Product Information

Full details

This guide is for women seeking a comfortable, supportive, and elegant demi bra for everyday wear. The key benefit is its blend of soft cotton material with a lightly lined, molded cup design that offers a flattering silhouette and optimal fit. A potential consideration is that while versatile, it's designed for daily comfort rather than high-impact activities. It features adjustable straps, a classic hook-and-eye closure, and a minimalist Calvin Klein aesthetic.

FAQs

What makes this a 'demi' bra?

A demi bra typically covers about half to three-quarters of the breast, offering less coverage than a full cup bra but providing a natural lift and shape. It's often designed to be visible above the neckline of lower-cut tops.

Is this bra suitable for everyday wear?

Yes, the Marquisette Lightly Lined Demi Bra is designed with comfort and support for everyday wear, featuring soft materials and a practical design.

Can I wear this bra with a white t-shirt?

The black colorway might be visible under a very thin white t-shirt. For a seamless look under white or light-colored clothing, consider a nude or white version of the bra.

How do I determine my correct bra size?

Consult a professional bra fitting or use online guides that measure your band size (around your ribcage) and cup size (the difference between your bust and band measurement).

What is the material composition?

The bra is made from 56% recycled nylon, 31% polyamide, and 13% elastane. Some descriptions also mention a blend including cotton (69% cotton, 21% cotton and 10% elastane), indicating potential variations or older product details.

How should I wash this bra to maintain its shape?

Always wash on a delicate cycle with cold water and lay flat or hang to dry. Avoid the dryer, as heat can damage the elastic and reduce the bra's lifespan.

Does this bra offer significant push-up?

No, this is a lightly lined demi bra. It offers shaping and moderate support but does not provide significant push-up or added volume.

Troubleshooting

Bra straps slipping

Ensure the straps are adjusted to the correct length. If slipping persists, check that the bra is the correct size. Over time, elastic can lose its stretch; consider replacing the bra if it's old.

Discomfort or chafing

Verify the band and cup size are correct. Ensure the hook-and-eye closure is fastened properly and not digging in. Adjust straps to alleviate pressure points.

Visible bra lines under clothing

The lightly lined, seamless cups are designed to minimize lines. Ensure the bra fits smoothly against the skin without pulling or bunching. A tighter-fitting garment will naturally make bra lines more apparent.

Material feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are following the recommended delicate wash cycle and avoiding harsh detergents or fabric softeners. Laying flat to dry and avoiding high heat can help maintain the fabric's softness.
