1. How Do I Find the Right Bra Size?

Finding the right lingerie size starts with knowing your measurements. A well-fitting bra or bralette can make all the difference in how you feel throughout the day. Here’s a quick guide:

• Measure your band size: Wrap a measuring tape snugly under your bust and round to the nearest inch.

• Measure your bust: Measure around the fullest part of your bust and round up.

• Find your cup size: Subtract your band size from your bust measurement.

2. How Should I Care for My Lingerie and Swimwear?

To keep your lingerie and swimwear looking new, proper care is essential:

• Hand wash in cold water with gentle detergent whenever possible, especially for delicate lace and padded pieces.

• Air dry flat, away from direct sunlight, to maintain the fabric’s elasticity and color.

• Avoid wringing out your items; gently press out excess water instead.

Taking care of your pieces ensures they last longer and maintain their shape and beauty.

3. Can I Wear a Bralette as Outerwear?

Absolutely! Bralettes aren’t just for underneath—it’s all about how you style them. Pair a delicate lace bralette with a sheer blouse, layer it under a blazer, or wear it solo with high-waisted pants for a chic, fashion-forward look. Our MAT Classic Milk Triangle Lace Bralette is perfect for this trend!

5. How Do I Know If My Bra Fits Properly?

A well-fitting bra should provide support without discomfort:

• The band should fit snugly around your ribcage without riding up or digging in.

• Cups should fully encase your breasts without any gaps or spillage.

6. What’s the Difference Between Lingerie Fabrics Like Lace, Satin, and Cotton?

The fabric of your lingerie can affect both comfort and style:

Lace: Delicate and elegant, lace adds a touch of romance but can be less stretchy. It’s perfect for special occasions or adding a feminine touch to your look.

Satin: Soft, smooth, and luxurious, satin feels amazing against the skin and looks glamorous, making it ideal for special lingerie pieces.

Cotton: Breathable, comfortable, and great for everyday wear. Cotton is perfect for those who prioritize comfort and softness.

7. How Do I Style a Swimsuit Beyond the Beach?

Swimwear isn’t just for the water—it can double as a stylish outfit component:

One-pieces can be worn as bodysuits; pair them with high-waisted shorts or a skirt.

Bikini tops can be styled under sheer blouses or blazers for a chic, casual look.

Cover-ups like kimonos or sarongs can be paired with jeans or shorts for an easy beach-to-street transition.

8. Can I Sleep in My Bra?

Sleeping in a bra is a personal choice and comfort is key:

Soft, wire-free bras or bralettes are ideal for sleeping, as they offer light support without constriction.

Avoid bras with underwires or tight bands while sleeping for maximum comfort.
