Product Information

Full details

The Elomi Cate Allure Underwired Full Cup Bra is designed for adult women seeking sophisticated support and a smooth, no-show lace appearance. Its key benefit is the innovative lace design that offers a subtle, sexy look without visible lines, while providing excellent shape and comfort. A potential caveat for some users may be the UK sizing, which requires conversion for accurate fit.

FAQs

How do I convert my US bra size to the UK size used by Elomi?

Elomi uses UK sizing. To convert, measure your band size around your torso directly under the bust. If it's an odd number, round up to the next even number for your band size. Measure around the fullest part of your bust. Subtract your band size from your bust measurement to find your cup size. Refer to the specific size chart provided by Elomi for accurate conversion.

What is the 'no-show' lace feature?

The 'no-show' lace means the lace on the top cup is positioned between the bra's lining and outer sheer layer. This construction prevents the lace pattern from being visible through your clothing, providing a smooth, seamless appearance.

Why does the bra have different hook fastenings?

The number of hooks (2 or 3) depends on the bra size. Smaller band and cup sizes typically use a 2-hook fastening, while larger sizes use a 3-hook fastening to provide more support and ensure a secure fit.

Can I machine wash this bra?

No, this bra should only be hand washed. Machine washing can damage the delicate lace, underwire, and elastic components, compromising the bra's fit and longevity.

What material is the bra made of?

The bra is primarily made of Polyester for the cups and top cup lining, with Polyamide and Elastane in the wings for stretch and support.

What does 'tall chimney back' mean?

The 'tall chimney back' refers to the design of the back band which is cut higher in the center. This design helps to smooth the back and prevent the band from rolling or digging in.

Troubleshooting

Bra straps digging in

Ensure the band is sitting correctly at the back and adjust straps for a snug but comfortable fit. The band should bear most of the weight.

Underwire discomfort

Verify the correct cup size and band size. The underwire should lie flat against the ribcage and encase the entire breast tissue.

Bra rolling up at the back

Check the band size; it might be too loose. Ensure the wings are smooth and lying flat against the skin.

Lace showing through thin fabric

While designed for a no-show effect, very thin or clingy fabrics might still reveal subtle texture. Consider wearing under thicker materials or darker colors.
