FAQs
What makes this bra 'non-padded'?
The non-padded design means the cups do not have any extra foam or padding inserted. It relies on the structure of the fabric and the underwire to provide shape and support, offering a more natural look and feel.
Who is this bra designed for?
This bra is designed for adult women, particularly those who prefer or require supportive, non-padded lingerie that offers lift and projection, especially in larger cup sizes up to J.
How do I know if I have the right size?
A properly fitting bra should have the band sitting snugly and parallel to the floor, the cups should fully contain your breast tissue without spillage or gapping, and the straps should provide support without digging in. It is recommended to get professionally measured if unsure.
Is this bra suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, it is described as a 'lifestyle' bra, designed for all-day comfort due to its lightweight and breathable materials, making it suitable for daily activities.
What type of necklines does the plunge style work best with?
The plunge style is designed with a lower center gore and cups that angle outwards, making it ideal for lower-cut tops, V-necks, and scoop necks where a traditional bra might show.
How should I care for this bra to ensure longevity?
Hand washing in cool water with a mild detergent and air drying is recommended to preserve the fabric's quality and the bra's structure. Avoid machine washing and tumble drying.
Does the 'rich plum purple' color fade easily?
Following the recommended care instructions, such as hand washing and air drying away from direct sunlight, will help to maintain the vibrancy of the color and prevent premature fading.
Troubleshooting
Straps slipping
Ensure straps are adjusted correctly. If they continue to slip, the bra may be too large or the straps may need replacing.
Band riding up
The band should be parallel to the floor. If it's riding up, the band is likely too loose and you may need a smaller band size.
Underwire discomfort
Ensure the underwire is sitting correctly in the bra's channel and fully encircling the breast tissue. If discomfort persists, the bra size or shape may not be suitable.
Cups gapping
This usually indicates the cup size is too large. Try a smaller cup size while keeping the band size the same.
Breasts spilling out of cups
This suggests the cup size is too small. Try a larger cup size within the same band size.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As this is an undergarment, 'setup' primarily refers to proper fitting and adjustment. Ensure the band sits comfortably and level around your ribcage, and the cups fully enclose your breasts without spilling over or gapping. The straps should be adjusted to provide support without digging in.
Care Instructions: To maintain the bra's shape and fabric integrity:
- Washing: Hand wash using a mild detergent in cool or lukewarm water. Avoid machine washing as it can damage the underwire and delicate fabric.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
- Drying: Gently squeeze out excess water (do not wring). Lay flat or hang to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat. Never put bras in a tumble dryer.
- Storage: Store folded or hung to prevent deformation.
