FAQs
Can I put this bra in the washing machine?
No, this product is recommended for hand wash only to maintain its shape and support features.
Does this bra offer push-up support?
No, this is a smoothing and minimiser bra designed to reduce the bust profile rather than enhance lift.
Is the material breathable?
The bra is made from polyester, which is durable and smooth, but it may not offer the same breathability as natural cotton fabrics.
Will this show through white t-shirts?
The black colorway may show through very thin white fabric; it is best paired with darker or thicker materials.
What does the minimiser function actually do?
It redistributes breast tissue to create a flatter, smoother silhouette, effectively reducing the bust appearance by up to one size.
Troubleshooting
Straps feel uncomfortable after long wear
Ensure the strap length is adjusted so they sit flat against the shoulders without tension.
Visible lines under clothing
Check that the bra size is correct; a size too small or too large may cause the edges to press into the skin or gap.
Loss of elasticity over time
Check that you are not tumble drying the garment, which destroys the stretch fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Berlei Beauty Stripe Smoothing Bra, correct maintenance is essential. Because the garment is constructed from synthetic polyester fibers designed for smoothing, machine agitation can damage the structural integrity of the cups. Always perform a gentle hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid wringing the fabric, as this can distort the shape; instead, gently press out excess water and lay the bra flat to dry in the shade to prevent elastic degradation from UV exposure. Ensure you are matching your specific measurements to the 38B sizing standard to achieve the intended minimiser effect.
