The Elomi Matilda Underwired Plunge Bra is one of Brava's most-fitted bras, and it earns that position by solving a persistent problem: a plunge neckline that doesn't compromise support at larger cup sizes. The Matilda is classified as a plunge bra, but its cup construction is closer to a full cup — deep, projected, with tall cup sections that contain the full breast rather than leaving the upper portion unsupported. The result is genuine lift and containment with a V-neckline that works under most tops. D to K cup.
Why fitters recommend it so consistently
Most plunge bras at larger cup sizes sacrifice support for style — the low centre gore reduces the available cup engineering and limits how much lift the bra can provide. The Matilda gets around this by using deeper-than-standard cups with multiple sections, combined with Elomi's signature deep U-wire that sits further under the breast tissue than most brands. The plunge neckline is achieved through cup angle rather than reduced cup height — which means you get the low neckline without losing the containment.
The Matilda is recommended across a wide range of bust shapes: heavier, softer, and pendulous busts that need lift; projected busts that need depth; and asymmetric busts that need adaptable cup fabric. It's available in black and nude as year-round basics, with a regular rotation of fashion colours and prints that are highly sought-after when they release.
