Full details

Its key benefit is providing gentle projection and a rounded shape with excellent uplift, ensuring a confident fit.

FAQs
What makes this bra suitable for fuller figures?
The Adella Athena bra features a 4-part cup construction with laminated bottom cups for enhanced uplift and support, along with deep powermesh wings and wide non-slip straps, all designed to accommodate and support larger cup sizes securely and comfortably.
Is this bra padded?
No, the Adella Athena bra is a non-padded style. It offers support and shaping through its construction rather than padding.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to a reliable bra sizing guide and measure your band and cup size accurately. For this specific bra, the 36HH is available, but consulting sizing charts for Adella products is recommended for the best fit.
Can I machine wash this bra?
Hand washing is strongly recommended to maintain the bra's shape and support. If using a machine, use a gentle cycle with cool water and a mesh laundry bag, but avoid tumble drying.
What is the purpose of the side support feature?
The side support is integrated into the bra's design to help center and uplift the bust, providing a more rounded shape and preventing outward breast tissue spread, enhancing overall support and silhouette.
How should the straps be adjusted?
Adjust the sliders on the straps so they are snug but comfortable, with the bra band sitting parallel to the top edge of the band. The straps should not dig into your shoulders or slip down.
What materials are used in this bra?
The bra is made from a blend of Polyester, Polyamide, and Elastane. Specifically, the main fabric is 100% Polyester, the lace is 88% Polyamide and 12% Elastane, the lining is 100% Polyamide, and the wing mesh is 88% Polyamide and 12% Elastane.
Troubleshooting
Straps keep slipping down
Ensure straps are adjusted correctly and not too loose. Check that the bra band is sitting firmly on your ribcage. If slippage persists, the bra might be the wrong size or shape for you.
Bra band rides up in the back
The band is likely too loose. Try adjusting to a tighter hook setting or consider a smaller band size. Ensure the wings are pulled down smoothly.
Underwire feels uncomfortable or digs in
Ensure the underwire is sitting correctly in the cradle beneath the breast tissue. If discomfort persists, the bra may not be the correct fit for your shape, or you might prefer a non-wired style.
Breasts are not fully contained by the cups
The cup size may be too small, or you may need a different bra style. Ensure all breast tissue from the underarm and top of the cup is scooped into the bra.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
