To achieve the 'ultimate plunge' effect, ensure the bra band sits firmly and level across your back. Adjust the standard straps so they provide comfortable support without digging into your shoulders. The patented hand-shaped structures should cradle and lift your bust from beneath, creating the desired cleavage. Position your breasts within the cups to maximize the push-up and centering effect. This bra is primarily compatible with deep plunging neckline dresses, tops, and gowns. It's an ideal choice for evening wear, cocktail dresses, or any garment where a standard bra would show. Avoid wearing it with high-neck or modest necklines where its specialized plunging design would be unnecessary. For care, this bra requires specific attention: `Machine wash delicate`. Always use cold water and a gentle cycle to protect the foam padding, wires, and delicate fabric. It is recommended to use a lingerie bag to prevent snagging and stretching. Air dry flat to maintain its shape and avoid damage to the wires or silicone strips; do not tumble dry.
