FAQs
Is the Zen bralette suitable for larger busts?
Yes, the Zen bralette is designed with fuller busts in mind, offering dual cup sizing and a mono-wire illusion cradle for gentle support. However, individuals with very full busts may prefer additional support found in wired bras for high-impact activities.
Can I wear this bralette for exercise?
The Zen bralette is best suited for low-impact activities like yoga, walking, or general daily wear. It is not designed to provide the necessary support for high-impact sports.
What is the difference between dual cup sizing and standard sizing?
Dual cup sizing means a single size band (e.g., 30) covers a range of cup sizes (e.g., DD/E). This offers more flexibility and a forgiving fit compared to traditional, very specific band/cup sizing.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the Curvy Kate sizing guide. Measure your band size (underbust) and cup size (overbust). The dual sizing means you might fit into a range, so consider your preference for snugness.
Why should I hand wash and avoid the tumble dryer?
Hand washing with cool water and mild detergent helps preserve the fabric's softness and elasticity. Tumble drying, especially on heat, can damage the elastane fibers, cause shrinkage, and potentially melt or weaken the delicate parts like straps and rings.
Does the bralette have padding?
No, the Zen bralette is non-padded. It features double-layered cups for modesty and gentle shaping but does not add volume.
What is the 'mono-wire illusion cradle'?
This refers to a design element that mimics the function and shape of a wire cradle without using actual underwire. It provides a subtle structure and support to help maintain the bralette's shape and offer a smooth profile.
Troubleshooting
Bralette feels too loose or too tight.
Adjust the shoulder straps using the sliders. If the band feels too loose, ensure you are using the tightest hook setting. If it's still not fitting correctly, consider if a different band or cup size from the "Zen" range might be more suitable.
Straps are digging into shoulders.
Loosen the adjustable straps. Ensure the back band is sitting comfortably on your ribcage, as a well-fitting band will take most of the weight, reducing strain on the straps.
Fabric feels rough or loses its softness.
This can occur if the bralette was washed improperly. Ensure you are only hand washing with mild detergent and avoiding the tumble dryer. Air drying is crucial for maintaining fabric softness.
Underband is rolling up.
Make sure you have selected the correct band size. The underband is designed to sit flat and provide support; if it's rolling, the band may be too large or not sitting correctly on your ribcage.
