Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Elomi Tiernie bra, proper care is essential. Given the intricate stretch lace and construction, hand washing in cool water with a gentle detergent is strongly recommended to maintain the fabric's elasticity and shape. Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach. After washing, gently squeeze out excess water and lay the garment flat to dry away from direct sunlight, which can degrade the elastic fibers.
Regarding compatibility, the bra is designed for a precise fit. Ensure that the underband sits level across your back and that the underwires follow the natural crease of your breasts without digging into the tissue. The adjustable straps allow for fine-tuning the lift; they should be snug but not pull the back band upward. If you are converting to the racerback style, adjust the straps to the desired length *before* hooking them together to avoid over-stretching the mechanism.
