Product Information
Full details
The Sculptresse Estel Underwired Full Cup Bra is specifically engineered for individuals with a fuller bust who require a blend of superior support and sophisticated aesthetic appeal. This 4-piece construction provides a reliable lift and defined projection through a combination of lined bottom cups and specialized side slings, offering a smoothing back profile thanks to its innovative double-layered wings. While the bra excels at providing all-day stability and comfort, potential users should note that the delicate lace detailing and specialized internal construction require gentle hand washing to maintain structural integrity over time.

FAQs
Can I machine wash this bra?
No, it is highly recommended to hand wash only to protect the lace and the integrity of the underwires.
Is the lace itchy?
The lace is designed to be soft and flexible, though sensitivity can vary by individual; the top cup is lined in key areas to prioritize comfort.
What is the benefit of the 4-piece cup?
A 4-piece cup allows for more precise tailoring, providing better lift, shape, and separation for larger bust sizes compared to a standard 2-piece cup.
Will the side sling help with my shape?
Yes, the side sling acts as a support panel that pushes tissue forward, creating a more centered, rounded silhouette.
Are the straps wide enough for support?
Yes, the straps are proportioned specifically to provide necessary weight distribution for fuller busts without digging into the shoulders.
Troubleshooting
Straps slipping off shoulders
Adjust the sliders on the back of the straps to tighten the fit; if the issue persists, ensure the underband is not too loose.
Underwire digging into ribs
Check that your band size is correct; if the wire is painful, try going up one band size while maintaining your current cup volume.
Lace curling at the top edge
Ensure the bra is not being dried in a high-heat dryer and avoid storing it inside-out which can cause snagging.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your bra lasts, always fasten the hook-and-eye closures before placing the garment in a basin of cool water. Use a gentle, lingerie-specific detergent and avoid scrubbing the lace sections. After washing, gently squeeze out excess water—avoid wringing the cups as this can distort the underwire and the padding. Lay the bra flat or hang it by the center gore to dry; never use a tumble dryer, as high heat degrades the polyester blend and destroys the elasticity of the underband. For the best fit, ensure the underband sits firmly against the ribcage without digging in, and adjust the straps to sit comfortably on your shoulders without sliding.
