FAQs
What does a minimiser bra do?
A minimiser bra is designed to redistribute breast tissue to create a visually smaller and more streamlined appearance, reducing the perceived size of the bust by up to one cup size.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The band should fit snugly around your ribcage, sitting parallel to the ground. The cups should fully enclose your breasts without spillage or gaping. The centre gore should lie flat against your sternum.
Can I machine wash this bra?
No, hand washing is strongly recommended to preserve the bra's shape, support, and delicate materials. Machine washing, especially tumble drying, can damage the bra.
Will the mesh detail be visible under tight clothing?
While the cups themselves are designed to be smooth and invisible, the mesh detail on the cups and centre front may be subtly visible under very thin or tight-fitting garments. However, it is generally discreet.
What material is the bra made of?
The bra is made from a blend of 62% Polyamide, 20% Elastane, and 18% Polyester, exclusive of trims.
What is the benefit of wide padded straps?
Wide padded straps help to distribute weight more evenly across the shoulders, reducing pressure points and enhancing comfort, especially for fuller busts.
Can this bra be worn for everyday activities?
Yes, the design prioritizes comfort and support, making it suitable for daily wear. The smooth cups and minimiser effect offer a practical solution for many outfits.
Troubleshooting
Bra feels uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check that the straps are adjusted properly and not too tight. The underwire should sit flat against your body.
Straps digging into shoulders
Adjust the strap length to a more comfortable setting. The wide padded straps should provide adequate support without digging in.
Visible lines under clothing
Ensure the cup size is correct and the smooth cups are sitting flat. The minimising effect naturally alters shape, but lines can indicate an improper fit.
Bra losing shape after washing
Always follow the hand wash and do not tumble dry instructions carefully. Reshape the bra while damp and lay flat to dry.
