FAQs
What is the main advantage of the Elomi Lucie Plunge Wired Bra?
The main advantage is its ability to provide a forward shape and a flattering plunge neckline without adding extra push-up, making it suitable for lower-cut garments.
How do I determine the correct hook fastening for my size?
The bra uses 2 hooks for sizes 36-44D, 36-42DD, 36-40E, 36-38F, 36FF, 34G, 32GG. All other sizes use 3 hooks. It's best to check the specific size guide or product label.
Is this bra suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, the supportive construction and comfortable stretch lace make it suitable for everyday wear, especially when a lower neckline is desired.
What is the benefit of the stretch lace top cup?
The stretch lace top cup offers flexibility and adapts to the natural shape of the breast, providing ease of fit and comfort.
How should I care for my Elomi Lucie Plunge Wired Bra?
It is recommended to hand wash the bra in cool water with a mild detergent, rinse thoroughly, and lay flat to dry. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and tumble drying.
What does 'plunge bra' mean?
A plunge bra has a low center front designed to be worn with low-cut necklines. It typically offers less coverage at the center compared to a full-coverage bra.
Can I wear this bra if I have sensitive skin?
The bra is made primarily of polyester and lace. The absence of elastic at the neck edge is a plus for sensitive skin. However, individual reactions can vary. Always check the material composition.
Troubleshooting
Bra straps digging in
Ensure the band is sitting correctly and adjust the straps to a looser setting if needed. Check that you have the correct band size.
Underwire discomfort or poking
Verify the bra size and cup fit. The underwire should encase the entire breast tissue. If discomfort persists, the bra may be the wrong size or shape for you.
Band riding up
The band may be too loose. Ensure the band is level and snug against the body, parallel to the floor. Try a smaller band size if necessary.
Cups not fitting properly (gaping or overflowing)
Adjust the straps and check the cup size. If there's gaping, the cup may be too large; if overflowing, it may be too small. Ensure the entire breast is within the cup.
Lace feels rough
Ensure the bra has been washed according to care instructions. Fabric softeners can sometimes affect lace texture. Gentle hand washing should maintain softness.
