FAQs
How do I know if I have the right size?
The band should sit snugly on your ribcage, level all around. You should be able to fit two fingers underneath it. The cups should fully contain your breast tissue without gaping or digging in, and the underwire should lie flat against your skin.
Can I machine wash this bra?
No, this bra must be hand washed only. Machine washing, especially with agitation and heat, can damage the delicate materials and underwire.
What does 'minimiser bra' mean?
A minimiser bra is designed to reduce the apparent size of your bust by distributing breast tissue more evenly. This bra can reduce the appearance by up to one size.
Are the padded straps removable?
The padded straps on this model are integrated and not removable, designed for consistent comfort and support.
What kind of outfits is this bra best for?
This bra is ideal for wearing under fitted clothing, blouses, t-shirts, and dresses where a smooth, streamlined silhouette is desired.
Can I wear this bra for sports?
This bra offers good support for everyday activities but is not designed as a high-impact sports bra. For athletic activities, a specialized sports bra is recommended.
What is the material of the bra?
The primary materials include Cotton and Polyester, with mesh detailing for a stylish finish. The lining is super soft for enhanced comfort.
Troubleshooting
Straps digging in
Ensure the band is not too tight and the straps are adjusted correctly. The band should provide most of the support.
Underwire discomfort
Verify the correct cup size. If the underwire is still uncomfortable, this style may not be suitable for your body shape.
Bra not providing desired minimization
Confirm correct band and cup fit. Ensure all components are lying flat against the body as intended.
Fabric pilling after washing
Ensure you are hand washing gently and using a mild detergent. Avoid harsh scrubbing.

Care Instructions:
- Hand Wash Only: Gently wash the bra in cool water with a mild detergent.
- Do Not Tumble Dry: The heat from a tumble dryer can damage the bra's straps, rings, and fabric integrity.
