FAQs
What makes this bra 'non-padded'?
The 'non-padded' designation means the bra cups do not have any extra foam or padding added. It relies on the construction of the fabric and underwire to shape and support the bust, offering a more natural feel and look.
Is this bra suitable for daily wear?
Yes, the Curvy Kate Lifestyle Plunge Bra is designed for everyday wear due to its lightweight and breathable materials, providing comfort and support throughout the day.
What does 'underwired' mean for comfort?
The underwire is a semi-circular strip of metal or plastic sewn into the fabric beneath each cup. It is designed to provide structure, lift, and support to the breasts. While some find it very comfortable and supportive, others may prefer wire-free options.
How does the 'plunge' style affect wearability?
A plunge bra has lower center gore and cups that are cut deeper, making it ideal for low-cut necklines. It offers a natural shape and good projection while being less visible under clothing with a lower front.
What is the benefit of the extended size range up to a J cup?
This means the bra is specifically designed and constructed to offer adequate support, lift, and comfort for larger cup sizes, ensuring a better fit and a more flattering appearance for those who typically struggle to find well-fitting bras.
How do I know if I have the right band size?
The band should feel snug but comfortable, sitting parallel to the ground all around your ribcage. You should be able to fit two fingers comfortably between the band and your back. The band provides the majority of the bra's support.
Can I wear this bra if I tend to get hot easily?
Yes, the bra is specifically designed with lightweight and breathable materials to help keep you cool and comfortable, making it a good option for those who tend to overheat.
Troubleshooting
Bra feels uncomfortable or digs in.
Ensure you are wearing the correct band and cup size. The band should sit snugly and level on your back. If the cups are too small, they may dig in. If the band is too loose, it won't offer proper support.
Straps are slipping.
Adjust the straps to a tighter setting. If slipping persists, check that the bra band is sitting correctly at the back; if the band is too loose, the straps will bear too much weight and slip. Ensure no fabric softener was used during washing, as this can make straps slippery.
Underwire is uncomfortable.
Ensure the underwire channels are sitting flat against your rib cage and not on breast tissue. If the underwire feels sharp or is poking, it may be bent or damaged, or the size may be incorrect. Consult the care instructions for proper handling.
Lack of support.
Verify the band size is correct and that the bra is fastened on the loosest hook initially (it will stretch over time). The cups should fully contain the breast tissue without gapping or overflowing. Ensure the bra is not old and worn out, as elasticity can degrade over time.
