FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the High Apex design?

The High Apex design helps to create a lifted, rounded shape and a smooth line under clothing, minimizing bulges and creating a streamlined silhouette.

Is the padding in this bra significant?

No, this bra features light padding specifically for modesty and a smoother appearance. It does not add significant volume or push-up effect.

Can I machine wash this bra?

No, the bra must be hand washed only. Machine washing and tumble drying can damage the delicate materials and components.

What type of support does this bra offer?

It offers support through its underwired cups and adjustable straps, providing a comfortable and secure fit for everyday wear.

What is the Glossies fabric?

Glossies fabric is a signature Gossard material known for its smooth, sheer quality that lies flat against the skin, offering a sleek finish.

What occasions is this bra best suited for?

It is versatile enough for everyday wear due to its comfort and smooth finish, and also suitable for occasions where a feminine and sophisticated look is desired, especially under form-fitting clothing.

How should I care for my Gossard Glossies High Apex Bra to ensure its longevity?

Always hand wash in cool water and dry flat away from heat. Avoid tumble drying, harsh detergents, and wringing, as these can damage the fabric and underwire.

Troubleshooting

Bra feels uncomfortable or digs in

Ensure you are wearing the correct band and cup size. The band should sit snugly but comfortably on your ribcage, and the cups should fully contain the breast tissue without bulging or gaping.

Straps are visible under clothing

Adjust the straps to their lowest comfortable setting. If they are still too long, consider if the bra size is appropriate or if a different style with lower strap placement might be more suitable.

Fabric appears too sheer for intended outfit

The light padding offers some opacity. For complete coverage under very sheer or light-colored garments, consider wearing a tonal camisole underneath or opting for a bra with more substantial padding.
