Berlei Beauty Stripe Smoothing Bra - Red - Striped

A minimiser bra is designed to redistribute breast tissue to make the bust appear smaller, typically by up to one cup size. It achieves this through its construction, including wider-set straps, fuller cups, and sometimes specific cup shaping.

A well-fitting bra should have the band sitting parallel to the floor on the loosest hooks, the center gore (the part between the cups) should lie flat against your sternum, straps should be comfortable without digging or slipping, and the cups should fully enclose the breast tissue without spillage or wrinkling.

No, the Berlei Beauty Stripe Smoothing Bra is strictly recommended for hand wash only. Machine washing and tumble drying can damage the delicate materials and structure.

Yes, the wide padded front straps are designed to distribute weight more evenly across the shoulders, significantly reducing pressure points and enhancing comfort, especially for those with heavier busts or during long wear periods.

The primary materials are 62% Polyamide, 20% Elastane, and 18% Polyester (exclusive of trims). The lining is a super soft cotton blend.

Yes, it is designed for everyday wear, offering support, comfort, and a smooth appearance under clothing. Its features make it practical for various daily activities.

Yes, the smooth moulded cups offer high coverage and are designed to be invisible under clothing, making it suitable for wearing under t-shirts and other fitted garments.

Adjust the strap length. Ensure the bra size is correct; if the band is too tight, straps may bear too much weight. Check that the padded area of the strap is correctly positioned on the shoulder.

The band may be too large. Try adjusting to a smaller band size or ensuring the current band is fastened on the tightest hooks if there is still some elasticity.

This can happen over time with wear and washing. Avoid harsh washing methods. If the wire has already poked through, it may require repair or replacement of the bra.

Ensure you have selected the correct cup size. If the cup is too small, it can bulge; if too large, it may wrinkle. The minimizing feature is inherent to the design and cups are shaped for a smooth appearance.
