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.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

This is a standard bra and requires no specific setup beyond adjusting the straps and fastening the hook-and-eye closure for a perfect fit.

Compatibility:

  • Clothing: Best suited for tops and dresses with lower necklines or those that accommodate a fuller bust, such as V-necks, scoop necks, and balconette-style tops. Consider the opacity of your outer garments due to the non-padded cups.
  • Sizing: Available in various band and cup sizes. Refer to the size chart to find your best fit.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the quality and appearance of your bra:

  1. Hand Wash Recommended: Gently hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent.
  2. Avoid Bleach: Do not use bleach or harsh cleaning agents.
  3. Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse well to remove all soap residue.
  4. Do Not Tumble Dry: Reshape the bra while damp and lay flat to dry, away from direct heat or sunlight.
  5. Avoid Ironing: Do not iron the fabric or embellishments.
  6. Separate Colours: Wash with similar colours.
