FAQs

What is the Marseille collection known for?

The Marseille collection is recognized for its iconic embroidery, blend of superfine mesh, and provocative design elements, offering a sophisticated and alluring aesthetic.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the brand's specific size chart. Measure your underbust for the band size and your bust for the cup size. For basques, ensuring a smooth fit across the torso is also important.

Can this be worn as outerwear?

While primarily designed as lingerie, the elegant design with embroidery and mesh can be styled as a statement piece under sheer tops or blazers for a fashionable look.

What is the difference between a basque and a corset?

A basque is typically a shorter garment, ending at the hips, and is often designed with the intention of being worn with stockings. A corset is usually longer and more structured, designed for significant waist cinching.

Is the embroidery durable?

The Marseille embroidery is designed to be a key feature. However, like all delicate embellishments, it requires careful handling and adherence to washing instructions to maintain its appearance.

What kind of support does the wired design offer?

The underwire provides lift and shape to the bust, creating a flattering silhouette and offering moderate support. It is designed to complement the overall aesthetic of the garment.

Troubleshooting

Straps digging into shoulders

Adjust the shoulder straps to a looser setting. Ensure the garment is the correct size to avoid excess tension.

Band feels too tight or loose

Check the fit of the band. If it's too tight, consider a larger band size. If too loose, a smaller band size might be necessary. Ensure clasps are fastened correctly.

Embroidery or mesh snagging

Handle with care during wear and washing. Avoid sharp jewelry or rough surfaces that could catch the delicate fabric.

Underwire discomfort

Ensure the correct cup size and band size are selected. The underwire should encase the breast tissue smoothly without digging into the skin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This is a pre-formed garment, so 'setup' refers primarily to proper fitting.

  1. Adjust Straps: Loosen or tighten the shoulder straps to achieve a comfortable and secure fit. The straps should lie flat against the shoulders without digging in.
  2. Fasten Clasps: If the basque features back clasps, fasten them securely, ensuring the garment lies smoothly against the body.

Compatibility:

  • Designed for adult female wear.
  • Pairs well with matching briefs or thongs from the Marseille collection.
  • Can be worn as lingerie or as a feature piece under sheer clothing.

Care Instructions:

  • Hand Wash Cold: It is recommended to hand wash the basque in cold water with a mild detergent.
  • Do Not Bleach: Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the delicate fabrics and embroidery.
  • Do Not Tumble Dry: Lay flat or hang to dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
  • Do Not Iron: Avoid ironing to preserve the integrity of the mesh and embroidery.
