Product Information
Full details
This Triumph Body MakeUp Illusion Curve Underwired Minimiser Bra in Beige (size 42D) is designed for women seeking a smoothed silhouette and comfortable support. Its key benefit is the innovative jelly print technology at the wings that sculpts and smooths the underarm area, complemented by wide straps and a scooped back for all-day wear. A minor caveat is that it requires hand washing and should not be tumble dried to preserve its structure.

FAQs
What does 'minimiser bra' mean?
A minimiser bra is designed to distribute breast tissue to create a visually smaller appearance, offering a sleeker silhouette under clothing without compressing the bust uncomfortably.
How do I find my correct size in this bra?
Measure your band size (below the bust) and your cup size (around the fullest part of the bust). Consult Triumph's official sizing chart for the most accurate conversion, as sizes can vary between brands.
Can the jelly print technology be felt during wear?
The jelly print technology is designed to be smooth and integrated into the fabric of the wings. It should not be noticeable or uncomfortable during wear.
Is this bra suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, the wide straps, scooped back, and supportive construction are designed for all-day comfort and everyday use.
What makes this bra different from other Triumph bras?
This specific model, the BMU Illusion Curve, features unique jelly print technology for underarm smoothing and a scooped back design, in addition to its minimiser function and use of recycled materials.
Can I wear this bra with very low-cut tops?
While it offers medium coverage, the minimiser effect and scooped back make it adaptable to various necklines. However, for extremely low-cut tops, a lower-cut bra might be more suitable.
What materials is this bra made from?
The bra is primarily made from 81% Polyamide and 19% Elastane. It is also crafted from GRS-certified recycled materials.
Troubleshooting
Straps digging into shoulders
Ensure the bra is the correct size and the straps are adjusted properly. If the band is too loose, the straps will bear too much weight. If the issue persists, the bra may not be suitable for your body shape.
Band riding up
The band might be too large or worn out. Try adjusting the hooks to a tighter setting. If it's on the tightest setting and still rides up, it's time to consider a smaller band size.
Underarm bulge (jelly print not smoothing)
Check if the cup size is correct. If the cup is too small, spillage can occur, leading to bulges. Ensure the wings are sitting flat against your body.
Underwire poking through fabric
This can happen with wear and tear. Avoid aggressive washing or drying methods. If minor, you might be able to tuck it back in, but significant poking usually means the bra needs replacement.
Pros and Cons

- Wide straps and scooped back provide excellent all-day comfort.
- Minimiser feature helps create a smoother, more streamlined silhouette.
- Made with GRS-certified recycled materials, promoting sustainability.
- Offers good support due to underwire construction.
Cons
- Requires hand wash only, increasing care time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is an undergarment, so setup primarily involves determining the correct fit. Ensure the band sits comfortably level around your torso and the cups fully enclose your bust without spilling or gaping.
Compatibility: Designed for adult females. Its medium coverage and minimiser features make it compatible with a wide range of clothing styles, from casual wear to more formal attire, especially where a smooth silhouette is desired. It is compatible with standard bra fastenings.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Hand wash only. Use a mild detergent in cool or lukewarm water.
- Drying: DO NOT tumble dry. The heat from a tumble dryer can damage the straps and underwire, potentially causing them to break. Instead, gently reshape the bra and lay it flat or hang it to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat.
- Storage: Store folded or rolled to maintain its shape, avoiding excessive creasing.
