FAQs
What does 'non-padded' mean for this bra?
Non-padded means the cups do not have any extra foam or padding. This allows for a natural shape and feel, and the bra relies on its construction and fabric for support and shaping.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart or consult a professional bra fitter. Measure your band size (underbust) and cup size (overbust minus underbust).
Can I machine wash this bra?
No, this bra requires hand washing only to maintain its structure and delicate materials. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
What is the purpose of the laminated side support panel?
The laminated side support panel is designed to provide extra lift and forward projection, helping to shape the bust and prevent outward spreading, especially beneficial for fuller figures.
Is this bra suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, it is designed for everyday smooth support with a touch of luxury, suitable for daily activities. Its construction prioritizes comfort and support.
What is the material composition?
The bra is made from 70% Polyamide, 17% Elastane, and 13% Polyester, exclusive of trims.
Can I wear this bra under tight-fitting clothing?
The smooth fabric and non-padded design aim to create a smooth silhouette, making it generally suitable under many types of clothing. The embroidery is designed to be super flat.
Troubleshooting
Straps digging in
Adjust the bra straps to a looser setting. Ensure the bra band is sitting comfortably and not too tight.
Underwire discomfort
Ensure the bra is the correct size and the underwire is sitting flat against the rib cage. Re-adjust straps if needed.
Bra riding up
Check if the band size is correct; a band that is too large can cause it to ride up. Ensure the back closure is fastened securely.
Embroidery feels scratchy
Ensure the bra is washed according to instructions. Sometimes a slight stiffness from newness can be resolved with gentle washing. If persistent, consider this a design characteristic.
