FAQs

What is the best way to determine my correct size?

The most accurate way is to get professionally fitted. If doing so at home, measure your band size (underbust) and cup size (overbust) and consult a size chart. Ensure the band is snug and the cups fully encapsulate the breast tissue without gaping or spilling.

Can I machine wash this bra?

No, the Elomi Zarla Underwired Bra is strictly hand wash only. Machine washing, even on a delicate cycle, can damage the embroidery, underwires, and fabric.

How do I care for the embroidery?

The embroidery is made with flat stitch for minimal show-through. To preserve its appearance and integrity, always hand wash gently and avoid harsh detergents or excessive rubbing.

What does 'non-stretch top cup' mean?

This means the fabric used for the top portion of the cup is designed not to stretch. This provides extra support and helps maintain the bra's shape throughout the day, preventing the cup from becoming loose or misshapen.

What is the purpose of the 'tall chimney back'?

The tall chimney back design is intended to provide a smooth and seamless appearance at the back, helping to distribute pressure evenly and prevent the band from rolling or digging in.

Does the bra offer good side support?

Yes, the bra features three-section cups plus side support panels specifically designed to offer forward shape and uplift, contributing to effective side support.

What are the materials used in this bra?

The bra's composition includes Polyester for the cup, and Polyamide and Elastane for the wings. The cup lining is Polyamide, and the embroidery is Polyester.

Troubleshooting

Bra straps digging in

Ensure the bra is the correct size and that the straps are adjusted properly, not overtightened. The back band should carry most of the support.

Underwire poking or discomfort

This usually indicates an incorrect fit. Check that the underwire channels are sitting correctly in the breast crease and that the band size is appropriate. Consult a professional fitter if the issue persists.

Embroidery looks raised or is damaged

This may occur if the bra was washed incorrectly (e.g., machine washed or tumble dried). Follow the hand-wash-only instructions carefully.

Band riding up

The band size might be too large. The band should sit horizontally and firmly around your rib cage. Try a smaller band size if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

As an underwired bra, the Elomi Zarla is designed for immediate wear after purchase. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal fit and support. The bra features hook-and-eye closures at the back, which may have either a 2-hook or 3-hook fastening depending on the specific size, to allow for adjustment.

Compatibility:

This bra is designed for women and is compatible with most standard clothing types. The smooth wing construction and minimal show-through embroidery make it suitable for wear under t-shirts, blouses, and dresses. It is available in various band and cup sizes to accommodate different figures.

Care Instructions:

  • Hand Wash Only: Due to the delicate nature of the embroidery and construction, the bra must be hand washed.
  • Use Mild Detergent: Wash with lukewarm water and a mild detergent specifically designed for delicates.
  • Do Not Wring or Twist: Gently squeeze out excess water without wringing.
  • Reshape and Dry Flat: Reshape the bra while damp and lay it flat to dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
  • Do Not Tumble Dry: Avoid tumble drying as the heat can damage the bra's components, including straps and underwires, potentially causing them to break.
