Berlei Beauty Stripe Underwired Minimiser Bra - Blue - Striped

The Berlei Beauty Stripe bra is designed with specific cup construction and a wider underband to distribute the breast tissue, reducing the appearance of bust size by up to one cup size without flattening the bust.

A well-fitting bra should have the band sitting snugly and level around your body, the cups should fully contain the breast without spilling or gaping, and the straps should stay comfortably on your shoulders without digging in.

Yes, the comfortable materials and supportive design make it suitable for everyday wear, provided it is cared for correctly according to the hand wash instructions.

The smooth, seamless cups make it ideal for wearing under t-shirts, blouses, fitted dresses, and other garments where you want a smooth, minimised silhouette and no visible bra lines.

The underwire provides structure and support. It should follow the natural curve of the breast and be comfortable. If it feels stiff, rigid, or is digging in, it may indicate an incorrect size or a need to adjust the bra's position.

Hand washing with a mild detergent is gentler on the delicate fabrics and elastics, preserving the bra's shape and lifespan. Tumble drying involves heat and agitation that can damage the underwire casing, straps, and elastic components, potentially leading to breakage or loss of support.

'Exclusive of trims' means that the stated percentages (e.g., 62% Polyamide) apply to the main fabric panels of the bra. It excludes decorative elements like lace, bows, or any non-fabric attachments from that specific percentage calculation.

Ensure the bra is the correct size by checking band and cup fit. Make sure the back clasp is fastened on the loosest setting initially, and adjust as needed. Ensure straps are adjusted correctly.

Adjust the strap length to distribute weight evenly. Ensure the bra band is providing the primary support, not the straps. If discomfort persists, the bra may be too small in the cup or band.

Check that the underwire casing is intact and not damaged. Ensure the bra is the correct size, as an ill-fitting bra can cause the underwire to shift. If the underwire is bent or broken, the bra may need replacement.

Ensure the smooth cups are correctly positioned. If the texture or pattern is still visible, consider layering with a slip or choosing a different undergarment for very fine fabrics.
