FAQs

What materials is the basque made from?

The Ann Summers Sexy Lace Padded Basque is made from lace that utilizes 50% recycled fibres and mesh that contains a minimum of 70% recycled yarns. The product description indicates primary materials are lace and mesh.

Are the padded cups removable?

Yes, the basque features mini removable pads, allowing you to customize the level of push-up and shape.

How do I choose the correct size?

It is recommended to refer to the official Ann Summers size guide for accurate measurements. This basque is designed with an improved fit across various shapes, but personal fit preferences may vary.

Can I wear this basque without stockings?

Absolutely. While it features suspender straps for attaching stockings, it can be worn perfectly well on its own or with just briefs, depending on your preference and occasion.

Is this basque comfortable enough for all-day wear?

Yes, the design emphasizes comfort for everyday wear while also being suitable for special occasions. The adjustable closures and improved fit contribute to its wearability.

How should I wash this delicate item?

Hand washing in cool water with a mild detergent is strongly recommended to protect the delicate lace and mesh. If using a machine, always use a lingerie bag on a gentle, cold cycle and air dry.

Does it provide strong support?

The basque features underwired cups for added lift and support, providing a good level of shaping. However, it is designed more for enhancement and aesthetic appeal rather than heavy-duty support.

Troubleshooting

Basque feels too tight or too loose.

Check the hook and eye closure for proper adjustment. The basque should fit snugly without digging in. If it still feels off, verify your size against the Ann Summers size guide as fits can vary.

Shoulder straps are digging in or slipping.

Adjust the strap length. Straps digging in means they are too short; straps slipping means they are too long. Ensure they provide support without causing discomfort.

Suspender straps are not holding stockings securely.

Ensure the suspender clips are fully engaged with the stocking band. If the stockings are old or worn, the fabric may be too thin to hold effectively. Consider using new stockings or checking the clip mechanism.

Pads feel uncomfortable or are shifting.

Ensure the removable pads are inserted correctly and smoothed flat within the cup. If they are consistently uncomfortable, you may opt to remove them entirely.

Lace or mesh appears damaged after washing.

This often indicates improper washing. Always hand wash delicate lingerie or use a protective laundry bag on a gentle machine cycle with cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or hot water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Ann Summers Sexy Lace Padded Basque provides optimal comfort and longevity, follow these guidelines for setup, compatibility, and care.

Setup & Wearing

  1. Preparation: Ensure the basque is unfolded and all straps are untangled.
  2. Fastening: Begin by fastening the hook and eye closure at the back, starting from the loosest setting and tightening as needed for a snug, comfortable fit.
  3. Adjusting Cups: Adjust the cups to ensure your breasts are fully enclosed and positioned correctly for the desired uplift. If using, insert the mini removable pads before wearing.
  4. Strap Adjustment: Adjust the shoulder straps for comfortable support. They should be firm enough to keep the basque in place without digging into your shoulders.
  5. Stockings (Optional): If you plan to wear stockings, attach them securely to the suspender straps. Ensure even tension to prevent twisting or sagging.

Compatibility

  • Matching Briefs: Designed to be worn with your choice of Ann Summers Sexy Lace Briefs for a cohesive look.
  • Stockings: Compatible with most standard stockings that have reinforced tops for suspender attachment. Choose colours that complement the red basque.
  • Outerwear: Can be worn under various clothing types, though the lace and mesh details may be visible under very thin or form-fitting garments.

Product Care

  • Washing: Due to its delicate lace and mesh construction, hand washing is highly recommended. Use cool water and a mild detergent specifically designed for delicates. If machine washing, use a lingerie bag on a gentle cycle with cold water.
  • Drying: Do not tumble dry. Gently squeeze out excess water and lay flat or hang to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat. Tumble drying can damage the elastic, lace, and mesh.
  • Storage: Store folded neatly in a drawer or hung carefully to prevent snagging the lace or distorting the shape. Avoid excessive squeezing or crushing.
