FAQs
What is the main benefit of the non-padded design?
The non-padded design provides a natural shape and feel, allowing for better breathability and a less bulky profile under clothing. It offers uplift and support without adding volume.
How do I know if I have the right size?
A well-fitting bra should have the band sitting level on your back, the cups fully enclosing your breast without gaping or spilling over, and the straps should stay in place without digging in. It's often recommended to get professionally measured.
Can I wear this bra with a t-shirt?
Yes, the smooth floral lace and scalloped edges are designed for discretion under clothing, including t-shirts. However, very thin or clingy t-shirts might show the lace texture.
What does 'plunge' mean in bra terminology?
A plunge bra has cups that are cut lower in the center, designed to work with low-cut or V-neck tops and dresses, creating a flattering cleavage without the bra being visible.
Why is hand washing so important for this bra?
The delicate lace, underwire casing, and elastic components can be easily damaged by the agitation and heat of a washing machine or tumble dryer. Hand washing ensures longevity and preserves the bra's shape and material integrity.
What material is the bra made of?
The bra is primarily made of 90% Polyamide and 10% Elastane, providing a balance of comfort, stretch, and durability.
Are there other colors available?
Based on the available information, this specific model is presented in Cobalt Blue. Please check the retailer's current listings for other color options if available.
Troubleshooting
Bra feels uncomfortable or digs in.
Ensure the straps are correctly adjusted and the band is not too tight. The hook and eye closure can be moved to a looser setting if needed. Check for any twisted straps or seams.
Straps are slipping.
Adjust the strap length using the sliders. If slipping persists, the straps may be at their maximum adjustment, or the bra may be too large in the cup or band size.
Lace appears through thin clothing.
While designed to be discreet, very thin or clingy fabrics might show lace texture. Consider wearing under smoother, thicker materials or shapewear for a completely seamless look.
Damage after washing.
Ensure you are strictly following the 'hand wash only' and 'do not tumble dry' instructions. Heat from tumble dryers can damage the elastic and components.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Washing: Hand wash only is recommended. Use lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Gently agitate the water and bra, avoiding harsh scrubbing.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly with cool water.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Gently squeeze out excess water, taking care not to wring. Lay flat on a clean towel or drying rack away from direct sunlight or heat. Ensure straps and rings are not damaged by heat.
- Materials: 90% Polyamide, 10% Elastane. Proper care will help preserve the integrity of the lace and elastic components.
