FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the non-stretch top cup?
The non-stretch top cup provides additional support and helps maintain the bra's shape, preventing overstretching and ensuring a secure fit throughout the day.
How do I know if I have the correct band size?
The band should sit snugly and level around your torso, typically on the loosest hook setting when new. It should not ride up your back.
Can I machine wash this bra?
No, this bra must be hand washed only in cool water with a mild detergent. Machine washing or tumble drying can damage the fabric and construction.
What does 'three section cups plus side support panels' mean?
This refers to the construction of the bra cups, which are divided into three panels, along with an additional side panel. This design is engineered to provide excellent forward shaping, lift, and support.
Is the sheer lining comfortable?
Yes, the cups are lined with tulle which, combined with the sheer lining, is designed for support while maintaining a light and comfortable feel against the skin.
What is the purpose of the tall chimney back?
The tall chimney back is designed to provide a smoothing effect across the back and ensure a comfortable, secure fit that helps prevent the band from rolling.
How does the hook fastening vary by size?
Smaller size ranges (e.g., 36-42DD, 36-40E, 36-38F, 36FF, 34G, 32GG) use a 2-hook fastening, while all other sizes use a 3-hook fastening for added support.
Troubleshooting
Band riding up
Ensure the band is on the loosest hook setting for a snug fit. Check if the band size is correct for your band measurement. The tall chimney back design should help minimize riding up.
Straps digging in
Adjust the straps to a comfortable length. If digging persists, the band might be providing too much support, or the cup size may need adjustment.
Spillage or poor fit in cups
Check the bra size, particularly the cup size. Ensure the breast is fully encased in the cup and that the side support panels are positioned correctly.
Embroidery or fabric snagging
Handle with care during washing and wearing. Avoid contact with rough surfaces or jewelry that could catch on the delicate embroidery or mesh.
