FAQs
What makes this bra suitable for fuller busts?
The Berlei Embrace Side Support Bra features specially constructed cups designed to maximize forward projection and uplift. It also includes a laminated side support panel in all sizes to enhance lift and prevent outward spreading of breast tissue.
Can I wear this bra for everyday activities?
Yes, this bra is designed for everyday smooth support. Its comfortable construction and reliable hold make it suitable for daily wear.
Is this bra padded?
No, this is a non-padded bra, designed to provide a natural shape and feel.
How should I wash my Berlei Embrace bra?
The bra is hand wash only. Use a mild detergent in cool water and avoid wringing. Lay flat or hang to dry.
What should I do if the bra doesn't feel supportive enough?
Ensure you have selected the correct bra size (both band and cup). The underwire should encircle the breast tissue, and the band should sit firmly and level on your back. Adjusting the straps may also help.
Can I put this bra in the dryer?
No, absolutely not. Do not tumble dry the bra, as the heat can damage the straps and rings, potentially causing them to break.
What are the material components of the bra?
The bra is made of 70% Polyamide, 17% Elastane, and 13% Polyester, exclusive of trims.
Troubleshooting
Straps digging into shoulders
Adjust the straps to a looser setting. Ensure the bra band is sitting comfortably and not too low.
Bra band riding up
The band may be too large or not properly positioned. Ensure the band is level with your back and try a tighter hook setting, or consider a smaller band size if persistent.
Lack of support or projection
Verify you are wearing the correct cup and band size. Ensure the center gore is sitting flat against the sternum and the underwire is comfortably positioned around the breast tissue.
Underwire discomfort
Ensure the underwire channels are fully encasing the breast tissue and are not sitting on top of it. If discomfort persists, the size may not be correct or the bra style might not suit your shape.
