Full details
The Elomi Lucie Stretch Plunge Bra in the Wildcat print is designed for adult women seeking a comfortable and supportive plunge bra with a flattering fit. Its key benefit is the forward shape and plunge without push-up, achieved through a banded underwire and specific cup construction. A potential caveat is that the hook fastening size varies depending on the bra's band and cup size, requiring attention to detail for optimal fit.

FAQs
What does 'plunge bra' mean?
A plunge bra has a low centre gore (the part between the cups) and cups that are cut lower, designed to be worn with lower-cut necklines without being visible.
How do I determine my correct band and cup size?
Measure your underbust for the band size and your overbust (at the fullest part) for the cup size. It's recommended to consult a professional bra fitting guide or Elomi's sizing chart for the most accurate measurement.
Is this bra suitable for larger busts?
Yes, Elomi is a brand specifically designed for full-busted and fuller-figured women, offering extensive sizing and supportive construction.
What is the 'Wildcat' print?
The 'Wildcat' print refers to the specific animal-inspired pattern featured on this colorway of the Lucie bra.
Can I wear this bra with very low-cut tops?
Yes, the low centre front is specifically designed for low-cut garments, providing coverage and support without showing the bra.
How does the stretch lace on the top cup affect the fit?
The stretch lace allows the cup to adapt to the shape of the breast, providing a more forgiving and comfortable fit, especially if there are slight differences in fullness between breasts.
What is the difference between a 2-hook and 3-hook fastening?
The number of hooks corresponds to the width of the band closure. A 3-hook fastening typically provides a more secure and supportive fit for larger band sizes.
Troubleshooting
Underband rolling up
Ensure the underband is sitting correctly on your ribcage and that the bra is the correct size. Check if the elastic within the underband has lost its elasticity over time.
Straps digging into shoulders
Adjust the bra straps so they are snug but not tight. The majority of the support should come from the underband, not the straps.
Cups not fitting smoothly
Verify you have selected the correct band and cup size. Ensure the side frame is correctly positioned and the top lace cup is smoothing over the breast tissue.
Bra feels less supportive over time
This may indicate wear and tear. Bras typically have a lifespan, and frequent use/washing can degrade elasticity. Consider replacing if support has significantly decreased.
