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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers a smooth, seamless look under clothing due to the innovative no-show lace design.
  • Provides excellent forward shape and support for a flattering silhouette.
  • Comfortable for all-day wear with soft edges and smooth materials.
  • Sophisticated aesthetic with subtle lace detailing.
  • Designed with a focus on supportive construction for fuller busts.

Cons

  • Hook fastening varies by size, so check specifications before purchasing.
  • Hand wash only, which may be less convenient for some users.
  • Underwire may not be preferred by individuals seeking wire-free options.
  • The specific color mentioned (Green) might have limited availability.
  • Lace detailing may not suit those preferring entirely plain designs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As a bra, the Elomi Cate Allure does not require a setup process. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal fit and support. The hook-and-eye closure at the back allows for easy fastening and adjustment.

Compatibility: This bra is designed for adult women. It is compatible with a wide range of clothing styles, particularly those where a smooth, seamless look is desired. It is suitable for daily wear and can be paired with both casual and formal attire.

Care: To maintain the quality and longevity of the bra, Hand Wash Only is recommended. Use a mild detergent in cool or lukewarm water. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach. Rinse thoroughly and gently squeeze out excess water, being careful not to wring the fabric. Lay flat or hang to dry, away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not tumble dry.

Sizing Note: The number of hooks on the fastening varies by size:

  • 2 Hook Fastening: 36-40E, 34-38F, 34-36FF, 34G sizes
  • 3 Hook Fastening: All other sizes
