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. As a modern successor to the beloved Caitlyn model, it offers a sophisticated geometric aesthetic with practical features like elasticated neck edges for an adaptive fit. While it provides exceptional uplift and separation, the delicate nature of the sheer embroidery and structural components necessitates careful handling through hand washing to maintain its integrity over time.

FAQs
Is the Elomi Cate the same as the Elomi Caitlyn?
The Cate was developed by Elomi as the official replacement for the Caitlyn. While it shares many of the same fit principles and construction features, it features a refreshed aesthetic with modern geometric embroidery.
How should I wash this bra?
This bra is hand wash only. Using a washing machine may damage the underwires, stretch the fabric, and cause the delicate embroidery to fray.
Does this bra provide full coverage?
Yes, it is classified as a full cup bra. It provides comprehensive coverage and security, though it is designed to look polished rather than feeling like a full-coverage 'minimizer' style.
What material is it made from?
The bra is constructed primarily from high-quality polyester, which is chosen for its durability and ability to hold intricate embroidery shapes.
Are the straps adjustable?
Yes, the straps are fully adjustable, allowing you to tailor the tension and lift to your specific preference and body shape.
Will the neck edge show under shirts?
The elasticated neck edge is designed to sit flat against the skin to prevent gapping. It is low-profile enough to be worn under most everyday tops and blouses.
Troubleshooting
Straps digging into shoulders
Ensure the straps are adjusted to your torso height; if they are too tight, they will dig in. Also, verify that the band size is snug enough to do the heavy lifting, as the straps should only support about 20% of the weight.
Wires poking underarms
This often occurs if the cup size is too small or if the gore (center bridge) is not sitting flat against your chest. Check your cup size to ensure you are not spilling over.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Elomi Cate, proper care is essential. Due to the construction of the wires and the delicate nature of the embroidered mesh, this bra is strictly hand wash only. Submerging the bra in cool water with a mild, delicate detergent is recommended. Gently squeeze the fabric to clean, avoid twisting the cups, and lay flat to dry to preserve the shape of the wires and the elasticity of the straps. When choosing your size, remember that the Elomi Cate is based on a standard UK sizing scale. If you are transitioning from the previous Caitlyn style, you will likely find the fit to be very similar, but it is always advisable to use the adjusted straps to customize the fit once the hook-and-eye closure is fastened.
