Elomi was launched in 2008 as a plus size bra brand, a much-needed collection of styles that could satisfy fit needs from 32-48, B-KK (USA P cup) and S-4X.

Last week, following the dramatic events that occurred in the United States, my two daughters, age 32 and 34, telephoned me here in Mexico in similar states of hysteria.
