Full details

Featuring vibrant floral embroidery on semi-sheer mesh, this bra provides a 'cakes-on-a-plate' cleavage effect through specialized vertical cup darts, making it an excellent choice for those who appreciate both functionality and style.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this bra suitable for daily wear?

Yes, its lightweight materials and supportive structure make it comfortable for all-day use.

Does this bra provide padding?

No, the Strawberry Crush is a non-padded, semi-sheer mesh bra designed to provide lift through structural darts rather than padding.

Can I machine wash this bra?

We strongly recommend hand washing to preserve the delicate floral embroidery and the integrity of the underwires.

How do I choose the right size?

We recommend measuring your ribcage for the band and the fullest part of your bust for the cup, then referencing the specific brand sizing guide for Curvy Kate.

Why does the closure have different hook counts?

The closure is designed with either 2 or 3 hooks based on the size to provide the necessary support and weight distribution for your specific band and cup measurements.

Troubleshooting

The underwire feels uncomfortable or pokes the skin

Ensure the bra is correctly sized; if the wire sits on breast tissue rather than the ribcage, you may need a larger cup size.

The straps keep slipping off the shoulders

Adjust the sliders on the back of the straps to shorten them, ensuring they are snug but not digging into your skin.

The mesh is snagging or pulling

Avoid contact with rough surfaces, jewelry, or sharp fingernails when handling the delicate fabric.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent uplift and shaping for the bust
  • Stylish floral embroidery adds a unique visual appeal
  • Straighter neckline is highly versatile for different outfit styles
  • Lightweight and breathable materials suitable for extended wear

Cons

  • Hand washing is strictly recommended to protect embroidery
  • Semi-sheer fabric offers less modesty than padded alternatives
  • Requires precise sizing to achieve the intended fit

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Curvy Kate bra maintains its structural support and embroidery quality, follow these guidelines:

  1. Fitting: Ensure the band is snug on the loosest hook to allow room for adjustment as the fabric relaxes over time.
  2. Fastening: The bra utilizes a 2-hook, 3-column system for most sizes, while larger sizes feature a 3-hook configuration for increased stability. Always hook from the back or twist into place.
  3. Washing: Hand wash only in cool water using a gentle lingerie detergent. Avoid wringing the cups, as this can damage the underwire and the embroidery.
  4. Drying: Air dry by laying the bra flat or hanging it by the center gore. Never use a tumble dryer, as high heat can destroy the elasticity of the straps and the delicate mesh.
