Product Information
Full details
The Curvy Kate Zen Non-Wired Bralette is designed for adult women seeking all-day comfort and a modern, inclusive fit, especially those with fuller busts. Its key benefit is the buttery-soft fabric and supportive design that offers gentle shaping without padding. A potential caveat is that it requires hand washing to maintain its integrity. This bralette features dual cup sizing, double-layer cups for shaping, a mono-wire illusion cradle for support, and a soft ribbed underband for stability, making it a versatile choice for lounging, layering, or everyday wear.

FAQs
What is dual cup sizing?
Dual cup sizing means each bra size covers a range of two cup sizes (e.g., G/GG). This provides a more flexible and adaptable fit for different bust shapes within that range.
Can I wear this bralette for exercise?
The Zen bralette is designed for comfort and light support, making it suitable for lounging, everyday wear, and very light activities like gentle yoga. It is not recommended for high-impact exercise.
How do I know if I have the right size?
A well-fitting bralette should feel snug but comfortable. The underband should stay in place without digging in, and the cups should fully contain the breast tissue without spillage. Straps should provide lift without digging into your shoulders.
Why should I hand wash this bralette?
Hand washing in cool water is recommended to preserve the delicate fabric and elastic components. Machine washing or tumble drying can damage the material, causing it to lose shape, elasticity, or the straps and rings to break.
What does 'mono-wire illusion cradle' mean?
This refers to a design element that provides some of the shaping and support typically offered by an underwire, but without a rigid wire. It's a flexible cradle designed to enhance fit and comfort.
Is this bralette padded?
No, the Zen bralette is non-padded. It features double-layer cups that provide shaping and opacity without adding extra padding.
What is the difference between this and a wired bra?
This is a non-wired bralette, meaning it lacks a rigid underwire. It offers a softer, more flexible feel and is generally less structured than a traditional wired bra, prioritizing comfort and a natural shape.
Troubleshooting
Straps keep slipping down.
Ensure the straps are adjusted to the correct length. If they continue to slip, the fabric may have lost some elasticity over time or the initial fit might be too loose. Try adjusting to the tightest comfortable setting.
Underband feels too tight or too loose.
Adjust the hook-and-eye closure to a different setting. If it's consistently uncomfortable on all settings, the band size may not be correct for you. Consider trying a different band size.
Cups feel unsupportive.
Ensure you have selected the correct dual cup size. The Zen bralette offers gentle support; for more support, consider a wired bra style. Check that the 'mono-wire illusion cradle' is positioned correctly under the breast.
Fabric pilling or losing softness.
This can occur with frequent washing or improper care. Adhere strictly to hand washing and air drying instructions. Avoid harsh detergents or excessive rubbing.
