FAQs
How do I find my correct bra size?
Measure your band size by wrapping a soft tape measure around your ribcage directly under your bust. Measure your cup size by loosely measuring around the fullest part of your bust. Consult a size chart or a professional fitter for accurate measurements and recommendations.
What is the best way to wash this bra?
The bra should be hand-washed in cold or lukewarm water with a mild detergent. Gently squeeze out excess water and lay flat to dry. Do not wring or twist the bra.
Can I wear this bra for sports?
This bra is designed for everyday wear and offers good support. For high-impact sports, a specialized sports bra is recommended for optimal support and comfort.
What does 'full cup' mean?
A full cup bra provides complete coverage for the bust, offering maximum support and containment. It is ideal for larger busts or those seeking a very secure fit.
Why should I not tumble dry this bra?
Tumble drying can damage the elastic in the straps and band, melt or warp the underwires, and potentially harm the delicate lace panels. Air drying is essential for maintaining the bra's shape and integrity.
What is the difference between D-FF cups and G-J cups regarding fastening?
Sizes D through FF cups typically have a 2-hook fastening, while sizes G through J cups feature a 3-hook fastening for added support and a more secure fit.
What is the 'top cup lining' feature?
The top cup lining is present on sizes F-J cups. It provides an extra layer of support and shape to the upper part of the cup, contributing to a smoother finish.
Troubleshooting
Straps keep slipping
Ensure the straps are adjusted correctly. Use the center pull straps and tow back feature to secure them in place. If slipping persists, consider a different bra style or consult a professional for fitting advice.
Bra feels uncomfortable
Verify you have the correct size and fit. The underwire should lie flat against the ribcage, and the cups should fully enclose the breast. Adjust the straps and band for a snug but not tight fit.
Lace appears damaged
Handle the bra with care during washing and wearing. Avoid snagging the lace on sharp objects. If damage occurs, gentle hand repairs may be possible.
