FAQs
Can I put this bra in the washing machine?
No, the Lovelace bra is designed for hand wash only to protect the delicate lace and the structural integrity of the underwire and straps.
What is the benefit of the side support panel?
The side support panel helps to project the bust forward and keep it centered, creating a more lifted and streamlined silhouette.
Does this bra have padding?
No, this is a non-padded balcony bra that relies on cut-and-sew construction for shaping.
How many hooks does the back closure have?
Sizes 30-36 D-F feature a 2-hook, 3-column closure. All other sizes feature a 3-hook closure for additional support.
Is the lace fabric itchy?
The Lovelace collection features a smooth-touch stretch lace specifically chosen for all-day comfort and skin-friendly wear.
Why shouldn't I tumble dry this bra?
High heat from a tumble dryer can damage the plastic rings, adjusters, and the elastic fibers in the wings and straps, leading to premature breakage.
Troubleshooting
Straps slipping off the shoulders
Adjust the straps using the sliding hardware at the back to tighten them until they sit securely without digging into your skin.
Underwire digging into the ribs
Ensure the band is sitting horizontally across your back. If the band is too loose, the wires may tilt and press into the body.
Lace appears to be fraying
This is often caused by machine washing or contact with rough surfaces. Ensure you only hand wash and use a lingerie bag if storing near abrasive items.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Lovelace bra, proper care is essential.
Care Instructions:
Always hand wash in cool water.
Do not use a tumble dryer; heat will compromise the elasticity of the straps and cause the hardware to break.
Lay flat to dry away from direct heat sources.
Compatibility & Sizing:
The bra utilizes a varied hook-and-eye system: sizes 30-36 D-F use 2 hooks and 3 columns, while all other sizes use 3 hooks for added support.
Ensure you measure your band and cup size regularly, as internal padding and wire structure rely on a firm band placement for optimal support.
