Product Information
Full details
This Triumph Body MakeUp Illusion bra is designed for adult women seeking a smooth silhouette and comfortable support. Its key benefit is its medium-coverage minimiser design that sculpts and smooths the underarm area, complemented by wide straps and a scooped back for all-day wear. A minor caveat is the specific hand-wash care instruction, as it should not be tumble dried to preserve the material and components.

FAQs
What is the main benefit of this minimiser bra?
The main benefit is its ability to reduce the appearance of bust size while providing a smooth, seamless silhouette, especially in the underarm area, thanks to its innovative jelly print technology and comfortable design.
Can I machine wash this bra?
No, this bra should only be hand washed. Machine washing can damage the fabric and construction, particularly the jelly print technology and straps.
Why should I not tumble dry the bra?
Tumble drying can damage the materials and components of the bra, such as the straps and underwire casing, due to the heat. This can lead to them breaking or deforming.
What does 'GRS-certified' mean?
GRS stands for Global Recycled Standard. It ensures that the materials used are recycled and that the manufacturing process meets specific environmental and social criteria.
How do the wide straps contribute to comfort?
Wide straps distribute weight more evenly across the shoulders, reducing pressure points and providing greater comfort, especially for individuals with a larger bust.
Is this bra suitable for very formal occasions?
Yes, the smooth silhouette and minimiser effect make it suitable for formal wear, particularly under fitted garments where a clean line is essential.
What is the material composition of the bra?
The bra is made from 81% Polyamide and 19% Elastane.
Troubleshooting
Bra feels too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct band and cup size. Try adjusting the hook and eye closure to the loosest setting initially and gradually move to tighter settings as the bra stretches with wear. If discomfort persists, consider a different size or style.
Straps digging into shoulders
Adjust the strap length using the provided adjusters. The straps should be snug but not tight, and distribute support evenly. If they continue to dig in, the band size might be too large, causing the straps to carry too much weight.
Underarm smoothing is not effective
Ensure the bra is positioned correctly on the body, with the wings sitting flat against the skin in the underarm area. The jelly print technology works best when in direct contact with the skin as intended by the design.
Material feels stiff after washing
This can sometimes happen if the bra was over-rinsed or dried improperly. Ensure you are using a mild detergent and air-drying the bra away from heat. Gentle stretching after drying may help restore softness.
