Please note that if a seamstress, tailor, or dress consultant is suggesting a longline, they're probably not aware of the limited sizing pertaining to longlines.

    MAINTENANCE

  • Can I Wear The Same Bra Everyday?
  • Technically yes, but we advise against it! If you have a favorite bra then great! But do remember that your favorite bra will not last as long if you have no other bras in rotation...especially in between washes.

  • How Many Bras Should I Own?
  • We have always believed that you need 7-10 bras, with 3-5 for everyday wear in rotation.

  • When Do I Wash My Bra And How I Do Wash It?
  • You should wash your bra every 2-3 wears depending on your personal hygiene and lifestyle. Remember a bra is considered underwear as well! Washing in the machine is fine as long as you use a mesh bag, gentle detergent and never use your drying machine (fine in a pinch but do know that the heat will break down the fibers and elasticity). Handwashing is usually the best recommended way to take care of your undergarments so they last you!

  • How Long Should A Bra Last?
  • Our rule of thumb is a bra shouldn’t celebrate more than 2 anniversaries (unless you have dozens that rarely get worn in rotation).

  • I Heard/Read That Underwires Cause Breast Cancer And Women Shouldn’t Wear Them, Is That True?
  • No, that isn’t true. There is no scientific evidence that correlates the wearing of bras with wires (or any specific kind of bra) with breast cancer. Many different breast cancer organizations/outlets have all disproved that myth!

  • How Many Times Should I Get Fitted If I’m On A Weight Loss Journey?
  • A bra size can change with every 8-10lbs of weight loss. You’ll be able to see or feel the difference in your bras and how they fit. Once you notice major fit issues is when you should get refitted. That includes your sports bras!

  • How Do I Know If A Bra Fits?
  • If you have any of these issues: Cup overflow - Cup under filled - Straps falling down even on it’s tightest adjustment - Backband rises up - Front center of bra doesn’t touch chestplate
