FAQs
Can I put this bra in the washing machine?
No, this product is recommended for hand wash only to prevent damage to the underwire and the delicate mesh trim.
Will this bra show through thin fabrics?
The bra is designed with a smooth finish specifically to provide a high-coverage look that is virtually invisible under most clothing.
How much will this bra reduce my bust size?
The Beauty Stripe Smoothing Bra is engineered to reduce the appearance of the bust by up to one full size.
Is this suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, it is designed for maximum support and comfort, making it ideal for daily use, especially for fuller busts.
What is the material composition?
It is made of 62% Polyamide, 20% Elastane, and 18% Polyester, excluding trims.
Can I tumble dry this bra?
Do not tumble dry. Heat from the dryer can damage the straps and rings, leading to premature breakage.
Troubleshooting
Underwire is digging into the ribcage
Ensure the band size is correct; an underwire that digs often indicates the band is riding up or the size is too loose, causing the wire to lose its proper placement.
Straps are slipping off the shoulders
Adjust the length of the rear straps and ensure the band is fastened on the correct hook; if the band is too loose, the straps lose their tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Berlei Beauty Stripe Smoothing Bra, always follow the care label instructions. Given the synthetic blend of polyamide, elastane, and polyester, you must hand wash the garment to protect the underwire and the integrity of the mesh. Do not tumble dry, as the heat can warp the elastic, damage the strap adjusters, and cause the rings to break. When storing, lay the bras flat or stack them in a way that avoids crushing the moulded cups, which helps maintain the intended shape of the minimiser profile.
