Product Information

Full details

The Berlei Beauty Stripe Smoothing Bra is designed for adult women seeking stylish support, particularly those with fuller busts. Its key benefit is offering a comfortable, smoothing fit with attractive striped mesh detailing, a striking alternative to basic minimiser styles. A potential caveat is that while it offers good support, it is non-padded, which may not be preferred by everyone. This bra features underwired seamless cups, non-padded smoothing cups, reinforced padded straps, and adjustable straps for a customizable fit.

Troubleshooting

Straps digging into shoulders

Loosen the adjustable straps. Ensure the bra band is sitting correctly at the back.

Bra band riding up

The bra band may be too loose. Try fastening the bra on a tighter hook setting. Ensure you are wearing the correct band size.

Underwire discomfort

Ensure the underwire is correctly positioned around the breast tissue. If discomfort persists, the size or style may not be suitable.

Smoothing effect not as expected

Verify that the cups are fully encompassing the breast tissue and that the bra is fastened correctly. Ensure the correct cup size is being worn.
