FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the underwire in this bra?

The classic underwires provide lift, separation, and reliable support, contributing to a comfortable and flattering shape.

Can I machine wash this bra?

While hand washing is recommended, you can machine wash it on a gentle cycle with cold water. Always use a lingerie bag and a mild detergent.

Is this bra padded?

No, this is a non-padded bra, designed to offer a natural shape and feel without added volume.

What is the fabric composition of the bra?

The bra is made from a blend of 85% polyamide and 15% elastane.

How do I know if I have the right size?

A properly fitting bra should have the band sitting parallel to your back, the cups fully enclosing the breast without spillage, and the straps should stay in place without digging in.

What does 'full cup' mean in bra terminology?

A full cup bra offers maximum coverage, enclosing the entire breast within the cup. This design typically provides higher support and containment.

Is this bra suitable for formal wear?

Yes, the elegant lace detailing and classic design make it suitable for formal wear, providing a smooth and supportive foundation under dresses and other formal attire.

Troubleshooting

Bra straps digging in

Ensure the bra is the correct size and the straps are adjusted properly. If the issue persists, the band size might be too large, causing the straps to bear too much weight.

Underwire poking or feeling uncomfortable

This can indicate an incorrect cup size (too small) or a bra that has been worn extensively and is showing signs of wear. Check the fit, and if the bra is older, consider replacement.

Lace snagging or tearing

Be cautious when wearing the bra around rough surfaces or jewelry. Follow the recommended gentle washing and drying procedures to prevent damage to the lace.

Band riding up

The band may be too loose. Ensure the band sits parallel to the floor and feels snug but comfortable. Adjusting to a smaller band size might be necessary.
