Product Information
Full details
The Curvy Kate Smoothie Strapless Bra is designed for women seeking a smooth, seamless foundation for a variety of outfits, offering excellent support up to a K cup. Its key benefit is its ultra-smooth, moulded T-shirt design that disappears under clothing, providing uplift and shape without visible lines. A potential caveat is the need for careful hand washing to maintain its delicate materials and silicone components.

FAQs
What is the best way to care for this strapless bra?
It is essential to hand wash the bra in cool water with a mild detergent and avoid tumble drying. Lay flat to dry away from heat.
Can this bra be worn with a very low-cut back?
The bra is designed for strapless wear and features multiway straps. While it can be worn in a standard configuration, its suitability for very low-cut backs depends on the specific garment and how the straps are adjusted.
Does the silicone grip cause skin irritation?
The silicone is generally well-tolerated, but individuals with highly sensitive skin may experience irritation. It is recommended to test wear for a short period initially. Ensure skin is clean and dry where the silicone makes contact.
What is the size range for this bra?
This bra is available in a wide range of sizes, offering support up to a K cup. Specific band and cup size availability can be found in the product sizing information.
How many hooks does the band have?
The number of hook and eye fastenings varies by size. Sizes 30-36 D-F use a 3-hook fastening, while all other sizes use a 4-hook fastening for increased security.
Can I wear this bra as a daily bra?
While it offers great support and comfort, the primary design is for specific outfits requiring a strapless solution. For daily wear, consider its comfort and support based on your needs.
Troubleshooting
Bra slips down or doesn't stay in place.
Ensure the silicone strips are clean and dry. Check that the band is fastened correctly and is not too loose. Ensure the bra is the correct size; a band that is too large will not stay up.
Straps are uncomfortable or dig in.
Adjust the strap length for a comfortable fit. Ensure the straps are positioned correctly for the chosen configuration. If the issue persists, consider if the bra size is correct.
Visible lines under clothing.
Ensure the moulded cups are sitting smoothly against the skin without any creasing. The bra should fit snugly but not be too tight.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Offers excellent support and shaping, even in larger cup sizes.
- The smooth, moulded design is ideal for wearing under form-fitting clothing.
- Silicone grips ensure the bra stays in place without slipping.
- Multiway straps provide versatility for different outfits.
- Comfortable for all-day wear due to soft materials and thoughtful construction.
Cons
- Requires hand washing to maintain its integrity and silicone properties.
- May not provide sufficient compression for those seeking a minimizer effect.
- The moulded cups offer less flexibility in fit compared to unlined bras.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Attach the multiway straps as needed (standard, halter, cross-back, strapless). Ensure they are securely fastened to the bra loops.
- Fasten the bra using the hook and eye closure at the back. Note that the number of hooks varies by size (3 hooks for sizes 30-36 D-F, 4 hooks for others).
Compatibility:
- Designed to be worn strapless, with standard straps, halter straps, or cross-back straps.
- Suitable for a wide range of necklines, from deep V to off-the-shoulder.
- The smooth, moulded cups are compatible with thin and form-fitting fabrics.
Care Instructions:
- Hand wash only using mild detergent in cool water. Rinse thoroughly.
- Do not tumble dry. The heat can damage the silicone strips and plastic rings, potentially causing them to break.
- Lay flat or hang to dry, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach.
