Berlei Beauty Stripe Underwired Minimiser Bra - Blue - Striped

Measure your band size by wrapping a tape measure around your rib cage just under your bust, ensuring it's snug and level. Then, measure your cup size by wrapping the tape measure around the fullest part of your bust. Subtract the band measurement from the bust measurement to find your cup size (differences typically correspond to A, B, C, etc., cups). Consult the Berlei size chart for precise conversions.

A minimiser bra is designed to reduce the perceived size of the bust by up to one cup size. It achieves this through construction and cup shape that distribute breast tissue more evenly, creating a smoother, less projected appearance under clothing without flattening the breast uncomfortably.

No, the Berlei Beauty Stripe Underwired Minimiser Bra should only be hand washed. Machine washing, especially with heat or harsh cycles, can damage the delicate materials, underwire, and straps.

Tumble drying can severely damage the bra. The heat can melt or weaken the elastic, damage the underwire casing, and potentially shrink or warp the fabric, leading to a loss of support and shape.

Yes, this bra is designed for everyday wear. Its features like padded straps, supersoft lining, and supportive construction aim to provide comfort and functionality throughout the day.

The Beauty Stripe B541 bra is based on the popular B521 minimiser but features a striking bold striped mesh detail on the cups, offering a more decorative aesthetic while retaining the core minimizing and comfort features.

No, the underwire is integrated into the bra's construction for support and shaping. It cannot be removed.

Ensure the bra is the correct size and the straps are adjusted appropriately. If the issue persists, the bra may be too small in the band or cup, or the padding may not be sufficient for your needs.

Verify that the underwire channels are intact and that the bra size is correct. If the underwire casing is damaged, discontinue use. Consider trying a different style if underwire is consistently uncomfortable.

Check that the band is snug and level around your body, and that the cups are fully encompassing the breasts. Ensure the bra has not lost elasticity over time; older bras may need replacement.

The band is likely too loose. Ensure you are fastening the bra on the loosest hook initially; you can move to tighter hooks as the bra stretches. If it still rides up, a smaller band size may be needed.
