Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Prym bra cups are designed to be sewn directly into the garment during the construction phase. Ensure the cups are positioned correctly on the fabric lining of the garment's bodice before stitching. Use a sewing machine or hand stitch around the edges of the cup, following the seam allowance recommended for your pattern. It is advisable to baste them in place first to check the fit and position before final stitching.
Compatibility:
These cups are compatible with a wide range of fabrics commonly used in dressmaking and swimwear, including lycra, spandex blends, cotton, and heavier polyester fabrics. They are best suited for garments that will be lined, providing a stable base for attachment. The size C is specifically designed to fit standard size C bust measurements, so ensure this corresponds with your garment's sizing.
Care:
To maintain the integrity and shape of the bra cups, hand wash garments containing them in cool water with mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or fabric softeners. Do not wring or twist the cups. Lay the garment flat to dry, away from direct heat or sunlight. Machine washing on a delicate cycle might be possible depending on the garment's fabric, but hand washing is always recommended for longevity.
