FAQs

How do I know if I have the right size?

The Berlei Beauty Stripe Minimiser Bra is generally true to size. Measure your band size and cup size according to standard bra fitting guides. For best results, consult the brand's specific sizing chart.

Can this bra be machine washed?

No, this bra must be hand washed only to preserve the integrity of the materials and construction, especially the straps and rings.

What does 'minimiser bra' mean?

A minimiser bra is designed to reduce the apparent size of the bust by up to one cup size, creating a smoother silhouette under clothing without compressing the bust uncomfortably.

Are the cups padded?

The Berlei Beauty Stripe Minimiser Bra features smooth moulded cups that are non-padded, designed for comfort and a seamless finish under clothing.

Can I wear this bra under a t-shirt?

Yes, the smooth moulded cups are designed to be invisible under clothing, making it suitable for wearing under t-shirts and other form-fitting garments.

What material is this bra made of?

The bra is made from 62% Polyamide, 20% Elastane, and 18% Polyester (exclusive of trims).

Is there a matching brief available?

Yes, matching Control Briefs are available separately. You can search for item U394L.

Troubleshooting

Bra straps digging in

Ensure the bra is the correct size and the straps are adjusted properly. If discomfort persists, consider trying a different size or style.

Underwire poking or discomfort

Verify the bra size is correct, as an ill-fitting bra can cause the underwire to shift. If the issue is with the fabric or construction, consider a different product.

Cups not providing desired coverage

Ensure the bra is fitted correctly. The minimiser function is designed to reduce appearance, not necessarily to increase coverage beyond a standard bra.

Mesh detail irritating skin

While the mesh is designed to be part of the aesthetic, if it causes irritation, ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions. If irritation persists, this style may not be suitable.
