FAQs
What is the main advantage of the longline design?
The longline design extends lower than a traditional bra, offering enhanced support and a smoother silhouette under clothing by minimizing lines.
Is this bra suitable for high-impact activities?
This bra is designed for everyday comfort and light support. It is not recommended for high-impact activities.
How do I know if I have the right size?
A properly fitting bra should feel snug but not tight around the band. The cups should fully enclose your breast without spilling over or leaving gaps, and the straps should stay comfortably in place.
Can I wear this bra with a push-up effect?
This bra is lightly lined for shape and subtle lift, not for significant push-up enhancement.
What does 'balconette' mean in bra terms?
A balconette bra has cups that are cut horizontally, providing a more open neckline and lifting the breasts upwards and outwards for a balanced look.
How often should I replace my bra?
Bras typically last 6-12 months with regular wear and proper care, depending on frequency of use and washing habits. Look for signs of wear like stretched elastic or faded color.
Troubleshooting
Bra straps falling off shoulders.
Adjust the shoulder straps to a tighter setting. Ensure the bra band is fitting snugly around your ribcage.
Discomfort from the longline band.
Ensure you have selected the correct band size. Try adjusting the hook-and-eye closure to a slightly looser setting if needed.
Underwire poking through fabric.
This can sometimes occur with wear. Inspect the area and if possible, gently tuck the underwire back. If damage is significant, it may be time to replace the bra.
Fabric pilling after washing.
Follow care instructions carefully, especially regarding washing in a lingerie bag and avoiding harsh detergents or high heat drying.
