FAQs
What is the main benefit of the Adella Athena bra?
The main benefit is its design for fuller figures, offering secure coverage, uplift, and gentle projection for a rounded shape, ensuring comfortable support throughout the day.
Is this bra padded?
No, the Adella Athena bra is non-padded. It features a 4-part cup construction with laminated bottom cups for uplift and shaping.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
It's recommended to measure your band size (underbust) and cup size (overbust) accurately. The band should fit snugly and level, and the cups should fully contain the breast tissue without gapping or overflowing. Consulting a professional bra fitter is also advised.
What materials is the bra made from?
The main fabric is 100% Polyester. The lace is made of 88% Polyamide and 12% Elastane, and the lining and wing mesh are 100% Polyamide and 88% Polyamide/12% Elastane respectively (excluding trims).
Can I wear this bra for exercise?
This bra is designed for everyday support and comfort. While it offers good support, it is not specifically engineered as a sports bra for high-impact activities. For intense workouts, a dedicated sports bra is recommended.
How do I care for my Adella Athena bra?
Hand wash in cool water with mild detergent is recommended. Avoid bleach and do not tumble dry. Lay flat to dry away from direct heat.
What does 'Side Support' mean in the bra's name?
The 'Side Support' feature refers to the construction within the cups, particularly the laminated lower sections and side panels, which help to draw the bust forward and towards the center, providing additional uplift and a more projected, rounded shape.
Troubleshooting
Bra straps dig into shoulders
Ensure the straps are adjusted correctly. They should be snug but not tight. If the issue persists, check if the band size is correct, as a band that is too loose can cause straps to bear too much weight.
Underwire pokes or feels uncomfortable
This may indicate an incorrect cup or band size. Try adjusting the bra or consider if a different size or style would be a better fit. Ensure the underwire channels are not damaged.
Bra does not provide enough support
Verify that the band is sitting comfortably and securely on your ribcage. The majority of support comes from the band. Ensure the cups are fully encompassing the breast tissue and that the straps are properly adjusted.
Lace detail is visible through clothing
Consider wearing a thicker fabric or a smoother outer layer. For very fine or sheer garments, a plain, non-laced bra might be a more suitable option.
