FAQs
What is the primary material of the Marseille Wired Basque?
The Marseille Wired Basque is primarily made from polyester, contributing to its smooth texture and elegant drape.
Can the suspender straps be removed?
Yes, the suspender straps are adjustable and can be detached if not needed, offering versatility in styling.
Is this basque suitable for everyday wear?
While designed for comfort, its intricate detail and 'designed to be seen' aesthetic make it more suited for special occasions or as a statement piece rather than for everyday standard wear.
How should I determine my correct size?
Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart and ensure accurate measurements of your band and cup size. Given the nature of the garment, precise fitting is important.
What type of bra support does this offer?
It features built-in underwiring for shaping and support, designed to create a flattering bust silhouette.
Can I wear this as outerwear?
Yes, the design intention is to blur the lines between lingerie and ready-to-wear, making it suitable for layering as a stylish statement piece.
What is the recommended cleaning method?
It is recommended to hand wash the basque in cold water with a mild detergent and lay it flat to air dry. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying.
Troubleshooting
Straps digging in or slipping
Readjust the shoulder straps to a comfortable tension. Ensure the band is sitting correctly at the back. If slipping persists, the garment may be too large.
Underwire feels uncomfortable
Ensure the correct size is being worn. The underwire should cup the breast tissue without digging into the skin. Minor adjustments to the fit of the band and straps may help.
Embroidery snagged or damaged
Handle with care during wear and washing. If a small snag occurs, attempt to gently smooth it back into place. For significant damage, professional repair might be necessary.
Basque not laying flat or feeling awkward
Check that all straps (shoulder and suspender) are adjusted correctly. Ensure the garment is the appropriate size and fit for your body shape.
