FAQs

What makes the 'High Apex' design unique?

The high apex design means the center gore (the part between the cups) extends higher up, creating a natural lift and a more rounded, uplifted shape to the bust.

Is the padding significant, or is it just for opacity?

The padding is described as 'light' and is primarily intended to provide a more opaque appearance, meaning it helps to conceal the nipple area without adding substantial volume or push-up effect.

Can this bra be worn under very sheer clothing?

Yes, the sheer neckline is designed to be subtly provocative and can complement sheer or semi-transparent tops. The light padding ensures adequate coverage.

How do I ensure I'm choosing the right size?

Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart, which typically involves measuring your band size (underbust) and cup size (overbust). A proper fit is crucial for comfort and support.

Why is hand-washing recommended?

Hand-washing helps to preserve the delicate fabric, lace, and elastic components of the bra, extending its lifespan and maintaining its shape and structure compared to machine washing.

What is the return policy for this item?

Please refer to the retailer's specific return policy. Typically, intimate apparel may have restrictions on returns unless it is faulty.

Troubleshooting

Bra straps slipping

Adjust the sliders on the straps to tighten them. Ensure the bra is the correct size; a band that is too loose can cause straps to slip.

Underwire discomfort

Ensure the bra is the correct size and the underwire is sitting correctly in the bra cup pocket. If discomfort persists, the bra may not be the right style for your body shape.

Fabric snagging or tearing

Handle with care, especially when washing and drying. Avoid contact with sharp objects or rough surfaces.
