FAQs
How do I know if I'm wearing the correct size?
A well-fitting bra should have the band sitting snugly parallel to the ground, with the cups fully enclosing the breast without spillage or excessive wrinkling. The straps should not dig in, and the centre gore should lie flat against your sternum.
Can I machine wash this bra?
No, the Berlei Beauty Stripe Smoothing Bra is recommended for hand wash only to preserve its shape and fabric integrity.
What does 'minimises appearance of bust by up to one size' mean?
This means the bra is designed with features like full coverage and a specific cup construction to create a smoother, less prominent silhouette, potentially making your bust appear up to one standard bra size smaller.
Are the straps adjustable?
Yes, like most bras, the straps are adjustable to allow for a custom and comfortable fit.
What type of fabric is this bra made from?
While specific fabric composition can vary slightly by batch, the Berlei Beauty Stripe Smoothing Bra typically incorporates materials like polyester and nylon for comfort, support, and a smooth finish. Please refer to the care label for exact details.
Is this bra suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, this bra is designed for everyday wear, offering comfort and a smooth appearance under clothing.
Troubleshooting
Straps digging into shoulders
Adjust the bra band so it fits snugly but comfortably. If the issue persists, ensure you have the correct band size, as the band carries most of the support.
Bra not providing desired minimisation
Ensure the bra is the correct size and is fastened securely. The minimisation effect is designed to reduce appearance by up to one size; individual results may vary.
Visible lines under clothing
Ensure the bra cups are fitting correctly and the band is smooth against the skin. The high coverage design aims to minimise this.
