Ann Summers Sexy Lace Padded Basque - Red - 18

It is crucial to take accurate measurements of your bust, waist, and hips. Refer to the Ann Summers size guide, paying close attention to both band and cup measurements for basques, as they combine both elements.

Yes, absolutely. While the suspender straps are designed for stockings, the basque can be worn on its own for support and style under clothing or as a standalone piece. The straps can be left unattached.

The description states 'mini removable pads' which suggests they are inserts that can be taken out before washing. This helps in maintaining their shape and cleanliness.

Yes, the product description highlights its comfort for 'every day, every night, and every body'. Its supportive design makes it versatile for both daily wear and special occasions.

The lace is made from 50% recycled fibers, and the mesh from a minimum of 70% recycled yarns. This means a portion of the materials used in the basque comes from recycled sources, contributing to reduced environmental impact.

The basque is designed to be worn with 'your choice of Sexy Lace Brief' from Ann Summers, ensuring a perfectly coordinated and comfortable matching set.

Ensure you are using the correct hook-and-eye setting. If still tight, check your measurements against the size guide or consider a different size. Sometimes a wider set of hooks can alleviate pressure.

Adjust the shoulder straps to ensure they are firm but not pulling too tightly. If they still dig in, the band may be too loose, causing the straps to overcompensate. If slipping, ensure they are tightened enough and consider if the strap adjusters are faulty or the wrong style for your shoulder shape.

If gapping, the cup size might be too large; try removing the mini removable pads for a better fit or consider a smaller cup size. If overflowing, the cup size is likely too small, or the basque isn't pulled up high enough to encompass the bust fully.

Ensure the suspender clips are properly engaged with the stocking top. Check if the stocking top is thick enough for the clips to grip securely. Adjust the strap length to provide enough tension to hold the stockings up without tearing them.

Always hand wash the basque gently. Avoid washing with items that have zippers or rough textures. If machine washing (not recommended), use a lingerie bag on a delicate cycle.
