Product Information

Full details

The Karen Millen Gala Bra is designed for adult women seeking a seamless foundation for elegant attire. Its primary benefit is providing a smooth, undetectable silhouette under form-fitting clothing and sophisticated necklines. A potential caveat is its specialization, making it less ideal for everyday casual wear compared to more versatile bras. This strapless, sweetheart-cut bra features moulded cups for a rounded shape and is crafted from polyester for comfort and durability, making it a staple for occasions demanding refined support.

FAQs

What occasions is the Gala Bra best suited for?

The Gala Bra is specifically designed for formal occasions, such as weddings, black-tie events, and parties, where you need a smooth foundation for elegant necklines and form-fitting outfits.

Can I wear this bra for everyday use?

While comfortable, the Gala Bra's design is specialized for occasion wear. For everyday comfort and support, a bra with straps might be more suitable.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to the Karen Millen sizing guide for bras. Measure your band size and cup size accurately. If you are between sizes, it is often recommended to try both or size up for the band if it feels too tight.

What are the available colours?

The Karen Millen Gala Bra is available in classic Black and White options.

How do I care for the moulded cups?

To maintain the shape of the moulded cups, avoid harsh wringing or twisting. Lay the bra flat to dry and do not place heavy objects on top of it during drying.

Will this bra work with very low-cut dresses?

The sweetheart cut is designed to work with elegant necklines. For extremely low-cut styles, other specialized bra types might offer better coverage.

Troubleshooting

Bra is slipping down

Ensure the band is snug but not too tight. Check that the skin is dry and free of lotions or oils where the band sits. If the bra is old, the elastic may have lost its grip, and it might be time for a replacement.

Visible lines under clothing

Verify that you are using the correct size and that the cups are fully encompassing the breast tissue. Ensure the fabric of your outer garment is not too thin or clingy, which can accentuate any bra lines.

Cups feel too small or too large

This indicates an incorrect fit. Refer to the sizing guide and consider trying a different cup size. Minor adjustments might be possible with slight shifts in posture or breast tissue placement within the cup.
