FAQs
What makes the Cate Allure's lace 'no-show'?
The top cup lace is carefully placed between the lining and the sheer outer layer. This construction method ensures a smooth appearance, preventing the lace pattern from being visible through outer garments.
How do I determine the correct band and cup size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart for accurate measurements. It's recommended to measure your band size under the bust and your cup size by measuring from the tip of your bust to the underbust. Trying the bra on is the best way to confirm the fit.
What is the difference in hook fastening between sizes?
Sizes 36-40E, 34-38F, 34-36FF, and 34G use a 2-hook fastening. All other sizes utilize a 3-hook fastening for a more secure and adjustable fit.
Can I machine wash this bra?
No, the Elomi Cate Allure bra is strictly hand wash only. Machine washing can damage the delicate lace, underwire, and fabric structure.
What material is the bra primarily made of?
The main cup is made of 100% Polyester, with the wing comprising 59% Polyamide and 41% Elastane. The top cup lining is 100% Polyamide, and the side cup lining is 100% Polyester.
Is this bra suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, it is designed for everyday wear, offering both comfort and excellent support, particularly under fitted clothing where a smooth silhouette is desired.
What kind of support does the underwire provide?
The underwire is designed to lift and separate the bust, providing strong support and shaping, especially beneficial for fuller bust sizes. It works in conjunction with the cup construction and wing design.
Troubleshooting
Underwire discomfort
Ensure the bra is the correct size and that the underwire casing is not damaged. Adjust the bra straps and band for a proper fit.
Straps slipping
Check that the straps are adjusted to the correct length and that the bra band is sitting comfortably on your ribcage. Ensure the bra is not too loose.
Lace is visible under thin fabric
While designed to be no-show, very sheer or thin fabrics might still show the lace texture. Consider wearing under slightly thicker materials or with a lining.
Bra doesn't feel supportive
Verify that the band is snug and the cups are fully encompassing the breast tissue. Ensure all hooks on the back fastening are engaged correctly for your size.
