FAQs

What makes the top cup non-stretch?

The top cup is made from a material that has minimal stretch, designed to provide firm support and maintain shape without accommodating changes in bust volume, which is beneficial for consistent uplift and shaping.

Is the embroidery scratchy?

The embroidery is constructed using a flat stitch technique specifically to minimize show-through and discomfort, aiming for a smooth feel against the skin.

What is the purpose of the tall chimney back?

The tall chimney back is designed to provide a smoothing effect across the back, helping to reduce bulges and ensure the bra band stays securely in place without riding up.

How do I know if I need a 2-hook or 3-hook fastening?

The bra features a 2-hook fastening for smaller band and cup sizes (e.g., 36-42DD, 36-40E, 36-38F, 36FF, 34G, 32GG) and a 3-hook fastening for all other sizes to provide adequate support for larger cup volumes.

Can I machine wash this bra?

No, hand washing is strictly recommended. Machine washing, especially on a delicate cycle, can damage the underwire, straps, and embroidery due to agitation and heat.

What does 'sheer lining' mean for the cups?

It means the cups are made from a transparent or semi-transparent tulle fabric, which is then lined with another layer of material. This combination provides support and coverage while maintaining a lightweight and visually sheer appearance.

What is the main benefit of the side support panels?

The side support panels are integrated into the cup design to help push the bust towards the center, enhancing forward projection and providing a rounded, lifted shape.

Troubleshooting

Underwire poking or discomfort

Ensure the bra is the correct size and that the underwire casing is intact. If the casing is damaged, the bra may need replacement.

Straps digging in

Adjust the bra straps to a comfortable length. If digging persists, the bra band might be too loose, requiring a smaller band size.

Band riding up

The band may be too large. Try a smaller band size. Ensure the bra is fastened on the loosest hook initially; it can be tightened as it stretches.

Embroidery lifting or snagging

Handle the bra with care during washing and wear to avoid snagging the delicate embroidery. If a thread is pulled, carefully trim it without cutting the base fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This is an underwired bra designed for immediate wear after purchase. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort and support.

Care Instructions:

  • Hand Wash Only: To preserve the delicate embroidery, tulle, and elasticity, hand wash the bra in cool or lukewarm water with a mild detergent.
  • Avoid Bleach and Fabric Softeners: These can damage the fabric and elastic.
  • Do Not Wring or Twist: Gently squeeze out excess water.
  • Reshape and Dry Flat: Lay the bra flat on a clean towel to air dry, away from direct heat or sunlight.
  • Do Not Tumble Dry: The heat can damage the straps, rings, and underwire, potentially causing breakage.
