FAQs
What makes this bra suitable for fuller busts?
The Berlei Embrace bra features specially constructed cups for maximum forward projection and uplift, along with side support panels, all designed to comfortably accommodate and support larger bust sizes.
How should I wash this bra?
This bra must be hand washed only in cool water with a mild detergent. Do not bleach, and dry flat. It is crucial not to tumble dry, as the heat can damage the bra's components.
Can I wear this bra with t-shirts?
Yes, the soft sheen fabric and smooth cup construction are designed to provide a seamless look under most clothing, including t-shirts.
What is the benefit of the side support feature?
The side support is specifically engineered to offer extra lift and forward projection, helping to shape the bust and create a more streamlined silhouette.
Are the straps adjustable?
Yes, the bra features fully adjustable supportive straps that can be customized for a comfortable and secure fit, designed to reduce red marks on the shoulders.
What materials is the bra made from?
The bra is primarily made from 70% Polyamide, 17% Elastane, and 13% Polyester.
What does 'underwired' mean for comfort?
Underwired bras have a wire casing sewn into the fabric below the cups. This provides structure, lift, and support. For some, the wire offers excellent shaping; for others, it may feel restrictive. This bra is designed for those who benefit from structured support.
Troubleshooting
Straps digging into shoulders
Adjust the bra straps to a looser setting. Ensure the bra band is sitting comfortably on your ribcage, as a well-fitted band reduces strain on the straps.
Bra band riding up
Check if the band size is correct. The band should be snug and parallel to the floor. You may need a smaller band size or tighter hook setting.
Underwire discomfort
Ensure the bra is the correct size and shape for your body. The underwire should cup the breast tissue smoothly without digging in. If discomfort persists, consider a non-underwired style.
Fabric losing its sheen or shape after washing
Follow the hand wash only and dry flat instructions carefully. Avoid harsh detergents and never tumble dry the bra.
