FAQs
What makes this bra suitable for fuller busts?
The Berlei Embrace bra features specially constructed cups designed to maximize forward projection and uplift, combined with a robust band and supportive straps, offering enhanced support specifically for fuller figures.
How should I care for my Berlei Embrace bra?
It is essential to hand wash the bra in cool water with a mild detergent. Do not tumble dry; instead, lay it flat or hang it to air dry away from direct heat to preserve the integrity of the fabric and components.
Can I wear this bra under tight-fitting clothing?
Yes, the smooth fabric and specially constructed cups are designed to provide a smooth, seamless look under clothing, making it suitable for wear with fitted garments.
What is the main benefit of the side support design?
The side support design helps to gently draw the breast tissue towards the center, enhancing forward projection and providing a more rounded and uplifted shape, while also offering containment.
Is this bra underwired?
Yes, this model is an underwired bra, providing additional support and shape.
What materials are used in this bra?
The bra is made from a blend of 70% Polyamide, 17% Elastane, and 13% Polyester, chosen for their supportive qualities and comfortable feel.
What does the 'Embrace' name signify?
The 'Embrace' name likely refers to the bra's function of comfortably encasing and supporting the bust, providing a secure and uplifting fit.
Troubleshooting
Bra feels uncomfortable or is digging in.
Ensure you have selected the correct band and cup size. The band should sit comfortably level on your back. Adjust the straps to the right length – they should not be too tight or too loose.
Straps are slipping off the shoulders.
Adjust the strap length. If the issue persists, the bra may be too large in the cup, or the straps may need further adjustment. Ensure the back band is in the correct position.
Breast tissue is spilling out of the cups.
This indicates the cup size may be too small. Try a larger cup size in the same band size. Ensure you are leaning forward when putting on the bra to allow all breast tissue to sit within the cups.
Bra does not feel supportive enough.
Check that the band is fitted correctly and providing the primary support. Ensure the straps are adjusted properly. If the bra is old, the elastic may have lost its elasticity, and it may be time for a replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Washing: Hand wash only. Use a mild detergent in cool or lukewarm water.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay flat or hang to air dry away from direct heat. This is crucial as heat from a tumble dryer can damage the elastic and plastic components of the straps and underband.
- Avoid Bleach: Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the fabric and elastic.
- Ironing: Do not iron.
