FAQs
Is this bra suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, the Berlei Embrace Side Support Bra is designed for everyday smooth support, offering comfort and reliability for fuller busts and larger back sizes.
What does 'side support' mean in a bra?
Side support refers to features within the bra, often panels or specific construction, that help to push the bust towards the front and center, providing uplift and a rounded shape while containing the bust from the sides.
Can I machine wash this bra?
No, this bra must be hand washed only. Machine washing or tumble drying can damage the materials and construction.
Why should I not tumble dry this bra?
Tumble drying can damage the bra's components, such as straps and rings, due to the heat and agitation. It can also cause shrinkage or damage to the fabric fibers.
What is the main benefit of non-padded cups?
Non-padded cups offer a more natural shape and feel, allowing the breasts to sit naturally without added volume. They are often preferred for a smoother, less bulky silhouette under clothing.
What material is this bra made of?
The bra is made from a blend of 70% Polyamide, 17% Polyester, and 13% Elastane, exclusive of trims.
Is this bra available in other colors?
While this specific guide focuses on the blue variant, the Berlei Embrace collection often comes in a range of colors such as beige and black, depending on availability.
Troubleshooting
Bra is uncomfortable or digging in.
Ensure you have the correct band and cup size. Adjust the straps to relieve pressure on the shoulders. Check that the underwire is positioned correctly around the breast tissue.
Straps are slipping.
Tighten the strap adjusters. Ensure the back band is firm enough, as a loose band can cause straps to slip. Make sure the bra is correctly fastened.
Poor support or shape.
Verify the band size is correct and snug. Ensure the cups are fully encompassing the breasts. The side support features need to sit correctly to provide uplift.
Fabric pilling or damage after washing.
Adhere strictly to the hand wash only and no tumble dry instructions. Use a mild detergent and avoid harsh rubbing.
