FAQs
Is the Karen Millen Gala Bra suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, the soft polyamide fabric and minimal construction are designed for comfort throughout the day, especially when worn under suitable garments.
Can this bra be worn with a low-back dress?
The Gala Bra is strapless and does not feature a low-back design. It is best suited for outfits with standard or open necklines, but not open backs.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the brand's sizing guide. It is recommended to measure your band and cup size. For this strapless style, ensuring a snug band fit is particularly important.
What is the material of the Gala Bra?
The Gala Bra is crafted from soft polyamide, providing a smooth, second-skin finish.
Can I machine wash the Gala Bra?
It is recommended to hand wash the Gala Bra in cool water with a mild detergent to preserve its shape and fabric integrity. Avoid machine washing and tumble drying.
Will the moulded cups add significant volume?
The moulded cups are designed to provide a smooth, rounded shape and moderate definition, rather than adding significant volume. The focus is on a seamless silhouette.
What kind of support does this bra offer?
The Gala Bra offers support primarily through its well-fitted band and moulded cups. It is designed for moderate support suitable for less active wear.
Troubleshooting
Bra straps show with strapless top
Ensure the bra is pulled up fully and adjusted to sit snugly under the bust. For very low necklines, consider an alternative bra style if this persists.
Discomfort or digging in
This usually indicates an incorrect size. Try a different cup or band size. Ensure the bra is sitting smoothly against the skin without being too tight.
Lack of support
Verify that the correct size has been chosen. The bra relies on a snug band for support. If you require significant support for larger busts, this style might not be sufficient.
Visible lines under clothing
Ensure the moulded cups are lying flat against the skin and that the band is positioned correctly. Smooth the fabric over the cups if necessary.
