Product Information
Full details
The Curvy Kate Lovelace Bra is designed for adults seeking a balance of support, comfort, and aesthetic elegance in their everyday intimate apparel. Featuring a 4-part cup construction with side support and a smooth, graphic floral lace, this bra offers a rounded, uplifted shape that is suitable for all-day wear; however, users should note that the delicate lace and underwire require careful hand washing and air drying to maintain their structural integrity.

FAQs
Can I put this bra in the washing machine?
No. The manufacturer strictly recommends hand washing to preserve the delicate lace and ensure the underwires and straps do not deform.
Does this bra have padding?
No, the Lovelace bra is non-padded and relies on its 4-part cup construction and side support panels for shape and projection.
Why are the straps different widths for different sizes?
Curvy Kate adjusts strap width (15mm, 18mm, or 22mm) to ensure that the support remains proportional to the cup and band size for optimal comfort.
Is the lace itchy?
The product features a smooth-touch floral lace designed for comfort, though individual sensitivities to materials may vary.
How should I store this bra?
Store it flat or nested with the cups inside one another to prevent the underwires from bending or the cups from creasing.
Is this suitable for a 'fuller' bust?
Yes, the side support and balcony shape are specifically designed to provide lift and coverage for fuller cup sizes.
Troubleshooting
Straps digging into shoulders
Ensure the back band is sitting horizontally across your back. If the band is riding up, it is too loose, forcing the straps to carry too much weight; try a smaller band size.
Lace appears wrinkled under clothing
This may indicate the top cup is too large for your breast tissue. Ensure the straps are adjusted properly to draw the lace flat against your skin.
Underwire feels uncomfortable
Check that the center gore (the piece between the cups) is sitting flush against your sternum. If it is hovering, the cup size may be too small.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent uplift and projection due to side support panels
- Non-padded design creates a natural, rounded shape
- Stretch lace top cup accommodates minor fluctuations in breast tissue
- Sophisticated floral aesthetic suitable for various occasions
Cons
- Requires hand washing to prevent damage to the delicate lace and hardware
- Not suitable for tumble drying
- Underwired construction may be less comfortable for those preferring wireless options
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Lovelace bra, proper care is essential. Always fasten the hooks before washing to prevent snagging on other fabrics. The garment must be hand washed in cool water; do not use a washing machine or tumble dryer, as the heat can degrade the elastic and warp the metal underwires or strap rings.
Regarding fit, remember that hook-and-eye configurations scale with your size: sizes 30-36 D-F feature a 2-hook, 3-column closure, while larger sizes provide a more robust 3-hook, 3-column configuration for enhanced stability. Always store your bras flat or nested to maintain the shape of the cups.
