FAQs
Is this bra suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, the Curvy Kate Enclose bra is designed for both everyday wear and special occasions, offering good support and a comfortable fit when correctly sized.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the brand's sizing guide. It is recommended to measure your band size and cup size accurately. For this specific bra, ensure the underwire sits snugly around your breast tissue.
Can the harness details be removed?
The harness details are integrated into the design and are not typically removable. They are part of the bra's overall aesthetic and support structure.
What kind of bra shape does this provide?
This is a balcony style bra with side support, offering a full cup shape with uplift and centering of the bust.
How should I clean the faux leather material?
The entire bra should be hand washed only. Use a mild detergent and cool water. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, which can damage the faux leather and other materials.
Will the faux leather be hot or uncomfortable?
The faux leather is used for the cups, which are non-padded. The internal construction and mesh wings are designed for breathability, but comfort can vary based on individual sensitivity and climate.
What is the 'Oxblood' color?
Oxblood is a deep, rich shade of red, often described as a dark wine or burgundy color.
Troubleshooting
Bra straps digging in
Adjust the over-cup strapping to a looser setting or ensure the band size is correct. Check that the shoulder straps are not over-tightened.
Underwire discomfort
Ensure the bra size is correct, particularly the band and cup fit. The underwire should sit smoothly against the ribcage and around the breast tissue.
Faux leather creasing or damage
Avoid harsh folding or ironing. Store the bra flat or hanging. If minor creasing occurs, gentle steaming from a distance may help, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
Color transfer from faux leather
Hand wash separately or with similar dark colors. Avoid prolonged contact with lighter fabrics, especially when wet.
