FAQs

Is this bra padded?

No, the Adella Athena Side Support Bra is non-padded, offering a natural shape and feel.

What material is the bra made from?

The main fabric is 100% Polyester, with lace detailing made of 88% Polyamide and 12% Elastane. The lining is 100% Polyamide, and the wing mesh is 88% Polyamide and 12% Elastane.

How do I find the correct size?

Refer to the Adella size chart, which typically involves measuring your band size and cup size. Ensure the bra fits snugly around the band and the cups fully contain the breast without gapping or spillage.

What is the benefit of the side support design?

The side support feature, combined with the 4-part cup, helps to gently pull the breast tissue towards the center, creating a rounded shape and preventing outward projection, which enhances comfort and fit for fuller figures.

Can I machine wash this bra?

Hand washing in cool water with a mild detergent is highly recommended to maintain the bra's shape and material integrity. Avoid machine washing and tumble drying.

What is the closure type?

The bra fastens with 3 hooks across 3 columns, allowing for adjustable fit.

Does this bra offer a smooth silhouette under clothing?

Yes, the combination of the full cup design, powermesh wings, and non-padded cups generally helps to create a smooth silhouette under most garments.

Troubleshooting

Straps digging into shoulders

Adjust the strap length using the sliders. Ensure the band is sitting correctly at the base of your bra and not too low. The bra might be too large in the back or too small in the cup.

Band riding up

The band may be too loose. Try using the tightest hook setting. Ensure the powermesh wings are sitting flat against the body.

Underwire discomfort

Ensure the underwire is sitting correctly in the bra's cradle, not on the breast tissue. The size might be incorrect; the underwire channel should fully encompass the breast base.

Lack of support

Check that the bra is the correct size and that all components (cups, band, straps) are providing adequate tension and lift. Ensure the fastening hooks are securely done up.

Pros and Cons

  • Excellent support and uplift for fuller figures.
  • Comfortable wide straps that stay in place.

Care:
