Learn how to wash, dry, and store your Curvy Bralette to maintain support and shape for DD+ cups. Simple care steps from Cosabella.

Quick Answer

To keep your Curvy Bralette’s shape and support for DD+ cups, hand wash it in cool water with a gentle lingerie detergent, then lay it flat to dry away from heat.

Why the Curvy Bralette Needs Special Care

The Curvy Bralette is designed with elastic at the bust, side slings, and a 4x2 hook-and-eye closure to support fuller figures. These construction details mean it can lose shape faster if you machine wash or tumble dry it. Treating it gently keeps the microfiber fabric smooth and the support layers intact.

Step-by-Step Care Routine

  1. Hand Wash in Cool Water: Fill a basin with cool water and add a teaspoon of gentle lingerie detergent. Submerge the bralette and gently swirl it for 2–3 minutes. Avoid wringing or scrubbing the cups. Common mistake: using hot water or regular detergent can fade color and weaken elastic.
  2. Rinse Thoroughly: Drain the soapy water and refill with fresh cool water. Swish the bralette until no suds remain. Repeat if needed. Checkpoint: leftover detergent can irritate skin and attract dirt.
  3. Press Out Excess Water: Roll the bralette in a clean, dry towel and press gently to absorb moisture. Never twist or wring the fabric. Common mistake: twisting can distort the side slings and elastic band.
  4. Lay Flat to Dry: Place the bralette on a drying rack or towel away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Reshape the cups and band while damp. Do not hang by the straps. Checkpoint: hanging can stretch out the straps and cause the band to lose its grip over time.
  5. Store Flat or Folded: Once dry, store the bralette in a drawer with the cups nested inside each other. Do not fold the cups in half or stack heavy items on top. Common mistake: cramming into a tight drawer can crush the microfiber and deform the elastic.

Product Details

  • Curvy Bralette: Made from 85% polyamide and 15% elastane with side slings for extra bust support. The elastane content gives the bralette its stretch and recovery, but heat and agitation can break down those fibers, leading to sagging.
