This bra is lightly contoured, meaning that there’s a bit of structure to the material of the cup. That means amazing support and great coverage, but also that this bra needs a bit of special treatment. We recommend hand-washing in lukewarm water with an extra-gentle lingerie wash. Gently squeeze any water out of fabric, then lay flat on a towel to dry. Whatever you do, never put delicates in the dryer, even on the gentle cycle. We know it might be hard (especially for those of us with New York City sized closets), but if you can, store this contoured bra flat in a drawer. Finally, you may be a workaholic, but your bra isn’t. It needs a day or two off between each wear to return to its original shape. If you have any questions about bra care and storage, don’t hesitate to contact us.
