FAQs

Is this bra suitable for very large busts?

Yes, this bra is specifically designed with fuller busts and larger back sizes in mind, featuring specially constructed cups for enhanced projection and uplift.

Can I machine wash this bra?

No, it is recommended to hand wash the bra only. Machine washing can damage the delicate fabric and components.

Can I put this bra in the tumble dryer?

Absolutely not. Tumble drying can damage the straps and rings, potentially causing them to break. Always air dry.

What does 'side support' mean in the product name?

Side support refers to additional fabric or construction on the sides of the cups and band that helps to draw the bust forward and toward the center, creating a more projected and centered shape.

What is the main benefit of the non-padded cups?

Non-padded cups offer a natural feel and shape, and they are often more breathable than padded styles. They rely on the bra's structure for support and shaping.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The band should fit snugly but comfortably on the loosest hook, the cups should fully enclose the breast without gaping or spilling over, and the straps should stay in place without digging in.

What is the 'soft sheen fabric'?

This refers to a fabric finish that has a subtle luster or slight shine, adding to the luxurious aesthetic of the bra without being overly glossy.

Troubleshooting

Straps digging in

Adjust the straps to a more comfortable, less tight setting. Ensure the bra band is fitting correctly at the loosest hook to provide adequate support without overtightening the straps.

Underwire discomfort

Check that the underwire casing is intact and not poking through the fabric. Ensure the correct cup size is being worn, as a cup that is too small can cause the underwire to sit incorrectly.

Bra not providing enough support

Ensure the bra is fastened on the correct hook (usually the loosest for a new bra). If it's an older bra, it may have lost elasticity. Check that the band size is appropriate, as the band provides the majority of the support.

Fabric losing shape or elasticity

Follow the care instructions precisely. Hand wash and avoid machine washing, harsh detergents, and tumble drying, which can degrade the fabric over time.
