Fitting

The underband of your bra should fit comfortably around your body in a horizontal line. We recommend fastening the bra on the loosest set of hooks. Underbands loosen with time and wear, so you should adjust your hook and eye towards the tightest set of hooks over your bra’s lifetime. If the underband of your bra is riding up at the back, this usually indicates that the underband is too large, so you may want to try a smaller underband size (i.e., 32, 34, 36).

If the cup is fitting well however, you will need to go up one cup size whilst going down one underband size - for example, if your 34C is too loose in the underband but perfect in the cup, try a 32D instead. If you find the underband is feeling too tight, try going up an underband size, and down a cup size if the cup still fits well - for example, a 32D would then go up to the 34C.

The Straps

If you find your straps are digging in to your shoulders, please check your band fits properly, as this may mean the band is too loose, forcing the straps to take on too much pressure to support your breasts. If this is not the case, try adjusting the back of your straps for a more comfortable fit.

The Underwire

Underwire should lie flat against your chest at the centre front, and contain all of your breast tissue within them at the side. If you find the wires are digging in to the side of your breasts, not lying against your ribcage, see if a larger cup size will work better for you.

The Cup

The cup should fully contain your breast tissue. There should be no spilling over the top, or loose fabric. If your cup is too loose or appears to gape, try a smaller cup size. If you find your breast spills over the top of the cup, try a larger cup size.

How To Care For Your Lingerie

1. HAND WASHING: We will always recommend you hand wash your wired bras to ensure its delicate fabric stays in great form. This allows you to get the most wear out of your bras, as over time, repeated laundry spins will cause wires to come out or distort.

2. ACCESSORIES: Purchase some delicates mesh laundry bags. These allow your wireless bras & panties to stay safe in the washing machine.

3. PREPARATION: Separate your bras into one delicates bag, and your panties into another. Make sure your bra clasps are fastened CLOSED.

4. WASHING: Once in the washing machine, use a 'delicates' or 'hand wash' cycle, no higher than 30°C (86°F) and a low spin.

5. DRYING: Once your wash is complete, ALWAYS hang your bras and panties dry, or lay them flat in a sunny area. Do not tumble dry and do not iron. Also, hang away from direct heat to preserve color.

6. FOLDING: To fold your soft cup bras, fasten the clasp, fold the cups together then fold the back into the cup. Always store padded/moulded cups flat. Fold panties into 3.

Always dispose of underwear sustainably, find a local bra donation charity, or find another use for components like straps, wires, or hooks and only dispose of minimal materials.
