FAQs
What makes this bra suitable for fuller busts?
The bra features specially constructed cups designed to maximize forward projection and uplift, along with side support panels that help center and support the bust, providing enhanced comfort and shape for fuller figures.
Can I machine wash this bra?
No, this bra must be hand washed only. Machine washing and especially tumble drying can damage the fabric, straps, and underwire components.
What is the embroidery detail?
The bra features super flat opulent embroidery on the soft sheen fabric, adding a touch of luxury and a refined aesthetic.
How should I dry the bra after washing?
You should air dry the bra flat. Do not put it in a tumble dryer, as the heat can damage the straps and rings.
Is this bra padded?
The description mentions specially constructed cups that maximize forward projection and uplift, but does not explicitly state it is padded. It focuses on support and shape rather than added padding.
What kind of support does the 'Side Support' feature offer?
The side support feature is integrated into the bra's construction to help center the bust and provide additional uplift and stability from the sides, reducing outward gape and enhancing overall shape.
What are the main materials used in this bra?
The primary material mentioned is Polyester, combined with opulent embroidery for a luxurious finish.
Troubleshooting
Straps digging in
Ensure the straps are adjusted correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit. Check if the bra size is appropriate, as an incorrect band or cup size can cause strap discomfort.
Bra not providing enough support
Verify that the band is sitting comfortably on your back (not riding up) and that the cups are fully enclosing the breast tissue. Re-adjust the straps. An incorrect size is the most common cause of poor support.
Underband feels too tight
The band should feel firm but allow two fingers to fit underneath. If it's too tight, consider trying a larger band size. Ensure you are fastening the bra on the loosest hook initially, as it will stretch over time.
Fabric losing its sheen or shape after washing
Strictly adhere to the hand wash only and do not tumble dry instructions. Use only mild detergents and avoid wringing the fabric.
