No, this model features non-padded, underwired cups to provide a natural, lifted shape.
You should only hand wash this garment in cool water. Do not tumble dry, bleach, or iron the fabric.
The hook count varies based on your size (2 hooks for smaller sizes, 3 hooks for larger sizes) to ensure the band remains stable and supportive regardless of the cup volume.
The main fabric is 89% Polyamide and 11% Elastane, with specific polyamide linings to ensure comfort and durability.
This is a fashion-forward balcony bra designed for everyday wear, not for high-impact sports. It will not provide the necessary compression for rigorous activities.
The side support panel helps to center the breast tissue, providing a more uplifted and forward-projecting shape while preventing the breasts from splaying toward the underarms.
Ensure the band is snug enough to carry most of the weight. If the band is too loose, your straps will compensate by bearing more weight than they are designed for.
This often indicates that the bra band is too small or the cup size is too shallow. Ensure you are 'swooping and scooping' all tissue into the cup to see if the fit improves.
Avoid washing with other garments that have hooks, zippers, or Velcro. Use a dedicated lingerie wash bag if absolutely necessary, but hand washing is strongly recommended to preserve the delicate lace.
To ensure the best fit, adjust the band and straps while standing in front of a mirror. Begin by hooking the bra on the loosest setting; if you find the band is too loose after a few wears, you can move to the tighter hooks. The Lovelace is a specialized piece of lingerie and requires specific care to prevent premature wear. Always hand wash in cool or lukewarm water using a mild detergent. Do not soak for extended periods. When drying, lay the bra flat on a towel in the shade to air dry. Crucially, never place this bra in a tumble dryer, as the heat will degrade the elasticity of the fabric and can snap the plastic adjusters or damage the underwire channels.
