Product Information

Full details

The Berlei Beauty Stripe Smoothing Bra is designed for individuals seeking a streamlined silhouette with enhanced comfort and support. Its primary benefit is a minimiser effect that reduces the appearance of the bust by up to one size, combined with a high-coverage design that remains invisible under clothing; however, users should note that the garment requires delicate hand-washing to maintain its structural integrity and fabric quality.

FAQs

Can I machine wash this bra?

No, this product is recommended for hand wash only to protect the padding and structural integrity.

Does this bra offer underwire support?

While some models in the Beauty Stripe range include underwire, check the specific product tag for your item to confirm the internal construction.

Will this bra show under a white shirt?

The black colorway may show under very thin white fabrics; it is best paired with darker or thicker materials.

How much does it minimize?

The bra is designed to minimize the appearance of the bust by up to one cup size.

Is the material stretchy?

The polyester blend provides a supportive structure with a slight degree of flex for comfort, though it is designed to be firm for smoothing purposes.

Troubleshooting

Straps digging into shoulders

Adjust the strap length to ensure they are not too tight, and confirm the band size is correct, as most support should come from the band, not the straps.

Cup puckering or folding

Ensure the bra is correctly sized; if the cup is too large, the material will not sit flush against the skin.

Band riding up the back

The band is likely too loose. Try a smaller band size or use a tighter hook setting if possible.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reduces bust profile by up to one cup size
  • Wide padded straps for superior shoulder comfort
  • High coverage design prevents spill-over
  • Smooth finish offers invisibility under outer garments

Cons

  • Requires hand washing only
  • Material may not be as breathable as natural cotton options
  • Limited to specific sizing ranges

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best fit, ensure the bra is fastened on the loosest hook when new to allow for fabric relaxation over time. This bra is compatible with most standard necklines due to its high-coverage shape. Regarding care, the product is strictly recommended for hand washing only. To maintain the elasticity and shape, soak the bra in cool water with a gentle detergent, gently squeeze to remove excess water, and lay it flat to dry in the shade. Avoid twisting or wringing the cups, as this can permanently deform the molded structure of the bra.
