FAQs
What is the main benefit of the non-stretch top cup?
The non-stretch top cup provides additional support and helps to maintain a consistent forward shape and uplift throughout the day, which is particularly beneficial for larger cup sizes.
Can I machine wash this bra?
No, this bra should only be hand washed in cool water with a mild detergent. Machine washing or tumble drying can damage the delicate materials and construction.
What does the 'tall chimney back' feature do?
The tall chimney back is designed to provide a smoothing effect on the back, offering a seamless look under clothing and preventing the bra band from rolling or bunching.
Is this bra suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, the Elomi Zarla bra is designed for everyday wear, offering comfort, support, and a smooth silhouette. Its delicate embroidery adds a touch of style.
What material are the cups made from?
The cups are cut from tulle with a sheer lining, offering support with a light and sexy look. The main cup material is 100% Polyester.
How do I determine the correct size?
It is recommended to get professionally fitted for the best results. You can also consult a sizing guide, measuring your band size and cup size, but a professional fitting is the most accurate method.
Does the embroidery add bulk under clothing?
The embroidery is applied using a flat stitch specifically for minimal show-through and to avoid adding bulk, making it suitable for wearing under various types of clothing.
What is the hook fastening size for this bra?
This bra features a 2 Hook fastening on sizes 36-42DD, 36-40E, 36-38F, 36FF, 34G, 32GG. All other sizes have a 3 Hook fastening for increased support.
Troubleshooting
Bra band rides up
Ensure the band is snug and sitting correctly on your ribcage. Check that the straps are adjusted properly, as tight straps can pull the band upwards. If the issue persists, the band may be too large.
Straps digging in
Loosen the strap adjusters. The band should provide most of the support; if the band is too loose, the straps will bear too much weight. Ensure you are wearing the correct band size.
Breast tissue escaping from the cups (spillage)
Check if the cups are the correct size and shape for your breasts. Ensure all breast tissue is scooped into the cups from the sides and underarm area during fitting. The non-stretch top cup and side support are designed to prevent this, so a fit issue is likely.
Embroidery is visible under clothing
While designed for minimal show-through, very thin or clingy fabrics might reveal the embroidery. Ensure the bra is lying flat and smooth against the skin. If it's still noticeable, consider wearing a smoother fabric bra.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Offers excellent support and uplift, particularly beneficial for larger cup sizes.
- The non-stretch top cup and side support panels provide a confident, forward shape.
- Lightweight and sheer cup construction offers a comfortable, less-is-more feel.
- The embroidery is designed for minimal show-through, making it versatile under various clothing types.
- Smooth wing construction ensures a comfortable fit without digging or rolling.
Cons
- Requires hand washing only, which may be less convenient for some users.
- The sheer cup lining, while stylish, may not be preferred by everyone for everyday wear.
- Non-adjustable straps (implied by typical bra construction, not explicitly stated as a con but a common consideration).
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: As a bra, the 'setup' involves selecting the correct size and adjusting the straps for a comfortable fit. Ensure the band sits level and snug against your body, and the cups fully enclose the breast tissue. The hook-and-eye closure allows for minor adjustments in fit.
Compatibility: This bra is designed for adult women, specifically catering to a range of band and cup sizes, including larger options. Its smooth design and minimal show-through embroidery make it compatible with a variety of outfits, from casual wear to more formal attire.
Care:
- Washing: Hand wash only in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay flat to dry away from direct heat. Heat from a tumble dryer can damage the straps, rings, and elastic, potentially causing them to break.
- Storage: Store folded or rolled to maintain its shape.
