Berlei Beauty Stripe Underwired Minimiser Bra - Black - 14

A minimiser bra is designed to reduce the appearance of the bust by up to one cup size, distributing breast tissue to create a smoother, less prominent silhouette under clothing.

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

Yes, this bra is specifically designed for fuller busts and larger back sizes, offering good support and minimising effect.

No, the smooth, moulded cups are designed to be invisible under clothing, providing a seamless finish.

The band should fit snugly and sit parallel to the floor at your back. The cups should fully enclose your breasts without gaping or spilling over. The straps should be comfortable and provide lift without digging in.

The Berlei Beauty Stripe B541 bra is a version of the popular B521, featuring a striking bold stripe mesh detail on the cups and centre front.

Yes, with its comfortable features like padded straps and soft lining, it is designed for everyday wear, provided you follow the care instructions.

Adjust the hook-and-eye closures at the back. If still uncomfortable, consider trying a different band size (e.g., one size up or down).

Loosen the adjustable straps. Ensure the bra band is sitting correctly at the back, as a band that is too loose will cause the straps to carry too much weight.

Ensure you have the correct cup size. If the cup is too small, the underwire may be sitting on breast tissue instead of around it. Check that the bra has not been damaged during washing.

This is uncommon, but if the mesh feels rough, ensure the bra has been thoroughly rinsed after washing and is completely dry. Sometimes, a few wears can help soften the fabric.
