FAQs

What makes this bra a 'plunge' bra?

The Charley Plunge bra features a very low center front, designed to be worn with deep V-neck or plunging necklines without the bra being visible.

Does the 'underwired' aspect mean it's uncomfortable?

The underwire is designed to provide support and shape. While new bras can sometimes take a little time to break in, the construction aims for comfort alongside support.

How do I know if I have the correct band size?

The band should fit snugly and sit parallel to the floor all the way around. You should be able to fit two fingers comfortably underneath the band. The band provides about 80% of the bra's support.

Can I wear this bra with a racerback top?

Yes, this bra features a moveable J-hook at the back, allowing you to easily convert it into a racerback style for compatibility with racerback or tank tops.

What is the embroidery made of?

The top cup embroidery is made of 100% Polyester.

Why should I hand wash this bra?

Hand washing with a mild detergent is recommended to preserve the delicate materials, embroidery, and the integrity of the underwire and straps. Machine washing or tumble drying can cause damage.

What is the purpose of the side panel?

The side panel, along with the three-section cup, helps to pull the breast tissue towards the center, providing forward shape, good uplift, and separation.

Troubleshooting

Bra feels too tight or too loose around the band.

Ensure you are using the correct hook setting. If it's too tight on the loosest setting, consider a larger band size. If it's too loose even on the tightest setting, consider a smaller band size. Proper band fit is crucial for support.

Straps are digging in or falling down.

Adjust the strap length for a comfortable fit. Ensure the band is providing the primary support, not the straps. If straps continue to fall, check the J-hook setting or ensure the bra is not overstretched.

Cups are not fitting correctly (gaping or overflowing).

Verify you have the correct cup size. If there's gaping, the cup might be too large or your breast shape isn't filling it; try a smaller cup size or a different style. If there's overflowing, the cup may be too small; try a larger cup size.

Underwire is uncomfortable or poking.

Ensure the underwire channel is sitting correctly at the base of the breast tissue. Sometimes, a new bra requires a short break-in period. If discomfort persists, the underwire shape or size might not be suited to your anatomy.
