FAQs
How do I determine my correct Elomi bra size?
Measure your band size by wearing a non-padded bra and wrapping a soft tape measure around your ribcage, just under your bust. Measure your cup size by wrapping the tape measure around the fullest part of your bust. Consult Elomi's official size chart for conversions, paying attention to specific style recommendations.
Can I wear this bra for everyday use?
Yes, the Elomi Charley Underwired Plunge Bra is designed for comfortable and supportive everyday wear, offering excellent shape and lift.
What type of detergent should I use for hand washing?
Use a mild detergent specifically designed for delicates or lingerie. Avoid bleach or fabric softeners, as they can degrade the fabric and elastic.
What is the purpose of the J-hook on the back band?
The J-hook allows you to easily convert the bra from a standard style to a racerback style, offering more versatility with different clothing necklines and strap configurations.
How does the plunge design differ from a push-up bra?
The plunge design features a lower center gore and cups designed for natural shaping and uplift without any additional padding or push-up mechanism. It is ideal for creating a cleavage effect with deeper necklines.
What are the specific fastening hook counts for different sizes?
The bra uses a 2 Hook Fastening for sizes 36-42DD, 36-40E, 36-38F, 36FF, 34G, 32GG. A 3 Hook Fastening is used for all other sizes, providing increased support for larger band and cup combinations.
Can I machine wash this bra?
It is strongly recommended to hand wash this bra. Machine washing, even on a delicate cycle, can damage the underwires, embroidery, and fabric structure, especially without proper protection.
Troubleshooting
Bra straps digging in
Adjust the straps to a comfortable tension. Ensure the band is fitting correctly, as a loose band can cause straps to bear too much weight.
Underwire poking out
This can happen with wear and tear. Inspect the casing around the underwire; if it's significantly damaged, the bra may need replacement.
Band riding up
The band may be too loose. Ensure you are using the loosest hook for a snug fit that should tighten as the bra stretches over time. Check that the back is flat against your body.
Poor shape or separation
Ensure all parts of the bra are correctly positioned, with the underwire resting in the natural crease of the breast and the cups fully enclosing the breast tissue. Adjusting the side panel and cup seams can help.
