Product Information
Full details
The Elomi Cate Underwired Full Cup Banded Bra is designed for individuals seeking reliable support, forward projection, and a refined shape in a full-coverage style. It serves as a modern successor to the popular Caitlyn model, offering a blend of functional side-support panels and aesthetic embroidery. While it provides excellent uplift and separation, potential users should note that the garment requires dedicated hand washing to maintain the integrity of its technical fabrics and structure.

FAQs
Is the Elomi Cate suitable for machine washing?
No, this product is strictly recommended for hand washing to preserve the life of the elastic and the structure of the underwire.
How does the Cate differ from the older Caitlyn style?
The Cate is the direct replacement for the Caitlyn, offering updated embroidery, improved base fabrics, and similar high-support engineering.
Does this bra provide enough separation?
Yes, the three-piece cup design and side support panels are specifically engineered to provide effective separation and forward projection.
What should I do if my size is out of stock?
You can check available variants, as Elomi frequently produces the Cate in a wide range of band and cup combinations.
Does the lace top cup stretch?
The lace is designed for a secure fit with the elasticated edge, but it is not intended to stretch like a sports bra.
Troubleshooting
Underwire digging into the skin
Check if the band size is correct; a band that is too large can cause the bra to ride up, causing the wires to tilt and dig.
Straps slipping off shoulders
Adjust the length of the straps and ensure the back band is firm enough to anchor the bra in place.
Cup puckering at the top
Ensure the breast tissue is fully scooped into the cup during dressing; if the issue persists, the cup volume may be too large.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Elomi Cate, proper care is essential. Due to the underwired construction and delicate embroidery, the manufacturer recommends hand washing only. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as the agitation can distort the wires and damage the elastic fibers. When adjusting the fit, ensure the band sits level around your ribcage and the center gore lies flat against your sternum. If you experience shifting, tighten the shoulder straps slightly, but ensure they are not so tight that they pull the back band upward. Store the bra flat or hanging by the center gore to keep the cups in their intended shape.
