FAQs
Can I put this bra in the washing machine?
No, it is recommended to hand wash only to protect the underwire and mesh straps from damage.
Does this bra offer push-up support?
No, this is a minimiser bra designed to reduce the appearance of the bust size, not to enhance or push up.
Is the material breathable?
Yes, the bra features mesh stripe details and a soft lining that promotes comfort, though it is primarily constructed from polyester, polyamide, and elastane.
Are there matching briefs available?
Yes, matching Control Briefs are available and can be purchased separately.
Will the straps stay in place?
The wide padded straps are designed to stay secure on the shoulders and prevent the discomfort of digging or slipping.
How much does this bra minimise my bust?
It is designed to minimise the appearance of your bust by up to one cup size.
Troubleshooting
Straps digging into shoulders
Adjust the length of the padded straps to ensure even weight distribution and check that the band is tight enough to provide support from below.
Underwire poking or uncomfortable
Ensure the bra size is correct and that the center gore is sitting flat against your chest bone; if the wire is bent, discontinue use.
Fabric looking worn after washing
Ensure you are strictly hand washing the item and avoiding harsh laundry detergents or machine agitation cycles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure the underwire rests flat against your sternum and the band remains parallel to the floor around your ribcage. To maintain the elasticity and shape of the bra, hand wash only in cool water using a gentle detergent. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric. Never use a tumble dryer, as high heat will damage the rings, straps, and delicate mesh components. Air dry flat in the shade to prevent fading and material degradation. Matching control briefs can be purchased separately to complete the set.
