How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the Bluebella sizing chart for accurate measurements. Ensure you measure your band size (underbust) and cup size (difference between bust and underbust measurements).

Can this be worn as outerwear?

Yes, its design allows it to be styled as outerwear, for example, under a blazer or with high-waisted skirts or trousers.

What type of hosiery is compatible with the suspender straps?

How should I wash and care for the basque?

Hand wash only in cool water with a mild detergent. Rinse well and lay flat to air dry. Do not bleach, tumble dry, or iron.

Is the wiring comfortable for extended wear?

The wiring is designed to provide support and shape. Comfort for extended wear can vary based on individual fit and body shape. Adjusting the straps and ensuring a proper fit is key.

What is the return policy if the fit is incorrect?

Please refer to the retailer's specific return policy for information on exchanges or returns due to sizing issues. Typically, items must be in original condition with tags attached.

Troubleshooting

Straps dig into shoulders

Adjust the shoulder straps to a looser setting. Ensure the basque is not too small in the band size.

Cups do not fit correctly

Ensure the center gore sits flat against the sternum. Check if the cup size is appropriate; consider trying a different cup size if necessary.

Suspensers are too tight or too loose

Adjust the length of the suspender straps to achieve the desired tension for your hosiery.

Embroidery appears damaged

Handle with care during wear and washing. Avoid snagging the delicate embroidery on rough surfaces.
