Full details
The Curvy Kate Lifestyle Plunge Bra in rich plum purple is designed for adult women seeking a lightweight, breathable, and supportive plunge bra, particularly for larger cup sizes up to J.

FAQs
Is this bra suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, the Curvy Kate Lifestyle Plunge Bra is designed for everyday wear due to its lightweight, breathable, and supportive features. It offers comfort without sacrificing shape.
What is the benefit of a non-padded bra?
Non-padded bras offer a more natural feel and shape, are generally more breathable, and can be cooler to wear. They avoid adding bulk, creating a smooth silhouette.
How do I know if I have the right size?
A properly fitting bra should have a band that is snug and level, cups that fully contain your breasts without gapping or spilling, and straps that stay in place without digging in.
Can this bra be worn with very low-cut tops?
Yes, the plunge design features a low center gore, making it ideal for lower necklines and V-shaped tops.
What does 'underwired' mean?
Underwired means there is a thin, flexible wire sewn into the base of each cup. This wire helps to lift, separate, and support the breasts, providing shape and projection.
How do I wash this bra to ensure it lasts?
Hand wash or machine wash on a delicate cycle with mild detergent in cool water. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Lay flat to air dry, and do not tumble dry.
Does this bra offer a lot of lift?
Yes, the underwire and construction of this plunge bra are designed to provide significant lift and projection, especially beneficial for larger cup sizes.
Troubleshooting
Bra band riding up
Ensure the band is the correct size and sits parallel to the floor. Check that straps are adjusted properly and not overly tightened.
Straps digging into shoulders
Loosen the strap adjusters. The primary support should come from the band; if the band is too loose, straps will bear too much weight.
Spillage from cups
The cup size may be too small. Ensure your entire breast is contained within the cup, lifting from the underwire and sides.
Underwire discomfort
Ensure the bra is the correct size and fit. The underwire should sit flat against the ribcage. If discomfort persists, this style may not be suitable for your body shape.
