FAQs
Is this bra suitable for a very large bust?
Yes, this bra is specifically designed to offer support for fuller busts and larger back sizes, providing excellent uplift and projection.
Can I machine wash this bra?
No, this bra should only be hand washed in cool or lukewarm water with a mild detergent. Machine washing can damage the fabric and construction.
What is the main benefit of the side support feature?
The side support feature helps to centre the bust, reduce outward spread, and provide a smoother, more rounded shape under clothing.
Why should I avoid tumble drying?
Tumble drying can generate heat that damages the bra's components, including the underwire casing, adjustable straps, and metal charms, compromising the bra's integrity and fit.
Is the bra padded?
No, this is a non-padded bra, designed to offer support and shaping without added padding, providing a natural feel.
What material is the bra made from?
The bra is composed of 70% Polyamide, 17% Elastane, and 13% Polyester, offering a blend of durability, stretch, and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Straps digging in or slipping
Adjust the straps to the correct length. If straps continue to slip, check if the bra band is sitting correctly on your ribcage or consider if a different size is needed.
Underwire feels uncomfortable
Ensure the underwire casing is sitting correctly in the bra's natural crease. If discomfort persists, the bra size or shape might not be suitable for your body. Consult the sizing guide or try a different style.
Bra band riding up
The band may be too large. Ensure the band is snug but comfortable around your ribcage. The back closure should be on the loosest hook initially, allowing for adjustment as the bra stretches over time.
Embroidery snagged or damaged
Handle the bra with care to avoid snagging the delicate embroidery. If a thread is pulled, do not cut it; try to gently tuck it back in. Avoid washing with abrasive materials.
