FAQs

How does this bra reduce the appearance of the bust?

The bra features specially designed smooth, moulded cups and an underwire structure that work together to redistribute and support the bust, creating a visually reduced profile by up to one size without compression.

What material is the bra made from?

The bra is made from 62% Polyamide, 20% Elastane, and 18% Polyester (exclusive of trims).

Can I machine wash this bra?

No, the bra must be hand washed only. Machine washing or tumble drying can damage the fabric and structural components like the underwire and straps.

What is the best way to dry the bra?

After hand washing, gently squeeze out excess water without twisting. Reshape the bra while it is damp and lay it flat to dry, away from direct heat or sunlight.

Who is this bra best suited for?

This bra is ideal for women with fuller busts and larger back sizes who wish to reduce the appearance of their bust size for a smoother look under clothing.

Are the cups padded?

The bra features lightweight, non-padded cups that are smooth and moulded for a seamless finish.

What sizes are available?

This bra is available in various band and cup sizes, catering to fuller busts and larger back sizes, up to a 44G in some variants.

Troubleshooting

Straps digging in

Adjust the straps to a looser setting. Ensure the bra band is fitting correctly, as a loose band can cause straps to bear more weight.

Underwire discomfort

Ensure you have selected the correct cup size. If discomfort persists, consider a non-wired minimiser bra.

Bra losing shape after washing

Always follow the hand wash only and do not tumble dry instructions. Reshape the bra while damp and dry flat.
