FAQs
How do I know if I have the right size?
A properly fitting bra should have the back band sitting level and snug on your torso, the underwires should fully enclose your breasts without digging, and the cups should be smooth without any gaping or spillage. Adjust the straps and hooks for the best fit.
Can I machine wash this bra?
No, this bra is strictly hand wash only. Machine washing can damage the underwire, distort the cups, and degrade the delicate lace and fabric.
What does 'no-show lace' mean?
It means the lace is constructed in a way that it lies flat and is integrated between layers, making it invisible under clothing. This allows for a smooth appearance even with lace detailing.
What is the purpose of the double-layer wings?
The double-layer wings provide extra support and ensure a smooth, comfortable fit by lying flat against the skin without rolling or digging in.
How does the hook fastening differ by size?
Smaller band and cup size ranges (36-40E, 34-38F, 34-36FF, 34G) use a 2-hook fastening for a snug fit, while larger sizes utilize a 3-hook fastening to provide adequate support and coverage.
Is this bra suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, the Cate Allure bra is designed for comfortable everyday support, especially for those needing full bust support. Its smooth finish makes it versatile under various outfits.
What is the material composition?
The bra is made from a blend of Polyester, Polyamide, and Elastane. Specific parts like the top cup are 100% Polyester, while wing material is 59% Polyamide and 41% Elastane. The lining is typically Polyester and Polyamide.
Troubleshooting
Underwire digging or discomfort
Ensure you have selected the correct band and cup size. An ill-fitting bra can cause the underwire to sit incorrectly. Try adjusting the straps and ensuring the back band is level.
Bra straps slipping
Adjust the straps for a snug fit. Ensure the back band is at the correct level (usually parallel to the ground). If straps continue to slip, the bra may be too large in the cup or band.
Lace feels irritating
While designed to be smooth, some individuals with very sensitive skin may experience irritation. Ensure the bra is correctly fitted, as a poor fit can exacerbate friction. Wearing for shorter periods initially can help.
Bra loses shape after washing
This is often due to improper washing. Always hand wash and air dry as per care instructions. Avoid machine washing, hot water, and tumble drying, which can damage the fabric and underwire.
