FAQs
What does 'minimiser bra' mean?
A minimiser bra is designed to reduce the apparent size of the bust, typically by redistributing the breast tissue outwards and downwards, creating a smoother, less projected silhouette under clothing.
How much does this bra minimize the bust?
This specific Berlei Beauty Stripe Underwired Minimiser Bra is designed to reduce the appearance of the bust by up to one size.
Can I machine wash this bra?
No, this bra must be hand washed only. Machine washing can damage the delicate fabrics, underwire, and strap materials.
Can I put this bra in the dryer?
Absolutely not. Tumble drying can damage the straps, rings, and elastic, leading to breakage and loss of shape. It must be air-dried flat.
What is the material composition of the bra?
The bra is made from 62% Polyamide, 20% Elastane, and 18% Polyester, exclusive of trims.
Is this bra suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, with its comfortable lining and wide padded straps, it is designed for supportive and comfortable everyday wear, especially when a smoother profile is desired.
What does the stripe mesh detail refer to?
The stripe mesh detail is a design element featuring a bold striped pattern made of mesh fabric, visible on the cups and the centre front of the bra.
Troubleshooting
Bra feels too tight or too loose
Ensure you have selected the correct band and cup size. Refer to Berlei's sizing guide for accurate measurements. Proper fit is crucial for both comfort and minimizing effect.
Straps digging into shoulders
Adjust the strap length. If discomfort persists, ensure the band is sitting correctly, as a band that is too loose will cause straps to bear too much weight. The wide padded straps are designed for comfort, so a proper fit is key.
Underwire is uncomfortable or poking
This can indicate an incorrect cup size or the bra reaching the end of its lifespan. Ensure the wire channels are intact and try adjusting the bra's position. If the wire is bent or broken, the bra should be replaced.
Bra loses shape or support after washing
Follow the hand wash only and do not tumble dry instructions strictly. Avoid harsh detergents or wringing the fabric, as these can damage the materials and elastication.
