Full details

This guide is for individuals seeking a supportive and stylish plunge bra, specifically the Elomi Lucie in the Wildcat pattern and size 42G. Its key benefit is providing a forward shape and comfortable fit for larger busts with a low center front, while a potential caveat is that the fit may vary based on individual body shape. The Lucie bra features a banded underwire, three-section printed cups with a side frame for shaping, and a top cup made of powerful stretch lace for ease and a rounded silhouette. The neck edge is designed without elastic for a smooth finish, and the back features stretch fabric over powernet for anchorage and support. It also includes an enclosed underband elastic to prevent rolling and uses a hook fastening system that varies by size for optimal fit.

FAQs

What is the main benefit of the Elomi Lucie Plunge Wired Bra?

The Elomi Lucie Plunge Wired Bra offers a low centre front for a plunge neckline without push-up, combined with supportive construction for a rounded, forward shape, making it ideal for fuller busts and lower necklines.

How do I determine the correct size?

It is recommended to consult a professional bra fitting guide or seek a professional fitting. Key measurements include band size (around the ribcage) and cup size (difference between bust and ribcage measurements). As a reference, this specific product is size 42G.

Is the animal print (Wildcat) available in other colors?

The Elomi Lucie bra model is available in various patterns and colors, including other animal-themed prints. Please check the product listings for available colorways.

Can this bra be machine washed?

No, hand washing in cool water with a mild detergent is recommended to preserve the fabric, underwire, and overall structure of the bra.

What type of support does the stretch lace top cup offer?

The powerful stretch lace top cup is designed to adapt to the shape of the bust, providing a rounded shape and ease of fit. It accommodates different levels of fullness comfortably.

How does the hook fastening vary by size?

Sizes 36-44D, 36-42DD, 36-40E, 36-38F, 36FF, 34G, and 32GG typically use a 2-hook fastening. All other sizes utilize a 3-hook fastening for increased security and support.

Will the neck edge be comfortable?

Yes, the neck edge has no elastic, which is designed for a smooth finish against the skin and to prevent irritation or digging.

Troubleshooting

Straps digging in

Adjust the strap length to ensure they are not too tight. Make sure the bra band is sitting correctly on your back, as this carries most of the support.

Band rolling up

Ensure you have selected the correct band size. The enclosed underband elastic is designed to minimize rolling, but an incorrect size will still cause issues. The bra should sit comfortably and firmly around your ribcage.

Underwire discomfort

Verify that the underwire channels are sitting correctly in the IMF (Inframammary Fold). An underwire that is too high or too low can cause discomfort. Check if the size is appropriate; sometimes a size issue can manifest as underwire pain.

Gapping in the top cup

The stretch lace top cup should adapt, but significant gapping might indicate the cup size is too large. Ensure the bra is fastened correctly and the cups are smoothed out.
