Curvy Kate Smoothie Underwired Strapless Bra - Black

Yes, Curvy Kate specializes in larger cup sizes, and this strapless bra is designed to offer support and shape for D+ cups.

It's recommended to measure your underbust for the band size and your overbust for the cup size. Refer to the Curvy Kate sizing guide for precise measurements. A snug band is crucial for strapless support.

This bra is primarily designed for strapless and standard strap configurations. It is not ideal for very low-back dresses as the band and hook-and-eye closure will be visible. Specialized low-back converters might be needed.

The inner side sling is a design feature that helps to push the breast tissue towards the center and upwards, creating a rounded shape and providing uplift without the need for traditional padding.

The silicone strips are designed to provide a secure grip against the skin, preventing the bra from slipping down. They are generally effective for most skin types, but ensuring the skin is clean and dry will maximize their performance.

No, it is strictly recommended to hand wash the bra. Machine washing, especially with the underwire and silicone, can damage the materials and the bra's structure.

The Curvy Kate Smoothie Underwired Strapless Bra features moulded cups for shape but does not have additional padding for significant enhancement or modesty.

Ensure the band is fastened on the tightest hook that is still comfortable. Check that the silicone strips are clean and dry. Ensure the correct size has been selected, as an ill-fitting band is the most common cause of slipping.

Adjust the strap length for a better fit. If wearing with a specific neckline, ensure the chosen strap configuration (multiway) is appropriate and correctly attached. If the issue persists, consider trying a different size or style.

Ensure the inner side sling is correctly positioned within the cup. Re-adjust the band and wings to ensure they are sitting correctly against the body, as band support is crucial for uplift. Verify that the cup size is correct.

Ensure the bra is perfectly smooth against the skin. Check that the garment's fabric is not too thin or clingy. While designed for seamlessness, extremely fine fabrics might still show slight indentations from the boning or wings.
