FAQs
How do I determine my correct bra size?
We recommend measuring your band size just below your bust and your cup size around the fullest part of your bust. Compare these measurements to the Ann Summers sizing chart available on their website for the most accurate fit.
Can I machine wash this bra?
No, due to the delicate floral embroidery, sheer mesh, padding, and gold-tone hardware, hand washing is strongly recommended to preserve the bra's shape and integrity.
What does 'plunge bra' mean?
A plunge bra features a deep V-neckline in the center, designed to sit low between the breasts. This style is ideal for wearing with low-cut tops and dresses, creating a flattering cleavage without the bra showing.
Is this bra suitable for daily wear?
Yes, while beautiful enough for special occasions, this bra is designed for comfort and support, making it suitable for daily wear. Proper care and rotation with other bras will extend its lifespan.
What material is the bra made from?
This particular Ann Summers Endless Attraction Padded Plunge Bra is crafted from Linen, offering a luxurious feel. Please note that material composition may vary slightly across different color or size variants, where Polyester may be used.
How should I store my bra to maintain its shape?
Store your bra by laying it flat or stacking bras one behind the other to help maintain the shape of the cups. Avoid folding the cups inwards, as this can create permanent creases and damage the padding.
Troubleshooting
Bra feels uncomfortable or digs into skin
Check your band size; it might be too tight. Ensure the underband is level across your back. Readjust shoulder straps to relieve pressure, ensuring they are not too tight.
Cups gape or wrinkle
This usually indicates the cup size is too large. Try a smaller cup size. Ensure you've 'scooped and swooped' all breast tissue into the cups for a proper fill.
Underwire pokes or digs in
If the underwire pokes at the sides, the cup might be too small. If it digs into your breast tissue at the center, the band might be too loose or the cup too small. If the wire has broken through fabric, the bra is likely at the end of its lifespan and should be replaced.
Straps slip off shoulders
Tighten the shoulder straps. If they continue to slip, the band might be too loose, or you may have narrow shoulders. Consider a bra with a different strap design or one that offers J-hook versatility.
Bra rides up in the back
This is a sign that your band is too loose. Try fastening the bra on a tighter hook or consider a smaller band size. The majority of support comes from the band, so it needs to be snug.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions To get the most from your Ann Summers Endless Attraction Padded Plunge Bra, proper setup, understanding its compatibility, and diligent care are essential. ### Setup & Sizing 1. Measure Accurately: Before purchasing, ensure you have your current band and cup size measurements. Ann Summers provides a sizing guide on their website; refer to this for the best fit. 2. Adjust Band First: When trying on, fasten the bra on the loosest hook. The band should feel snug but comfortable, sitting horizontally across your back without riding up. 3. Scoop and Swoop: Lean forward slightly and scoop your breast tissue from under your armpit and lower chest into the cups. 4. Adjust Straps: Adjust the shoulder straps so they feel supportive without digging into your shoulders. The straps provide lift, but the primary support should come from the band. ### Compatibility This bra is designed for versatility under various necklines due to its plunge style. It pairs perfectly with matching items from the Endless Attraction Collection for a complete lingerie look. Its specific material is Linen for this variant, though other variants may use Polyester. ### Care & Maintenance To ensure the longevity and beauty of your bra, follow these care instructions: 1. Hand Wash Only: Due to the delicate floral embroidery, sheer mesh, padding, and gold-tone hardware, hand washing is strongly recommended. Use a mild detergent in cool water. 2. Avoid Bleach: Never use bleach or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the fabric and detailing. 3. Gentle Squeeze: Gently squeeze out excess water. Do not wring or twist the bra, as this can distort the cups and underwire. 4. Air Dry Flat: Reshape the cups and lay the bra flat on a clean, dry towel or hang it over a drying rack. Avoid direct sunlight or high heat, which can degrade elastic and fabric. 5. Store Properly: Store bras flat or stacked to maintain cup shape. Avoid folding cups inwards, which can create permanent creases.
