FAQs
What makes this bra 'full coverage'?
Full coverage means the bra cups are designed to encompass the entire breast, providing a secure and contained fit with no spillage from the top or sides.
Is this bra suitable for very large busts?
The Yvonne bra is designed for adult women and offers full coverage. While it is non-wired, support levels can vary. It's best to check reviews or consult sizing charts for specific support expectations.
Can I wear this bra under a t-shirt?
Due to its non-padded nature and decorative lace, it may not provide a perfectly smooth silhouette under very thin or tight t-shirts. It is better suited for casual wear or under slightly looser tops.
What does OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification mean for this bra?
This certification means the bra has been tested and verified to be free from harmful substances, ensuring it is safe for your skin.
How do I determine my correct band and cup size?
Measure around your ribcage just under your bust for the band size, and around the fullest part of your bust for the cup size. Compare these measurements to the brand's sizing chart.
Can the lace be irritating?
The lace is designed with Broderie Anglaise detail. While generally comfortable, individuals with extremely sensitive skin might want to try it on first or follow care instructions diligently to maintain softness.
Troubleshooting
Bra feels too tight or too loose.
Adjust the hook and eye fastening. If the issue persists, double-check your band and cup size. The straps can also be adjusted for a better fit.
Straps are digging in.
Ensure the straps are not overtightened. Adjust them to a comfortable level. If the band is riding up, the band size might be too large, requiring a smaller band size.
Lace is snagging or pulling.
Handle the bra with care when washing and wearing. Avoid contact with sharp objects. Use a delicate cycle or hand wash and a laundry bag.
Fabric feels uncomfortable after washing.
Follow the care instructions precisely. Avoid high heat drying or harsh detergents, which can degrade the fabric's softness.
