What size should I choose if I'm between sizes?
Given the structured nature of the basque, if you are between sizes, it is often advisable to consider the larger size for comfort, especially if you prefer less restriction. However, refer to specific sizing charts if available.
Troubleshooting
Basque feels too tight or restrictive
Ensure the back fastenings are adjusted correctly. If discomfort persists, the boning may require a brief period of wear to soften, or consider if the size is appropriate.
Straps are not holding stockings securely
Check that the stocking tops are compatible with the suspender clips. Ensure the clips are fully closed and the straps are adjusted for optimal tension without over-stretching.
Lace is snagging or tearing
Handle with extreme care. Avoid catching the lace on jewellery, rough surfaces, or fingernails. Follow the hand-wash and air-dry instructions precisely.
Moulded cups are not fitting correctly
Ensure the basque is pulled up correctly so the cups align with the bust. Adjust shoulder straps if applicable. If the fit is significantly off, a different size may be needed.
