Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Elomi Charley bra, proper fit and care are essential. Start by ensuring the underwire sits flat against your ribcage without sitting on breast tissue. When using the J-hook, attach it while the bra is off or with help, as it can be difficult to reach behind the back.
Regarding care, because the garment contains 18% elastane and intricate embroidery, machine washing is strongly discouraged as it can snap elastic fibers and tear the lace. Always hand-wash in cool water using a gentle lingerie detergent. Squeeze out excess water gently—do not wring—and lay the bra flat to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the underwire from warping or the lace from fraying.
