Berlei Beauty Everyday Underwired Minimiser Bra - Purple

A minimiser bra is designed to reduce the visual projection of the bust, making the breasts appear smaller and creating a sleeker silhouette under clothing. It achieves this through specific cup construction and supportive underwires.

This bra is designed for everyday wear and gentle support. It is not intended as a high-impact sports bra. For athletic activities, a specialized sports bra is recommended.

The band should fit snugly but comfortably around your ribcage, sitting parallel to the floor and not riding up. You should be able to fit two fingers underneath the band.

Underwired means the bra has a thin, flexible wire sewn into the fabric beneath each cup. This wire helps to lift, shape, and support the bust.

The lace is designed to be elegant and feminine. While individual sensitivity varies, it is generally made to be comfortable for everyday wear. The blend of materials aims for a soft feel.

The heat from a tumble dryer can significantly damage the elasticity of the fabric, melt or damage the underwire casing, and weaken the straps, leading to a loss of shape and support.

The bra is made from 60% Polyamide, 22% Polyester, and 18% Elastane, excluding the trims.

Adjust the strap length to be looser. Ensure the band is sitting correctly on your back, as the band should bear most of the support.

Check for any damage to the fabric casing around the underwire. If the bra is old or damaged, it may need replacing. Ensure you have the correct cup size; if the cup is too small, the underwire may dig in.

The band may be too loose. Try tightening the hook-and-eye closure or consider a smaller band size. Ensure the bra is not being worn inside out.

Hand wash gently and avoid harsh detergents or excessive wringing. Lay flat or hang to dry carefully, ensuring lace is not stretched or snagged.
