FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the Berlei Beauty Stripe Smoothing Bra?
The primary benefit is its minimiser design, which reduces the appearance of the bust by up to one size, combined with comfortable features like padded straps and soft lining.
Who is this bra best suited for?
It is best suited for individuals with fuller busts and larger back sizes, all the way up to a 44G, who are looking for support and a smoothing effect under clothing.
How does the minimiser feature work?
The construction of the cups and the overall design gently redistribute and contain the bust to create a visually smaller appearance, up to one cup size reduction.
Can this bra be worn under tight clothing?
Yes, the smooth, high-coverage cups are designed to be invisible under clothing, making it suitable for wearing with fitted garments.
What are the benefits of the wide padded straps?
The wide padded front straps are designed to distribute weight more evenly across the shoulders, reducing pressure points and the likelihood of red marks.
What is the material of the bra?
The bra features a striped mesh detail, with supersoft lining for comfort and a double-layered back wing for support. Specific fabric composition may vary but generally includes materials conducive to comfort and structure.
What is the recommended washing method?
It is recommended to hand wash or machine wash on a delicate cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid bleaching and tumble drying; lay flat to dry.
Troubleshooting
Straps digging in
Ensure the bra is the correct size and the straps are adjusted properly. The wide padded straps are designed for comfort, so significant digging may indicate an ill fit.
Band riding up
The band should sit firmly on the ribcage. If it rides up, the band may be too loose. Check if a smaller band size is available or ensure the bra is fastened on the loosest hooks initially.
Minimising effect not as expected
The minimiser effect is designed to reduce the appearance by up to one size. Individual results can vary based on natural shape and desired outcome. Ensure the cups are fully encompassing the breast tissue.
Discomfort under arms
Ensure the bra wings are sitting flat against the body and the underarm casing is not folded or twisted. Adjustment of the band and straps can help.
