FAQs
What does 'minimiser bra' mean?
A minimiser bra is designed to reduce the visual projection of the bust, making it appear smaller and creating a smoother silhouette under clothing. It does this through construction like moulded cups and a specific underwire placement, without flattening the bust uncomfortably.
How do I know if I have the right size?
A well-fitting bra should have the band sitting snugly and horizontally on your back, the cups should fully enclose your breasts without bulging or gapping, and the straps should stay in place without digging in or slipping. The underwire should lie flat against your ribcage.
Can I machine wash this bra?
No, this bra is hand wash only. Machine washing, especially with heat or agitation, can damage the delicate lace, underwire, and strap components.
Why should I avoid tumble drying?
The heat from a tumble dryer can damage the elasticity of the fabric, warp the underwire, and potentially melt or break plastic components like strap rings, compromising the bra's structure and longevity.
Is this bra suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, it is designed as a 'Beauty Everyday' bra. Its supportive features, comfortable straps, and smooth finish make it suitable for daily activities and professional attire.
What is the material composition?
The bra is made of 60% Polyamide, 22% Polyester, and 18% Elastane, exclusive of trims. It also features a super soft brushed cotton liner.
Will the lace show through thin tops?
The lace is designed to be smooth and is laminated in a soft brushed cotton liner, aiming for invisibility under clothing. However, with very thin or clingy fabrics, a slight texture might be visible.
Troubleshooting
Bra feels uncomfortable or digs in
Ensure the bra is the correct size. Adjust the straps and the hook-and-eye closure. Check that the underwire is sitting correctly against the body.
Straps are slipping
Adjust the straps to be tighter. Ensure the back band is snug and at the correct hook setting. If straps continue to slip, the bra may be worn out or the wrong size.
Lace feels scratchy
Ensure the bra has been washed according to instructions. The brushed cotton liner is designed for softness, but initial wear or improper washing might affect the feel. Hand washing can help soften the lace.
Bra is not providing enough support
Verify that the band is sitting level on your back and is snug. The cups should fully enclose the breast without gapping or spillage. Ensure straps are adjusted correctly.
