FAQs
What type of garments are these bra cups best for?
They are specifically designed for swimwear and structured dresses where support and shape are crucial.
Can I use these for everyday bras?
While they provide shape, they are optimized for the specific needs of swimwear and formal wear. For everyday bras, other types of bra cups might be more suitable.
How do I wash a garment with these bra cups?
Follow the care instructions of the main garment fabric. Generally, hand washing in cold water and air drying is recommended for items containing these cups.
Are these cups waterproof?
The polyester material is water-resistant and suitable for swimwear, but the cups themselves are not designed to be a primary waterproof barrier.
What does 'formed and stabilized' mean?
It means the cups are pre-shaped and reinforced to hold their form and provide a consistent, stable structure to the garment.
Can I cut or alter the bra cups?
It is not recommended to cut or alter the bra cups, as this can compromise their structure and stability, potentially affecting the garment's fit and appearance.
Troubleshooting
Cups are not sitting smoothly
Ensure the cups are properly pinned and basted before final sewing. Check for fabric tension issues in the garment around the cup area. Try adjusting the stitch length on your machine.
Cups feel too rigid
These cups are designed for structure. If a softer feel is desired, consider using a different product or integrating a softer lining material.
Stitching is visible on the outer garment
Use a thread color that matches your outer fabric. Consider using a finer needle and smaller stitch length for a less noticeable seam. Sewing from the inside of the garment can also help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These bra cups are designed to be sewn directly into garments. Position the cup within the garment pattern where desired, ensuring it lies flat against the fabric. Pin securely in place before stitching. It is recommended to baste them first to check placement and fit before final stitching.
Compatibility:
Compatible with most swimwear fabrics (e.g., nylon, spandex blends) and dressmaking materials. Ensure your sewing machine needle and thread are suitable for the main garment fabric.
Care:
Clean the finished garment according to its care instructions. Typically, hand washing in cold water with mild detergent and air drying is recommended for swimwear. Avoid harsh chemicals or high heat, which can damage the polyester material and affect the cup's integrity.
