Full details
The Elomi Cate Underwired Full Cup Bra is designed for adults seeking a supportive, everyday lingerie solution that emphasizes forward projection and separation. As a successor to the popular Caitlyn style, this bra offers a refined fit through its three-piece cup construction and elasticated neck edges, providing excellent coverage without feeling overly bulky. While it delivers exceptional uplift and comfort, users should note that the garment is strictly recommended for hand washing to preserve its structure and delicate embroidery.

FAQs
Is the Elomi Cate suitable for all breast shapes?
The Cate is designed for a variety of shapes but excels for those requiring forward projection and separation due to its specific three-piece construction.
How does the Cate differ from the older Caitlyn style?
The Cate was developed as a modern replacement for the Caitlyn, incorporating improved embroidery and updated fit technology while maintaining the beloved support structure.
Can I put this bra in the dryer?
No. The heat from a dryer will degrade the elastane and damage the embroidery. Always air dry the bra.
Is the fabric itchy against the skin?
The bra uses a mix of polyester, polyamide, and elastane designed to be smooth against the body, though the embroidery is decorative and may have a textured feel.
How often should I replace my Elomi Cate bra?
Depending on frequency of wear and proper care, a bra should be replaced when the elastic loses its tension or the underwire no longer provides consistent lift.
What should I do if the cup feels too large?
If you experience gaping at the top, ensure the straps are properly adjusted. If it remains, you may need to try a smaller cup size.
Troubleshooting
Underwire is digging into the ribcage
This often indicates that the band is too tight or the cup size is too small; try a larger band size or a larger cup size for better clearance.
Straps are slipping off the shoulders
Tighten the fully adjustable straps slightly. If the issue persists, the band size may be too large, causing the back to ride up.
Fabric looks puckered after washing
Puckering usually occurs due to machine washing or high heat. Always stick to hand washing in cool water to prevent structural damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Elomi Cate, follow these setup and maintenance guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure the underwire sits flat against your ribcage without digging into the breast tissue. If the wire sits on your breast, you may need a larger cup size.
- Strap Adjustment: Adjust the straps at the back; they should be tight enough to provide support but loose enough to slide one finger underneath comfortably.
- Care Instructions: This bra is Hand Wash Only. Submerge in cool water with a mild lingerie detergent, gently swirl, and rinse thoroughly.
- Drying: Never wring the bra. Gently press out excess water with a towel and lay flat to dry in the shade to maintain the elasticity of the fabric.
