FAQs
How do I ensure the best fit for this bra?
Measure your band size by wrapping a soft tape measure around your ribcage just under your bust. For your cup size, measure around the fullest part of your bust. There should be no gaps between the tape measure and your body for the band, and the tape should be snug but not tight. Compare these measurements to a bra sizing chart, or consult a professional fitter. Ensure the straps are adjusted correctly and the band sits level around your body.
Can I wear this bra under everyday clothing?
While the bra offers support, the prominent sequin embroidery might be visible under very thin or tight-fitting clothing. It is best suited for occasions or outfits where its decorative elements can be appreciated or are not meant to be hidden.
What does 'plunge' mean in bra terminology?
A plunge bra has cups cut lower in the center, creating a deep V-neckline. This design is ideal for low-cut tops and dresses, enhancing cleavage and providing a flattering silhouette without the bra showing.
How often should I hand wash this bra?
It is generally recommended to hand wash lingerie after every few wears, or more frequently if worn during strenuous activity or in warm weather. This helps maintain hygiene and preserve the delicate fabric and embellishments.
What materials is the bra made from?
The bra features embroidery made of 100% Polyester. The mesh is composed of 90% Polyamide and 10% Elastane. The cup lining is 100% Polyester, and the foam cup is 100% Polyurethane (excluding trims).
Can I use a washing machine, even on a delicate cycle?
No, it is strongly advised to only hand wash this bra. Machine washing, even on a delicate cycle, can be too harsh for the sequin embroidery, underwire, and other delicate components, potentially causing damage.
What is the benefit of the padded cups?
The padded cups provide additional shape, lift, and coverage. They can help create a smoother, fuller-looking bust line and offer a slightly more modest appearance compared to unpadded bras, while also enhancing the natural shape.
Troubleshooting
Straps digging in
Adjust the shoulder straps to a more comfortable length. Ensure the bra size is correct; too tight a band can cause straps to dig in.
Underwire poking through
This can happen with wear and tear. If the underwire casing is damaged, it's best to replace the bra to avoid discomfort or further damage to the fabric.
Sequin embroidery becoming loose
Handle the bra gently during washing and wear. If a sequin comes loose, it can sometimes be carefully reattached with a needle and thread, but avoid excessive force.
Bra losing its shape
Ensure the bra is dried flat and not folded or stored in a way that distorts the cups. Hand washing and avoiding harsh detergents helps maintain shape.
