Product Information

Full details

The Elomi Lucie Stretch Plunge Bra is designed for adult women seeking comfortable and supportive everyday wear with a touch of style. Its key benefit is providing a forward shape and a flattering plunge neckline without excessive push-up, while a potential caveat is the specific hook-and-eye count varying by size. Key features include a banded underwire, three-section printed cups with a side frame for shape, a low center front for a natural plunge, and a top cup crafted from powerful stretch lace for ease of fit and a rounded silhouette. The absence of elastic at the neck edge ensures a smooth finish, and the back is constructed from stretch fabric over powernet for excellent anchorage and support. An enclosed narrower underband elastic minimizes rolling, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit throughout the day.

FAQs

What makes the Elomi Lucie bra a 'plunge' style?

The 'plunge' refers to the low center front of the bra, designed to accommodate lower-cut necklines without showing the bra itself. It offers a flattering shape without the aggressive push-up effect found in some other styles.

How does the stretch lace top cup benefit the fit?

The powerful stretch lace in the top cup allows the bra to adapt to the natural shape of your bust, providing ease of fit and accommodating slight variations. It creates a smooth, rounded silhouette and helps prevent any digging or gapping.

Why is there no elastic on the neck edge?

The absence of elastic on the neck edge is a design choice to ensure a smooth finish against the skin and under clothing. This prevents any visible lines or discomfort often caused by elastic digging in, especially with fitted garments.

How do I know which hook fastening to use?

The number of hook fastenings depends on the bra size. Smaller sizes (e.g., 32GG) use 2 hooks, while larger sizes (e.g., 40DD) use 3 hooks. This variation provides adequate support and closure security across the size range.

Is this bra suitable for larger busts?

Yes, Elomi is a brand specializing in supportive lingerie for fuller figures. The Lucie bra, with its banded underwire, side frame, and robust back construction, is designed to offer excellent support for larger cup and band sizes.

Can I wear this bra for long periods?

The bra is designed for daily wear with features aimed at comfort and support, such as the elastic-free neck edge and minimized band rolling. However, individual comfort can vary, and it's always recommended to listen to your body.

What is the main difference between this and a push-up bra?

Unlike a push-up bra, the Elomi Lucie is a stretch plunge bra. Its low center front provides a natural plunge without adding extra padding or lift, creating a rounded shape and accommodating lower necklines comfortably.

Troubleshooting

Bra band is rolling up

Ensure the bra is the correct size, particularly the band. Adjust the hook-and-eye closure to a tighter setting if it feels too loose. The enclosed underband elastic is designed to minimize rolling, but a fundamentally incorrect size will override this feature.

Straps are digging in

Check that the band is providing the primary support and the straps are not bearing too much weight. Adjust the strap length. Ensure the cups are not overflowing or too large, which can cause straps to tighten excessively.

Cups are not fitting smoothly

Verify you have the correct cup size. If the lace top cup is wrinkling or gapping, you may need a larger cup size. If the lace is digging in or there is spillage, you may need a smaller cup size. Ensure the underwire is sitting correctly against the rib cage.

Underwire is uncomfortable

Ensure the underwire is centered and lying flat against the rib cage, not on the breast tissue. If discomfort persists, the bra may be the wrong size or shape for your body. Verify the center gore is sitting flat against the sternum.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Elomi Lucie Plunge Wired Bra is ready to wear upon purchase. Ensure you select the correct band and cup size for optimal fit and support. The bra features a hook-and-eye closure at the back, with the number of hooks varying by size: 2 hooks for sizes 36-44D, 36-42DD, 36-40E, 36-38F, 36FF, 34G, 32GG, and 3 hooks for all other sizes. Adjust the hooks to the loosest setting initially and fasten securely.

Compatibility: This bra is designed for adult women and is compatible with a wide range of apparel, especially those with lower necklines. The smooth finish and plunge design make it suitable for various clothing types.

Care: To maintain the integrity and longevity of the bra:

  1. Washing: Hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals.
  2. Drying: Gently squeeze out excess water without wringing. Lay flat or hang to air dry away from direct sunlight and heat.
  3. Storage: Store folded or unhooked to maintain its shape. Avoid storing with sharp objects.
