FAQs

How do I know my correct size?

It is recommended to order your usual bra size as the Gossard Glossies High Apex Light Padded Bra is designed to be true to size. If unsure, measure your band and cup size using a professional fitting guide.

Can I machine wash this bra?

No, this bra must be hand washed only. Machine washing, especially in a tumble dryer, can damage the delicate fabric, underwire, and fittings.

What is the benefit of the light padding?

The light padding provides modesty, ensuring coverage and a smooth, opaque look under clothing without adding significant volume or push-up effect.

Is this bra suitable for larger cup sizes?

Yes, this bra offers supportive construction and is available in sizes that support up to a G cup, depending on the specific fabric composition for A-D and DD-G cups.

What does 'High Apex' refer to?

'High Apex' refers to the point where the strap meets the cup, creating a higher, more delicate line along the top of the cup, which is often visible and adds to the bra's aesthetic.

Does the gold logo plate tarnish?

The logo plate is a decorative element. While designed for durability, avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and harsh chemicals to maintain its finish. Hand washing and proper drying should prevent tarnishing.

Can I wear this bra with very low-cut tops?

Yes, the plunging shape and high apex neckline are designed to be flattering and can work well with many lower-cut outfits, offering a smooth line.

Troubleshooting

Bra feels uncomfortable or is digging in.

Ensure you have selected the correct band and cup size. Adjust the shoulder straps for a secure yet comfortable fit. Check that the underwire is positioned correctly around the breast tissue.

Visible bra lines under clothing.

Ensure the bra is smooth against the skin. The light padding and mesh fabric are designed for invisibility, but proper fit is crucial. Make sure the bra straps are not digging in or sitting too high.

Fabric feels rough or has lost its smoothness.

This may indicate improper washing. Always hand wash with a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can degrade the material.

Underwire is poking through the fabric.

This can happen with wear or if the bra has been put in a tumble dryer. If minor, carefully try to reposition the wire. If significant damage has occurred, it may be time to replace the bra.
