Full details

The Elomi Cate Allure Underwired Full Cup Bra is designed for women seeking sophisticated support and a smooth, contemporary silhouette. Its key benefit is the innovative no-show lace that offers a subtly sexy look without compromising on comfort or shape. A minor caveat is the specific hook fastening variation based on size, requiring attention during selection.

FAQs

What makes the Elomi Cate Allure's lace 'no-show'?

The top cup lace is sandwiched between the lining and the sheer outer layer. This construction method ensures the lace lies flat and smooth, preventing it from showing through outer garments.

How do I determine my correct size?

Elomi bras are sold in UK sizing. Measure your band size around the torso directly under the bust, rounding up to the nearest even number if needed. Measure your bust size around the fullest part of your bust. Subtract your band size from your bust size to find your cup size. Refer to the provided size chart for conversion.

What is the difference between the 2-hook and 3-hook fastening?

The fastening type depends on the size. Smaller band and cup sizes (e.g., 36-40E, 34-38F, 34-36FF, 34G) use a 2-hook fastening, while larger sizes use a 3-hook fastening for added support and coverage.

Can I machine wash this bra?

No, this bra is strictly hand wash only. Machine washing can damage the delicate lace, underwire, and overall structure, leading to a reduced lifespan and loss of support.

What material is the bra made of?

The cups are primarily made of 100% Polyester with a satin simplex finish. The side cup lining is 100% Polyester, and the wings are made of 59% Polyamide and 41% Elastane. The top cup lining is 100% Polyamide.

How does the 'tall chimney back' feature help?

The tall chimney back is designed to provide a smoothing effect by extending higher up the back, helping to create a seamless line and prevent the bra from digging in or rolling down.

Is this bra suitable for everyday wear?

Yes, the Elomi Cate Allure is designed for comfortable, supportive everyday wear, offering a smooth appearance under various clothing types and providing excellent shape and lift.

Troubleshooting

Bra is uncomfortable or digging in

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check that the band is level and snug, and the straps are adjusted properly without being too tight. The encased elastics in the wings should provide a soft feel; if digging occurs, re-evaluate band fit.

Straps are slipping

Adjust the straps to a snug fit. If slipping persists, ensure the band is sitting correctly on your ribcage, as a too-loose band can cause straps to fall. Ensure the back fastening is secure.

Lace is visible through thin fabric

While designed for no-show, very sheer or clingy fabrics might show some texture. Ensure the top cup lace is laying flat and smoothly against the skin. Consider a slightly thicker fabric if this is a concern.

Underwire discomfort

Underwires should gently cup the breast tissue. If they are poking or causing pain, the bra size or shape may not be suitable for your breast shape. Ensure the underwire channel is fully encompassing the breast root.
