FAQs
What does a minimiser bra do?
A minimiser bra is designed to reduce the visual appearance of the bust by up to one size, creating a smoother silhouette under clothing without flattening the bust uncomfortably.
Is this bra suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, the combination of smooth cups, padded straps, and soft lining makes it comfortable for daily use.
How do I wash this bra correctly?
It is hand wash only. Use a mild detergent in cool water and lay flat or hang to air dry. Do not tumble dry.
Can I wear this bra under tight clothing?
Yes, the smooth cups are designed to be invisible under clothing, making it ideal for fitted tops and dresses.
What is the advantage of the wide padded straps?
The wide padded straps help to distribute weight more evenly across the shoulders, reducing pressure and increasing comfort, especially for larger cup sizes.
What materials is the bra made from?
The main fabric composition is 62% Polyamide, 20% Elastane, and 18% Polyester, exclusive of trims.
Can the underwire cause discomfort?
The underwire is designed to provide support. If you experience discomfort, ensure the bra is the correct size and the underwire is sitting properly against your ribcage.
Troubleshooting
Bra feels uncomfortable or digs in.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check that the straps are adjusted properly and not too tight. Make sure the underwire is sitting flat against the ribcage.
Straps are slipping.
Adjust the strap length. Ensure the back band is at the correct level (not too loose). Check that the fabric is clean and dry when putting it on.
Underwear lines are visible under clothing.
The smooth cup design should minimize this. Ensure the bra fits correctly and there are no bulges. Consider wearing smoother, thinner fabrics over the bra.
Bra loses shape after washing.
Follow the hand wash only and do not tumble dry instructions carefully. Avoid wringing or stretching the bra during washing and drying.
