FAQs
How does this bra reduce the appearance of the bust?
The bra is designed with minimizing cups that distribute breast tissue outwards and downwards, creating a smoother, less voluminous silhouette under clothing. It can reduce the appearance by up to one size.
Is this bra suitable for daily wear?
Yes, it is designed for everyday comfort, featuring wide padded front straps and a soft lining. Its seamless cups make it ideal for wearing under various outfits.
What are the specific materials used in this bra?
The bra is made from Polyamide (62%), Elastane (20%), and Polyester (18%), exclusive of trims.
How should I wash and care for this bra?
It is hand wash only. Use a mild detergent in cool water and rinse thoroughly. Do not tumble dry; instead, hang it to dry away from direct heat.
Can I wear this bra under tight-fitting clothing?
Yes, the smooth, moulded cups provide a seamless finish that is invisible under tight-fitting garments, preventing any VPL or unwanted lines.
What is the range of sizes available?
This bra is available for fuller busts and larger back sizes, going up to a 44G in some variants, with specific sizing detailed in product listings.
Does the mesh detail affect comfort?
The mesh detailing is incorporated stylishly into the cups and centre front. It is designed to be soft and non-irritating, complementing the overall comfort features of the bra.
Troubleshooting
Straps digging into shoulders
Adjust the straps to a comfortable, secure fit. Ensure the bra band is sitting correctly at the back, as an ill-fitting band can cause straps to carry too much weight.
Bra band riding up
The band may be too large or not sitting flat. Try tightening the band hooks if available. If the issue persists, a smaller band size might be needed.
Underwire discomfort
Ensure the bra is the correct size and fit. The underwire should cup the breast tissue smoothly. If discomfort persists, the underwire may not be suitable for your shape, or a different bra style might be a better fit.
Reduced minimiser effect
Ensure the cups are fitting correctly and fully enclosing the breast tissue. Adjust straps to ensure the bra is sitting at the correct level on your torso.
