FAQs

What makes this bra a 'plunge' style?

The 'plunge' style refers to the bra's cups and center gore, which are designed to be cut lower. This creates a deep V-shape, offering excellent uplift and cleavage, making it ideal for low-cut tops.

Can I machine wash this bra?

No, this bra is strictly hand wash only. Machine washing, especially with heat or agitation, can damage the delicate lace, underwire, and adjustable strap components.

What is the material of the bra?

The bra is primarily made from 90% Polyamide and 10% Elastane, providing a balance of durability, stretch, and softness.

Why should I avoid tumble drying?

Tumble drying can expose the bra's components, particularly the plastic rings and adjustable straps, to excessive heat. This can cause them to melt, warp, or break, compromising the bra's structure and fit.

How do I ensure I'm buying the right size?

Measure your band size and cup size accurately. Refer to the brand's sizing chart if available. Ensure the band is snug and level, and the cups fit smoothly without gapping or spilling.

Is the lace itchy?

The lace is designed to be soft and comfortable against the skin. However, individual sensitivity to materials can vary. The blend of Polyamide and Elastane aims to provide a smooth feel.

What does 'non-padded' mean?

'Non-padded' means the bra cups do not have any additional foam or padding. It relies on the construction of the fabric and the underwire to shape and support the bust.

Troubleshooting

Bra straps digging in

Adjust the shoulder straps to a comfortable tension. Ensure the bra band is sitting correctly on your ribcage.

Underwire poking out

This can sometimes happen with wear. Inspect the fabric around the underwire casing for tears. If minor, gentle stitching may help. If significant, the bra may need replacement.

Lace snagging or tearing

Handle the bra with care, especially when washing and drying. Avoid contact with sharp objects or rough surfaces. Minor tears may be mended with careful sewing.

Bra not providing enough support

Ensure you are wearing the correct size. The band should be snug, and the cups should fully enclose the breast. Adjust straps as needed.
