FAQs

What makes the 'no-show lace' different?

The top cup lace is ingeniously placed between the lining and the sheer outer layer. This construction technique creates a smooth, contemporary appearance that is less likely to be visible under clothing compared to traditional lace placement.

How does the hook fastening vary by size?

For sizes 36-40E, 34-38F, 34-36FF, and 34G, the bra features a 2-hook fastening. All other available sizes utilize a 3-hook fastening for enhanced support and adjustability.

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

The tall chimney back is designed to provide a smoothing effect. It helps to distribute tissue smoothly across the back, creating a streamlined silhouette under clothing and preventing bulges.

Can this bra be machine washed?

No, this bra requires hand washing only. Machine washing, especially on a high setting or with harsh detergents, can damage the fabric, lace, and underwire, compromising the bra's fit and longevity.

What material is the bra made from?

The bra is primarily made from Polyester, Polyamide, and Elastane. The top cup is 100% Polyester, the side cup lining is 100% Polyester, and the wings are composed of 59% Polyamide and 41% Elastane, with a 100% Polyamide top cup lining.

Is this bra suitable for everyday wear?

Yes, the Elomi Cate Allure is designed for everyday wear, offering a blend of comfort, support, and a smooth aesthetic that makes it suitable for a variety of outfits and activities.

What is the benefit of the side cup liner?

The soft tulle liner added to the side cup provides additional support and helps to create a forward shape for the bust, contributing to the overall silhouette and comfort of the bra.

Troubleshooting

Bra feels uncomfortable or digs in.

Ensure you have selected the correct band and cup size. Check that the underwires are sitting correctly against your ribcage and not on breast tissue. Adjust the straps to the appropriate tension.

Straps are slipping.

Adjust the strap length. Ensure the bra band is sitting level and snug on your back, as a loose band can cause straps to slip.

Lace appears visible under thin clothing.

While designed for no-show, extremely sheer or tight fabrics may still show slight texture. Consider wearing a thicker material top or a smoother bra if a completely invisible line is critical.

The bra is not providing enough support.

Verify that the band size is correct and snug. The band provides the majority of the support. Ensure the cups are fully encompassing the breast tissue.
