FAQs
What makes this bra suitable for fuller busts?
The Berlei Embrace bra features specially constructed cups designed for maximum forward projection and lift, along with side support elements to help center and shape fuller busts effectively.
Can I machine wash this bra?
No, this bra should only be hand washed. Machine washing can damage the delicate fabric and structural components.
Why should I not tumble dry this bra?
Tumble drying can expose the bra's straps and rings to excessive heat, which can cause them to become brittle, break, or lose their elasticity, compromising the bra's support and longevity.
What is the material composition of the bra?
The bra is made from 70% Polyamide, 17% Elastane, and 13% Polyester, exclusive of trims.
Does this bra come with a matching brief?
Yes, a co-ordinating brief is also available separately to complete the set.
How do I adjust the straps for optimal comfort?
Use the sliders on the adjustable straps to lengthen or shorten them until the bra feels secure and comfortable, with the straps sitting gently on your shoulders without digging in.
Is this bra suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, it is designed as an everyday smooth support bra with a touch of luxury, ideal for regular use when comfort and a smooth silhouette are desired.
Troubleshooting
Bra feels uncomfortable or digs in
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check that the straps are adjusted properly – not too tight or too loose. Make sure the band is sitting level on your back.
Straps are slipping
Adjust the strap length using the sliders. If the issue persists, the bra may be nearing the end of its lifespan or the size may not be optimal.
Underwire is poking or uncomfortable
This could indicate a size issue or that the bra has been damaged. Ensure the bra is not overstretched. If damage is visible, discontinue use.
Fabric loses its smoothness or shape after washing
Review the care instructions. Ensure you are hand washing with a mild detergent and air drying flat. Avoid harsh chemicals or aggressive washing techniques.
