Berlei Beauty Stripe Smoothing Bra - Black

A minimiser bra is designed to distribute your breast tissue slightly differently, reducing the projected appearance of your bust by up to one or two cup sizes. It provides support without adding volume.

The band should be snug and parallel to the floor, the underwire should encircle your breast tissue, and the cups should contain the entire breast without gaping or spilling over.

Yes, the high coverage and smoothing design make it suitable for wearing under t-shirts and other fitted clothing where a seamless look is desired.

The bra is primarily made of Polyamide (62%), Elastane (20%), and Polyester (18%), excluding trims. This blend provides stretch, support, and durability.

It's generally recommended to hand wash bras after every 1-2 wears to maintain hygiene and the integrity of the fabric and elastic.

No, the care instructions specify hand wash only. Machine washing, even on a delicate cycle, can damage the underwire, padding, and fabric.

The 'Beauty Stripe' refers to the decorative bold stripe mesh detail featured on the cups and centre front of the bra, adding a stylish element to its design.

Ensure the bra is the correct size. If the band is too loose, the straps will bear too much weight. Adjust the strap length if possible, or consider a different size or style.

The band may be too large. Try a smaller band size. Ensure the bra is fastened correctly on the outermost hooks initially, moving inwards as the bra stretches.

Verify the cup size is correct; if the cup is too small, the underwire may dig. Ensure the underwire is sitting in the natural crease under the breast. Occasionally, the underwire casing may need adjustment.

Check the band size and cup fit. A properly fitted band provides the majority of the support. Ensure all the fabric in the cup is being utilized.
