FAQs
What does 'longline' mean for this bra?
A 'longline' bra extends further down the torso than a traditional bra, typically to the rib cage or waist. This provides more coverage and can offer a smoother silhouette under clothing.
Is this bra suitable for sports?
This bra is designed for everyday comfort and light support. It is not recommended for high-impact sports or strenuous physical activity, which require specialized sports bras.
What is the material of the bra?
The bra is made from a comfortable cotton blend, offering breathability and softness for daily wear.
How do I know if the 36B size is correct for me?
Refer to a reliable sizing chart and take accurate measurements of your band and cup size. Ensure the band fits snugly and horizontally around your body, and the cups fully enclose your breasts without gaping or spilling over.
Can I wear this bra under a t-shirt?
Yes, the lightly lined cups offer modesty, making it suitable for wearing under t-shirts and other everyday tops. The longline style might be more noticeable under very thin or tight t-shirts.
What are the washing instructions?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors, and air dry. Avoid bleach and do not iron.
Does this bra offer much padding?
The cups are lightly lined, meaning they have a thin layer of padding for shape and modesty, but they do not add significant volume or push-up effect.
Troubleshooting
Bra feels uncomfortable or digs in.
Ensure you have selected the correct size (36B). Check that the straps and band are adjusted properly, not too tight or too loose. Try unhooking and re-hooking the bra to ensure it's sitting correctly.
Straps are slipping.
Adjust the strap length. If slippage persists, the bra may be too large in the cup or band, or the straps may need to be tightened further. Ensure the bra is washed according to care instructions to maintain elasticity.
Longline band rides up.
This can sometimes happen with longline styles. Ensure the band is sitting flat against your skin and is not twisted. Adjusting the fit may help, or consider if the garment underneath is causing friction.
Fabric loses elasticity over time.
Follow the recommended care instructions strictly, especially avoiding high heat in washing or drying. Hand washing or using a mesh laundry bag for machine washing can prolong the life of the fabric and elastic.
