FAQs

Can this basque be worn as everyday shapewear?

The Marseille Wired Basque is designed primarily as a statement lingerie piece or for special occasions, focusing on aesthetics and decorative appeal rather than long-term, everyday shaping support.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to the Bluebella sizing chart and take accurate measurements, particularly for the underbust, waist, and hips. The fit of a basque can be specific, so consulting the provided size guide is essential.

What is the best way to wash the basque?

Hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and tumble drying. Lay flat to dry away from direct heat, and reshape while damp.

Are the suspender straps removable?

The product description indicates adjustable suspender straps, but not that they are removable. They are designed to be used with hosiery.

Can I wear this under a tight dress?

The basque has intricate embroidery and adjustable straps which can sometimes show through very thin or tight fabrics. It is often best suited for pairing with slightly looser, sheerer, or open-backed garments.

What is the return policy if the fit isn't right?

Please refer to the specific retailer's return policy for information on exchanges or returns due to sizing issues.

Does the underwiring provide significant support?

Yes, the underwiring in the plunging cups is designed to lift and support the natural curves, offering shaping and definition.

Troubleshooting

Straps digging in

Adjust the shoulder or suspender straps to a looser setting for a more comfortable fit. Ensure the correct size is being worn.

Fit is not as expected

Double-check the size guide and measure accurately. Adjust all straps and the back closure to achieve the best fit. Consider trying a different size if issues persist.

Embroidery snagged or pulled

Carefully trim any snagged threads with sharp scissors without pulling. Avoid catching the embroidery on sharp objects or rough surfaces.

Hook and eye closure is difficult to fasten

Ensure the garment is aligned correctly before fastening. Start from the bottom hooks and work your way up. If difficult, try fastening slightly looser and then adjusting.
