FAQs
What material is the Olivia bra made from?
The bra is primarily made from 90% Polyamide and 10% Elastane, featuring bold floral lace.
Can I put this bra in the washing machine?
No, this bra must be hand washed only. Machine washing can damage the delicate lace and underwire.
Is the Olivia bra padded?
No, the Olivia bra is a non-padded style, designed to offer a natural shape and feel.
What does 'plunge' mean in bra terminology?
A plunge bra has a low center gore (the part between the cups) and cups cut deeper, making it ideal for wearing with lower-cut necklines.
How do I know if I have the right size?
A well-fitting bra should have the band sitting level and snug on your back, the cups fully containing the breast without spilling over, and the straps should not dig in or slip.
Can I wear this bra under very tight clothing?
Yes, the fine lace and non-padded design are intended to lie smoothly under clothing, minimizing visible lines.
What should I do if the underwire is uncomfortable?
An uncomfortable underwire usually indicates an improper fit or a damaged wire. Check the bra's fit in the band and cups. If the wire seems bent or broken, the bra may need replacement.
Troubleshooting
Bra straps keep slipping.
Ensure the straps are adjusted to the correct length. If they continue to slip, check that the bra band is fitted correctly and consider if a different size or style might be more suitable.
Underwire feels uncomfortable or pokes.
This may indicate an incorrect size or that the underwire is damaged. Ensure the bra fits correctly in the band and cups. If the underwire appears bent or broken, the bra may need to be replaced.
Lace appears stretched or damaged after washing.
Ensure you are following the hand wash only and do not tumble dry instructions carefully. Harsh detergents or rough handling during washing can damage the delicate lace.
Bra doesn't feel supportive enough.
Check that the band is snug against your body and the cups are fully encompassing the bust. The fit might be incorrect, or this style may not offer sufficient support for your needs.
