FAQs
Is this bra suitable for daily wear?
Yes, the Berlei Beauty Stripe is designed as a robust, comfortable option for all-day support.
Does the bra add extra volume?
No, this is a non-padded, smoothing bra designed to minimize bulk rather than enhance it.
What is the primary material used?
The bra is constructed from a blend of 62% polyamide, 20% elastane, and 18% polyester.
Can I put this in the dryer?
No, machine drying can degrade the elasticity and distort the underwire; always air dry.
Is this bra specifically for fuller busts?
Yes, it is specifically engineered to provide superior support and shaping for fuller busts.
Troubleshooting
Straps digging into shoulders
Adjust the length of the straps to ensure even weight distribution; if they are fully adjusted, check that the band size is snug enough to provide support from the back rather than just the shoulders.
Underwire feels uncomfortable
Verify that you are wearing the correct cup size; underwire discomfort is frequently a sign that the cup is too small, causing the wire to sit on breast tissue rather than the rib cage.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent support for larger band and cup sizes

Cons

- Specific fabric blend requires careful maintenance
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your bra, always fasten the hook-and-eye closures before washing to prevent snagging on other garments. Use a delicate laundry bag if machine washing on a gentle cycle, though hand washing in cool water with a mild detergent is the recommended method to preserve the elasticity and underwire shape. Avoid bleaching or tumble drying, as the high heat can damage the polyamide and elastane fibers. Lay the bra flat to dry in the shade to maintain the structural integrity of the seamless cups.
