FAQs

What are the main materials used in this basque?

The basque is made with lace that uses 50% recycled fibers and mesh that is made from a minimum of 70% recycled yarns. The overall fabric is listed as Linen, which is an unusual attribute for this type of product but is what's specified.

Can I remove the padding from the cups?

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

How do I ensure I get the correct size?

For best results, refer to the Ann Summers sizing guide. Pay close attention to both bust and band measurements. If unsure, consider visiting a store for a professional fitting.

Is this basque suitable for everyday wear?

Yes, the updated styling and improved fit across all shapes and sizes are designed to be comfortable enough for every day, as well as special occasions.

How do I attach stockings to the basque?

The basque has integrated suspender straps. Simply attach the top band of your stockings to the clips on these straps, ensuring even tension for a smooth look.

What is the keyhole cut-out feature on the back?

The keyhole cut-out is a stylistic detail on the semi-sheer mesh reverse, adding an alluring design element to the back of the basque.

How should I wash this basque?

Hand washing in cool water with a mild detergent is recommended to preserve the delicate lace and mesh. Air dry only; do not machine wash, tumble dry, or iron.

Troubleshooting

The basque feels uncomfortable or is digging in.

Check the hook and eye closure; it might be too tight. Try loosening it one notch. Also, ensure the shoulder straps are adjusted correctly – too tight can cause digging, too loose can affect support. The underwire should sit flat against your ribcage, not on breast tissue.

The cups are gapping or not providing enough uplift.

If cups are gapping, the cup size might be too large, or the straps might be too loose. Tighten the shoulder straps. If more uplift is desired, ensure the removable mini pads are inserted correctly for a push-up effect. If still gapping, consider a smaller cup size.

The basque is riding up or not staying in place.

This often indicates the band is too loose. Try fastening the hook and eye closure on a tighter setting. Ensure the basque is pulled down fully when put on. If consistently riding up, the overall size might be too large.

Care Instructions

To maintain the quality and longevity of your Ann Summers Sexy Lace Padded Basque, follow these care guidelines:

Hand Wash Recommended: Due to the delicate lace and mesh materials, hand washing in cool water with a mild detergent is highly recommended.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or harsh stain removers, as these can damage the fabric and elastic.
Gentle Drying: Gently squeeze out excess water. Do not wring or twist. Lay flat or hang to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat.
Ironing: Do not iron. The delicate lace and mesh are not suitable for ironing.
Storage: Store flat or folded gently to prevent damage to the cups or lace details. Avoid cramming into drawers to maintain shape.
