too tight and it’s puffy over my bust. I have to reposition it several times and add bra extender now it’s comfortable. I’m not going to return it too much trouble and I’ll just hope the bra looks good under my clothes. Ugh, dissatisfying and disappointing. Sorry, but not a good experience.

Overall: happy to have gotten a nice quality bra on sale.Pros:- Very pretty color, with some sparkly thread that is not itchy- Strong medium-width straps that hold onto that resizer thingy so it doesn't constantly slip- Nice thick fabric- I feel very supported in this bra. I have heavy teardrop breasts and I get good lift and separation in this bra.- I think it is relatively correctly sized, compared to the size I wear in Cacqiue for example-- Bare Necessities recommended a 38FF as equivalent 38H. I could have sized up a cup or 2, but the SHAPE of the cup was accurate. There's just a little spillage over the sides and top which can be adjusted. You know what I mean.- Pretty good price on sale. I'm not sure I would pay $62 for it. But a $30 bra in size HUGE is ... MoreOverall: happy to have gotten a nice quality bra on sale.Pros:- Very pretty color, with some sparkly thread that is not itchy- Strong medium-width straps that hold onto that resizer thingy so it doesn't constantly slip- Nice thick fabric- I feel very supported in this bra.

I'm not sure I would pay $62 for it. But a $30 bra in size HUGE is an excellent deal.Cons:* The underwires feel a little weak, and I feel them poking up in the underwire under my arms. My Lane Bryant bras that had this same feel always ended up having the underwire bust through the fabric in less than a year. Time will tell!* The 'side support' makes these a little uncomfortable to wear for really long periods. The light boning digs in a little, and rides up on my spare tire fat (sorry, TMI). Maybe it will soften up and become more comfortable over time though.
I really wanted to like this bra. Loved the color (purple) and the feminine design. However, the band was uncomfortably tight. I ordered 4 bras, each from a different brand but all the same size and very similar styles. The band was noticeably tighter on this one despite being the same size. When I laid this on top of another that fit well, the band on this one was about 1/2 inch shorter. The cup size fit fine, just the band was too small for me. I did like the side support which is a must for me and not as easy to find as some other more common bra features. I did return this but may try the next band size up in the future because I really liked it otherwise.
I have worn Elomi bras for many years. So I purchased 2 in different colors. The sales associate told me that because they did not have the G cup in my size but she was sure that the FF cup was the equivalent to G cup. This purchase was a mistake. I waited until I was home to try them on. I hput it on and felt good about the straps and side bands. I put the white one on and removed the tags to wash them by hand and allow to dry overnight. When they were dry I put the white bra on to leave for an appointment. My breast looked like I had two extra breast’s over flowing at the top of the bra. The cup literally resembled a smashed cone overflowing with a melon. I am so upset with this purchase. I wasted a lot of my money on two (2) bras that will never fit, unless I cut ... MoreI have worn Elomi bras for many years. So I purchased 2 in different colors.

The cup literally resembled a smashed cone overflowing with a melon. I am so upset with this purchase. I wasted a lot of my money on two (2) bras that will never fit, unless I cut my breasts in half … the two stars are for the construction of the bras.
I measured myself using Reddit: A Bra That Fits and it said I'm a 38FF (UK)/ 38H (US).This bra in 38FF has 3 rows of hook & eye closure, and wide, ribbed straps. The gore sat nicely on my sternum. However, the cups were too big in the upper area and the cups also come up really high. Mostly, what I disliked was that this bra is unlined, even though the online description says it is "double layer". That fooled me. I need lining for my bigger breasts to cover up the nipples.
I got this bra in three different colors during a sale, and I love it! However, I got rosewood expecting a much lighter color based off of the photo. I don't think this is an issue with my monitor, since the difference is still extreme on other devices in the house. The construction of the bra is well-made, and has survived several washes. My only issue with the fit is how tall the gore is. The gore often tries to stick out on my lower-cut shirts. Its worth noting that I have a very short torso, so this might be because of the way I'm built. Regardless, it's the best fitting bra I own, and very comfortable. I wear a 42J, and used a 6-measurement system from r/abrathatfits.
Since my first wearing of this bra the shoulder straps have been a problem because the elastic rolls. Initially I used to get my partner to straighten them after putting the bra on. After about a year of irregular use (mainly for special occasions) they are permanently rolled and, despite straightening them, they immediately roll again. When I wear the bra this forms a visible ridge across my shoulders. This is extremely unfortunate because it is the best fitting bra I have ever owned. If it wasn't for this problem I would buy this bra to the exclusion of all others.
The wires in these bras have been replaced with a think wire that breaks after a month. I have 7 brand new bras with broken wires. What were you thinking to replace a thick wire in your large cup size bras with a thin one than breaks after a few uses. My bras are still brand new. I took them back to the bra shop and complained but they would not refund my money. I even show them the wire in my old Elomi bras vs the new ones, she agreed quality is not there anymore. Not to mention the pain of being stabbed by a wire while driving your car. Ex Elomi lover.
