FAQs
What makes the Cate Allure bra different from the Elomi Cate?
The Cate Allure builds on the Elomi Cate design by incorporating a no-show lace on the top cup, which is caught between the lining and sheer outer layer for a smooth, contemporary appearance that is subtle and sophisticated.
What is the material composition of the bra?
The bra is primarily made of Polyester for the cups and top cup lining. The wings are a blend of Polyamide and Elastane, and the side cup lining is Polyamide.
How do I determine the correct band and cup size?
It is recommended to measure your underbust for the band size and your bust for the cup size. Professional fitting is also advised for the most accurate results. Remember that hook fastening can vary by size.
Can this bra be machine washed?
No, this bra is strictly Hand Wash Only to preserve the fabric, lace, and construction. Use a mild detergent and cool water.
What kind of support does this bra offer?
It offers significant support through its underwire construction, smooth satin simplex cups, soft tulle liner for forward shape, and double-layer wings with a tall chimney back for smoothing and lift.
Is the lace itchy?
The lace is designed to be incorporated between layers for a smooth finish. While individual sensitivity varies, the construction aims to minimize irritation for comfortable wear.
What sizes have a 2-hook fastening versus a 3-hook fastening?
A 2 Hook Fastening is used for sizes 36-40E, 34-38F, 34-36FF, and 34G. All other sizes feature a 3 Hook Fastening for added adjustability and support.
Troubleshooting
Bra straps digging in
Ensure the bra is the correct size and the straps are adjusted properly. If the issue persists, the band size may be too large, causing the straps to carry too much weight.
Underwire poking or discomfort
Verify the underwire casing is intact. If the underwire has shifted or broken, the bra may need replacement. Ensure the band size is correct, as an incorrect band size can misalign the underwire.
Cups not fitting properly (gaping or spilling)
The cup size or band size may be incorrect. If there's gaping, the cup might be too large or the band too loose. If there's spilling, the cup may be too small or the band too tight.
Lace appears visible under thin clothing
While designed for a no-show effect, very thin or clingy fabrics may still show lace texture. Consider wearing a smooth, seamless layer underneath if absolute invisibility is required.
