FAQs

Is this bra suitable for larger busts?

The Gossard Glossies High Apex Bra is available in various sizes, including larger cup sizes like D, E, and F. However, the level of support and comfort can vary based on individual fit and preference.

Can I machine wash this bra?

No, this bra is recommended for hand-wash only. Machine washing, especially with heat, can damage the delicate fabric and underwire.

What does 'High Apex' mean for a bra style?

A 'High Apex' refers to the shape where the cup seam extends higher towards the shoulder strap. This design often provides a natural uplift and a sleek, modern silhouette.

How do I determine my correct bra size?

Accurate sizing is crucial. Measure your underbust (band size) and fullest part of your bust (cup size). Many brands provide sizing charts, or you can consult a professional bra fitter.

Is the light padding removable?

The product description indicates 'light padding' is a feature of the bra. It is not typically described as removable for this specific model. The padding is integrated for a smooth, opaque look.

What occasions is this bra best suited for?

This bra is ideal for everyday wear, especially under fitted clothing, sheer fabrics, or outfits where a smooth, seamless look is desired. Its design balances comfort with a feminine aesthetic.

Does the sheer neckline offer any support?

The sheer neckline is primarily a design element. The support comes from the underwire and the overall construction of the bra, including the fabric and straps.

Troubleshooting

Bra straps digging in

Adjust the strap length for a comfortable fit. Ensure the bra band is sitting correctly on your ribcage, as a band that is too loose can cause straps to dig in.

Underwire is uncomfortable or poking

Ensure you have the correct cup size. If the underwire feels like it is not sitting correctly, it may indicate a sizing issue. Gentle hand washing and proper drying can also help maintain the underwire's integrity.

Fabric appears sheerer than expected

The bra is designed with a sheer neckline and light padding. For a more opaque look, ensure the light padding is correctly positioned. If more opacity is needed, consider layering or choosing a different style.

Bra loses shape after washing

Ensure the bra is only hand-washed in cool water and laid flat to dry. Avoid wringing or stretching the fabric excessively during washing and drying.
