Troubleshooting
Bra feels too tight or too loose
Adjust the hook-and-eye closure. If the issue persists, consider trying a different band or cup size.
Straps digging into shoulders
Ensure the bra is the correct size and adjust the straps to a comfortable, supportive length. The padded straps are designed to minimize this, but improper fit can still cause discomfort.
Underwire discomfort
Check that the underwire is sitting correctly in the channel and that the bra size is appropriate. If the underwire feels uncomfortable, it may indicate an incorrect fit or that this bra style is not suitable for your shape.
Fabric pilling or losing shape after washing
Follow the hand wash and dry flat instructions carefully. Avoid harsh detergents and never tumble dry.
