Product Information
Full details
The Elomi Cate Underwired Full Cup Banded Bra is designed for individuals seeking reliable support, forward projection, and a secure fit. As a successor to the popular Caitlyn model, this bra features a sophisticated three-piece cup construction and side support panels that offer excellent uplift and separation. While it excels in comfort through its elasticated neck edge and adjustable straps, users should note that the delicate embroidered materials require hand washing to maintain the integrity of the garment.

FAQs
Is the Elomi Cate bra machine washable?
No, this product is recommended for hand wash only to protect the delicate embroidery and underwire structure.
How does this compare to the older Elomi Caitlyn style?
The Cate was designed by Elomi as the direct replacement for the Caitlyn, offering similar fit mechanics but with updated, modern materials.
What is the benefit of the three-piece cup?
The three-piece cup creates a defined, forward-facing shape and provides more structural support than a single-piece molded cup.
Will the embroidery show through thin shirts?
The geometric embroidery is featured on the top cup. Depending on the thickness of your shirt, it may be slightly visible.
Are the straps textured?
Yes, the Cate features textured, fully adjustable straps designed to stay in place throughout the day.
Troubleshooting
Underwire digging into the ribs
Ensure the bra is correctly positioned at the inframammary fold and check that the band size is not too small.
Straps slipping off shoulders
Adjust the strap length using the sliders on the back and ensure the band is fastened on the correct hook setting.
Cup edge curling outward
This is often due to heat damage from tumble drying; ensure you are only air drying the garment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Elomi Cate bra, always fasten the hook-and-eye closure before storing. When putting the bra on, lean forward slightly to ensure the breasts are fully contained within the cups before adjusting the straps. Regarding care, this product is recommended for hand wash only. Use a mild detergent in cool water and gently massage the fabric. Avoid wringing the bra out, as this can distort the underwire; instead, lay it flat or hang it over a shower rail to dry away from direct heat sources. Avoid machine washing or using a tumble dryer, as these will degrade the embroidery and the elasticity of the band.
