Product Information
Full details
The Berlei Embrace Side Support Bra is designed specifically for women with fuller busts who seek reliable, everyday support combined with a touch of elegance. Its primary benefit is the specialized cup construction that promotes forward projection and uplift, creating a confident silhouette while minimizing side spill. While it offers excellent structure and premium design details, users should be aware that it requires dedicated hand washing to maintain the integrity of the fabric and hardware.

FAQs
Can I wash this bra in a washing machine?
No, this product is recommended for hand wash only to protect the delicate embroidery and hardware.
What should I do if my straps feel too tight?
Adjust the sliders on the back straps. If they are already at their maximum length, verify that your band size is providing the bulk of the support.
Is this bra suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, it is designed for everyday comfort and support, particularly for those with fuller busts.
Why is it important not to tumble dry?
Heat from a tumble dryer can cause the straps and plastic or metal rings to warp, break, or lose their elasticity.
How does the side support feature help me?
The side support pushes breast tissue toward the center of the chest, creating a more lifted and streamlined profile.
Is the fabric itchy due to the embroidery?
The embroidery is described as 'super flat,' meaning it is designed to lie against the skin comfortably without causing irritation.
Troubleshooting
Straps slipping off shoulders
Adjust the strap length using the sliders on the back and ensure the band is fastened on the correct hook-and-eye setting.
Wire digging into skin
Check that the bra size is correct and that the center gore is sitting flat against your sternum; if discomfort persists, you may need a different band size.
Visible lines under thin fabric
Ensure the embroidery is not bunching; the soft-sheen fabric is designed to be smooth, but correct sizing is required for the cup to lay completely flush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Berlei Embrace Side Support Bra, proper care is essential. Always fasten the hook-and-eye closures before washing to prevent snagging on other items. This garment is strictly for hand washing; using a machine can degrade the structure of the cups and compromise the specialized support wires. Never tumble dry this bra, as the heat can irreparably damage the elastic in the straps and the integrity of the hardware rings. After washing, gently squeeze out excess water—do not wring or twist the cups—and lay the bra flat or hang it by the gore (center bridge) to air dry away from direct sunlight.
