FAQs
What is the main benefit of this bra?
The main benefit is its ability to minimize the appearance of the bust by up to one size, providing a smoother silhouette under clothing, alongside comfortable support.
Can I machine wash this bra?
No, this bra must be hand washed only. Machine washing and tumble drying can damage the fabric and components.
Will this bra make my bust look flat?
It is designed to minimize the appearance by up to one size, creating a smoother, more streamlined shape, rather than making the bust appear completely flat.
Are the straps adjustable?
Yes, the front straps are padded for comfort and feature adjusters to customize the fit.
What does 'smoothing' refer to in the product name?
It refers to the smooth, molded cups and the overall design that creates a seamless and smooth appearance under clothing, minimizing bulges or lines.
Is this bra suitable for larger cup sizes?
Yes, the design includes wide wires and a supportive wing, catering to various sizes, including larger cups, to provide necessary support.
What material is the bra made from?
The bra is primarily made from Polyamide, Elastane, and Polyester, with soft liners for added comfort.
Troubleshooting
Straps digging into shoulders
Adjust the strap length using the sliders. Ensure the bra band is at the correct level and not too loose.
Bra feels unsupportive
Check if the band is fastened correctly and sitting parallel to the ground. Ensure the cups are fully encompassing the breast. The underwires should lie flat against the ribcage.
Visible lines under clothing
Ensure the cups are the correct size and the bra is smoothed properly against the body. The high-coverage and smooth cup design should prevent this.
Discomfort around the underwire
Verify the underwire is sitting correctly in the cradle, directly under the breast tissue, not on it. Ensure the bra size is correct and the band is not too tight.

Care Instructions:
- Washing: Hand wash only. Use a mild detergent in cool or lukewarm water.
