FAQs
Is the Adella Athena bra padded?
No, the Adella Athena bra is a non-padded, underwired style designed to offer support and shape through its construction rather than padding.
How do I find the correct size?
Refer to the Curvy Kate size guide, which typically involves measuring your band size (ribcage) and cup size (bust). The Adella Athena is available in a wide range of band and cup sizes, including fuller options.
What material is the bra made of?
The main fabric is 100% Polyester, with lace made of 88% Polyamide and 12% Elastane. The lining is 100% Polyamide, and the wing mesh is 88% Polyamide and 12% Elastane.
How often should I wash this bra?
It's recommended to hand wash the bra after every few wears, or more frequently if active, to maintain hygiene and fabric integrity. Always follow the specific care instructions for longevity.
Can I wear this bra for daily activities?
Yes, the Adella Athena is designed for everyday wear, offering secure coverage, uplift, and comfort with its wide straps and supportive wings.
What is the closure type?
The bra fastens with a 3-hook, 3-column closure, allowing for adjustable fit.
Does this bra offer good side support?
Yes, the deep powermesh wings are designed to provide excellent side support and smoothing, contributing to a secure and comfortable fit.
Troubleshooting
Straps are digging in or slipping
Adjust the strap length using the sliders. Ensure the bra band is sitting comfortably at the back and not too low. If straps continue to slip, ensure the cup size is correct.
Bra feels uncomfortable or lacks support
Check the band size and ensure it is snug but not tight. Verify that the cups are fully encasing the breast tissue without spillage or gaping. The underwire should lie flat against the ribcage.
Lace detailing feels itchy
This can sometimes occur with new lace. Wear the bra for short periods initially to allow it to soften with wear, or try hand washing it with a gentle fabric softener designed for delicates.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The Adella Athena bra is designed to be worn with a wide range of clothing. Its smooth silhouette and supportive structure make it suitable for t-shirts, blouses, dresses, and more. It is recommended to coordinate with the Adella Kin full brief for a complete, matching set.
