FAQs
What is the primary material of this bra?
The bra is made from a blend of cotton and modal, providing a soft and breathable feel.
Is this bra suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, the comfortable fabric and supportive design make it well-suited for everyday wear.
What does 'longline' mean in the bra description?
A longline bra extends further down the torso, typically below the natural waistline, offering a modern silhouette and additional coverage compared to standard bras.
Does this bra have underwire?
This specific model is described as lightly lined and balconette style, which typically implies it does not have underwire, focusing on gentle shaping and support.
How do I determine my correct size?
Measure your band size (around your rib cage) and your cup size (the difference between your bust measurement and band measurement). Refer to Calvin Klein's sizing chart for precise guidance.
Can I machine wash this bra?
Yes, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. It's best to use a mesh laundry bag and avoid bleach and tumble drying.
What kind of support does this bra offer?
It offers gentle support and shaping due to its lightly lined balconette cups and comfortable fabric blend.
Troubleshooting
Bra feels too tight or loose
Adjust the hook-and-eye closure to a different setting. If it consistently feels uncomfortable, re-check your sizing or consider a different style.
Straps are digging in or slipping
Adjust the bra straps to your desired length. Ensure the bra band is sitting correctly on your ribcage, as a band that is too loose will cause straps to bear too much weight.
Fabric pilling or losing shape after washing
Ensure you are following the recommended gentle wash and lay-flat/hang-dry instructions. Avoid harsh detergents and high heat drying.
Underwire discomfort (if applicable to specific styles not detailed)
This style is described as lightly lined balconette, typically without underwire. If discomfort occurs, ensure the correct size is being worn and the bra is positioned properly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. It is recommended to place the bra in a mesh laundry bag to protect the fabric and hardware.
- Bleaching: Do not use bleach.
- Drying: Lay flat or hang to dry. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can damage the elastic and fabric.
