Extended Product Information
FAQs
What makes this bra a 'longline' style?
A longline bra has an extended band that goes lower than a traditional bra, typically reaching towards the waist or hip area, providing extra support and a distinct silhouette.
Is the cotton modal fabric breathable?
Yes, the blend of cotton and modal is known for its breathability and softness, making it comfortable for extended wear and in warmer conditions.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the Calvin Klein size chart provided, which typically includes measurements for band size (underbust) and cup size (difference between bust and underbust measurements). It's often recommended to get professionally fitted if unsure.
Can I wear this bra for exercise?
This bra is best suited for low to moderate impact activities. For high-impact workouts, a sports bra designed for maximum support is recommended.
Will the longline band show under tight tops?
The longline band can be visible under very tight or thin fabrics. It is often best paired with slightly looser fitting tops or worn as a visible fashion element.
How should I care for my Icon Cotton Modal bra?
Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle in cold water with mild detergent. Always air dry by laying flat or hanging; avoid machine dryers.
What is the return policy?
Please refer to the retailer's specific return policy for details on returns and exchanges, as policies can vary.
Troubleshooting
Straps digging in
Adjust the straps to a looser setting. Ensure the band is fitting correctly at the loosest hook to avoid overtightening the straps.
Band riding up
The band may be too loose. Try fastening the bra on a tighter hook setting. Ensure the bra size is correct for your ribcage measurement.
Spillage or discomfort in cups
The cup size might be incorrect. Ensure the bra is your proper cup size and that the back band is level. You may need to try a different cup size for a better fit.
Fabric pilling
This can sometimes occur with cotton blends. Gentle washing and air drying can help minimize this. Avoid harsh detergents or excessive friction.
