Product Information
Full details
The Elomi Cate Underwired Full Cup Banded Bra is designed for individuals seeking robust support, forward shaping, and an elegant aesthetic in their daily undergarments. Replacing the classic Caitlyn model, this bra excels at providing a lifted, sculpted look while maintaining comfort through its innovative side support panels and elasticated neck edge. Please note that due to the delicate embroidery and construction, this garment requires gentle hand washing to maintain its structural integrity and fabric quality over time.

FAQs
Is this bra machine washable?
No, this garment is recommended for hand wash only to protect the embroidery and the underwire shape.
What is the primary difference between the Cate and the older Caitlyn model?
The Cate is the modern successor to the Caitlyn, featuring updated geometric embroidery and refined construction for better support.
Does this bra provide a natural shape?
Yes, it is designed for a forward-facing, sculpted, and lifted shape rather than a flattened or minimized look.
Is the top cup transparent?
The top cup features openwork embroidery which is semi-transparent, adding an elegant, light look to the full-coverage design.
What is the function of the powernet back?
The powernet fabric provides extra tension and durability to the back band, ensuring the bra remains secure and supportive all day.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
The band should feel firm but comfortable on the loosest hook when new, and the wire should encompass the entire breast tissue without digging in.
Troubleshooting
Straps slipping off the shoulders
Adjust the strap sliders to ensure a snug fit; if they continue to slip, the band size may be too large.
Underwire digging into the ribs
Check that the band size is correct; an overly tight band can distort the wires.
Cup spillage or gaping
Ensure the breasts are properly positioned inside the cup after fastening. If spillage occurs, you may need a larger cup size.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longest lifespan for your Elomi Cate, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure the band sits horizontally across your back. If the center gore (the fabric between the cups) does not lay flat against your chest, consider adjusting your band or cup size.
- Straps: Adjust the straps while wearing the bra, but ensure they are not tightened to the point of digging into the shoulders.
- Care: This bra is strictly for hand wash only. Submerge in lukewarm water with a mild detergent, gently agitate, and rinse thoroughly. Avoid twisting or wringing the cups, as this can damage the underwire and shape.
- Drying: Lay the bra flat to air dry. Direct heat from radiators or tumble dryers will compromise the elastic fibers and the structure of the cups.
