FAQs
What does 'fuller bust' mean in this context?
Fuller bust refers to bras designed with additional support features and cup construction suitable for larger breast sizes, ensuring comfort and a flattering shape.
How does a non-padded bra differ from a padded one?
A non-padded bra uses the fabric structure and underwire (if present) to shape the bust, offering a lighter feel and a more natural look. A padded bra includes extra foam or padding for shaping, support, and modesty.
Can I wear this bra under a t-shirt?
While possible, the detailed embroidery and foil finish might be visible under very thin or form-fitting t-shirts. It's best suited for occasions where the design can be subtly shown or for wearing with layered outfits.
What are the benefits of a balcony bra shape?
The balcony bra (also known as a demi-cup or balcony plunge) offers moderate coverage, lifting the breasts upwards and outwards to create a fuller, rounded appearance and a flattering cleavage.
How do I know if my bra fits correctly?
A well-fitting bra should have the band sitting snugly parallel to your body, the center gore (the part between the cups) lying flat against your sternum, and the cups fully enclosing the breast without gaping or spillage.
What is the material composition?
The bra is made from 60% Polyamide and 40% Elastane, providing a balance of durability, stretch, and comfort.
Can I mix and match with other Ann Summers ranges?
While this bra is designed to be part of the Paradise Glow collection, you can certainly mix and match with other Ann Summers pieces based on your personal style and preference for colour and fit.
Troubleshooting
Straps digging in or slipping
Adjust the shoulder straps to the correct length. Ensure the bra band is fitting snugly but comfortably around your ribcage, as this provides the primary support.
Underwire discomfort
Ensure you have selected the correct cup size. If the underwire feels uncomfortable, it may indicate the band is too tight or the cup size is not quite right. Check that the underwire is sitting correctly in the channel.
Embroidery or foil finish losing its sheen
Follow the care instructions carefully, opting for hand washing in cool water and avoiding harsh detergents or high heat during drying. Do not iron.
Band riding up
The band is likely too loose. Try a tighter hook setting or consider if a smaller band size is needed. The band should sit parallel to the floor.
