FAQs

What is the primary benefit of this bra?

The primary benefit is its ability to minimize the appearance of your bust by up to one size, providing a smoother look under clothing.

Absolutely. Its smooth and seamless finish makes it ideal for wearing under tight-fitting garments like dresses and blouses.

What does 'underwired minimizer' mean?

It means the bra has built-in underwires for support and is designed to reduce the visible size of the bust. The 'minimizer' aspect helps to create a sleeker profile.

Troubleshooting

Straps digging into shoulders

Ensure the bra is the correct size. Adjust the strap length using the sliders. If the issue persists, the padding may not be sufficient for your needs, and a different style might be more suitable.

Band feels too tight or loose

Check that you are wearing the correct band size. The band should sit snugly and horizontally across your back. If too tight, try the next band size up. If too loose, try the next band size down. Ensure the bra is fastened on the loosest hook initially; it will soften with wear.

Underwire is uncomfortable

Verify that the center gore sits flat against your sternum and that the cups are fitting correctly. An underwire that pokes can indicate the bra is too small in the cup or band, or not the right shape for your body.

Minimizing effect is not as expected

Ensure the bra is the correct size and that the cups fully encapsulate the breast tissue. The minimizing effect is achieved by distributing breast tissue, so a proper fit is crucial.
