Product Information

Full details

The Curvy Kate Smoothie Lace Bra is designed for adult women seeking a comfortable, seamless, and naturally shaped everyday bra. Its key benefit lies in the innovative lace-moulded cups that offer a 'second skin' feel with excellent support and smooth lines under clothing. A potential caveat is that the underwire and balcony shape may not be suitable for all preferences, and care must be taken with washing to maintain the fabric's integrity. This bra features seamless moulded lace cups, an inner sling for side support, and fully adjustable straps, all crafted from a blend of polyamide and elastane for a smooth, comfortable fit.

FAQs

What makes the Smoothie Lace Bra 'seamless'?

The bra utilizes a unique lace-moulded cup technology. This process creates a smooth, one-piece cup from a lace fabric, eliminating traditional seams that can show through clothing.

How does the inner sling provide support?

The inner sling is an additional panel of fabric sewn inside the cup. It wraps around the side of the breast, offering extra support, helping to center the bust, and providing a natural forward projection.

What is the difference between the balcony and other bra shapes?

A balcony bra, also known as a demi-cup or half-cup bra, typically covers about half of the breast and lifts the bust upwards and outwards. This provides moderate coverage and creates a fuller cleavage.

Can I wear this bra under very sheer tops?

While the latte color is neutral, the lace texture might be visible under very sheer fabrics. It is best suited for opaque or lightly translucent materials.

How do I know if I have the right size?

A well-fitting bra should have the band sitting level and snug on your ribcage, the cups fully enclosing your breasts without spillage or gaping, and the underwire lying flat against your body. The straps should support without digging in.

What is the hook-and-eye count for different sizes?

Sizes 32-36 D-FF typically fasten with 2 hooks and 3 columns. All other sizes fasten with 3 hooks and 3 columns for added security and support.

Is this bra padded?

No, the Curvy Kate Smoothie Lace Bra is an underwired, non-padded cup design. The shaping comes from the moulded lace and the inner sling.

Troubleshooting

Straps dig into shoulders

Adjust the straps to a looser setting. Ensure the band is sitting correctly on your ribcage, as a tight band can cause straps to overtend.

Underwire pokes or feels uncomfortable

Ensure you have the correct band and cup size. If the underwire is still uncomfortable, this style may not be the best fit for your body shape. Check for any signs of damage to the underwire casing.

Bra doesn't feel supportive

Check that the band is fastened on the correct hook setting (start with the loosest). Ensure the cup is fully encompassing the breast tissue, and the inner sling is positioned correctly.

Lace appears to be stretching or losing shape

Follow the recommended hand-washing and flat-drying instructions carefully. Avoid harsh detergents or wringing the fabric.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a smooth, seamless look under tight clothing.
  • Offers excellent support and shaping due to the underwire and inner sling.
  • The lace-moulded fabric feels soft and comfortable, like a second skin.
  • Adjustable straps ensure a personalized and secure fit.
  • The neutral color is versatile for various outfits.

Cons

  • The underwire may be noticeable or uncomfortable for some individuals.
  • Balcony shape might not provide sufficient coverage for all preferences.
  • Requires specific care (hand wash recommended) to maintain fabric quality.
  • May not be ideal for very low-cut tops due to the balcony style.
  • As with all moulded bras, fit can be subjective and may require trying different sizes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This bra requires no setup beyond adjusting the straps to your preferred fit and fastening. The hook-and-eye closure at the back should be fastened on the loosest setting initially, adjusting tighter as the bra stretches over time.

Compatibility: The Smoothie Lace Bra is designed for everyday wear and is compatible with most clothing types, particularly those where a smooth finish is desired. It pairs well with fitted tops, blouses, and dresses.

Care Instructions: To maintain the quality and longevity of the bra:

  1. Washing: Hand wash is recommended using a mild detergent in cool water. Avoid machine washing.
  2. Drying: Gently squeeze out excess water and lay flat or hang to dry away from direct sunlight or heat.
  3. Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  4. Ironing: Do not iron.
  5. Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
