FAQs
How do I find my correct bra size?
To find your correct size, measure your underbust firmly for the band size, and then measure around the fullest part of your bust for the cup size. Consult a brand-specific sizing chart for an accurate fit. Remember that sizes can vary between brands.
Is this bra suitable for everyday wear?
While comfortable and supportive, its padded plunge design is particularly effective for enhancing cleavage under specific outfits. For everyday wear, personal preference regarding padding and plunge style will dictate its suitability.
Can I machine wash this bra?
No, hand washing is highly recommended to preserve the delicate floral embroidery, sheer mesh, and the integrity of the padding and underwire. Always use cool water and a mild detergent.
What kind of outfits does a plunge bra work best with?
A plunge bra is ideal for garments with low necklines, such as V-neck dresses, blouses, or tops, as the central part of the bra sits very low, allowing it to remain invisible.
Are there matching items available for this bra?
Yes, this bra is part of the Ann Summers 'Endless Attraction Collection.' Look for coordinating briefs or other lingerie pieces from the same collection to complete your set.
What is the material composition of this bra?
This bra is primarily made from Polyester, providing a smooth and durable finish. Specific blends for lace, mesh, and lining will also be present for comfort and design.
Troubleshooting
Bra band rides up at the back.
This usually means the band is too loose. Try fastening the bra on a tighter hook. If it's already on the tightest hook, you may need a smaller band size.
Straps dig into shoulders or slip off.
Adjust the strap length. If they dig in, loosen them. If they slip, tighten them. Ensure the band is providing most of the support, not the straps.
Cups gape or overflow.
If cups gape, the cup size may be too large. If they overflow, the cup size is likely too small. Ensure all breast tissue is scooped into the cups when putting on the bra.
Underwire pokes or feels uncomfortable.
Ensure the bra is correctly positioned and the underwire sits flat against your ribcage, not on breast tissue. If it still pokes, the cup shape or size might not be right for you, or the bra may be too old and the wire displaced.
Fabric loses its luster or shape after washing.
Always follow the care instructions precisely, especially hand washing in cool water and air drying. Harsh detergents or machine washing can damage delicate materials and embroidery.

Setup and First Use 1. Adjust Straps: Before wearing, adjust the shoulder straps to ensure they sit comfortably without digging into your shoulders. They should be snug enough to support, but not tight. 2. Position Cups: Lean forward slightly when putting on the bra to ensure your breast tissue is fully encompassed within the cups. 3. Fasten Band: Fasten the back band on the loosest hook initially. The band should sit firmly and horizontally across your back. If it rides up, the band might be too loose. ## Compatibility This plunge bra is designed to be worn with: - Low-cut tops and dresses: The plunge neckline allows it to remain discreet under deep V-necks. - Coordinating items: It is part of the 'Endless Attraction Collection' and can be paired with matching briefs or other lingerie pieces for a complete look. ## Care Instructions To maintain the beauty and longevity of your bra, follow these care guidelines, as it is made primarily from Polyester: - Hand Wash Recommended: Gently hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent. - Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or harsh stain removers. - Do Not Tumble Dry: Air dry by laying flat or hanging to drip dry.
