Berlei Beauty Stripe Smoothing Bra - Red - Striped

This means the bra is designed to create a smoother, less projected silhouette, making your bust appear visually smaller by approximately one standard bra cup size, while still providing support and shape.

Yes, the wide padded straps are designed to distribute weight more evenly across your shoulders, reducing pressure points and enhancing comfort, especially for fuller busts or during prolonged wear.

Absolutely. The smooth cups and moulded fabric are specifically designed to provide a seamless look under close-fitting clothing, preventing any visible lines or bulges.

It is recommended to hand wash the bra in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid machine washing and tumble drying, as these can damage the fabric and underwire.

The bra is made from a blend of 62% Polyamide, 20% Elastane, and 18% Polyester, exclusive of trims. This blend offers a balance of stretch, support, and durability.

Yes, the under-wiring is designed to provide reliable support and help maintain a natural shape and volume for the bust.

The bold stripe mesh detail is primarily on the cups and centre front. While generally subtle, it might be slightly visible under very thin or sheer fabrics. The smooth cups beneath aim to create an overall seamless look.

Ensure you have selected the correct band and cup size. Adjust the straps to a comfortable tension. If discomfort persists, check that the underwire is sitting correctly against your ribcage.

Ensure the straps are adjusted correctly and not too loose. If they continue to slip, the bra may need to be replaced if it has lost its elasticity.

Ensure the cups are fully encompassing the breast tissue. The minimisation effect is designed to be subtle and supportive, not to flatten completely.

This can happen over time with wear and washing. Gently try to reposition the underwire. If the fabric is significantly torn, the bra may need to be retired.
