FAQs

What is Marquisette lace?

Marquisette is a type of lightweight, sheer fabric, often made of nylon or silk, known for its delicate and open weave. In this bra, it features a starburst lace pattern for an elegant look.

How do I know if I have the right band size?

The band should sit snugly and horizontally across your back, parallel to the cups. You should be able to fit two fingers comfortably underneath it. It provides most of the bra's support.

How do I know if I have the right cup size?

The cups should fully enclose your breasts without any spillage or gaping. There should be no wrinkling or pulling of the fabric.

Can this bra be worn under tight-fitting tops?

Yes, the lightly lined, moulded cups create a smooth silhouette that works well under most fitted clothing. The sheer lace is a decorative element.

How do I convert the straps to a cross-back style?

Typically, this involves unhooking one end of each strap and re-hooking them to designated points on the back wings to create a racerback or cross-back formation.

What does 'demi bra' mean?

A demi bra, also known as a half-cup bra, typically covers about half of the breast. It provides less coverage than a full-cup bra and often creates a lifted, cleavage-enhancing effect.

Is this bra suitable for everyday wear?

Yes, it is designed for comfort and support with its soft materials and adjustable features, making it suitable for daily wear, though the sheer lace adds a delicate touch.

Troubleshooting

Straps falling down

Ensure straps are adjusted correctly and not too loose. If the issue persists, the elastic may be worn out, and it might be time to replace the bra.

Underwire poking or discomfort

Check that the bra is the correct size and fit. Ensure the underwire casing is intact. If the underwire is damaged, the bra should be retired.

Lace snagging or tearing

Handle the bra with care, especially when putting it on or taking it off. Avoid contact with sharp objects or rough surfaces. Follow washing instructions carefully.

Band feels too loose or too tight

Adjust the hook-and-eye closure. If even the tightest hooks are too loose, the band size may be incorrect. If the loosest hooks are still too tight, consider a larger band size.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  • Do not bleach.
