Setup and Sizing
Achieving the correct fit is essential for comfort and support. Please refer to the size chart below and follow the measurement guidelines.
Measuring for Your Bra Size:
- Band Size (Under Bust): Measure around your rib cage directly under your bust, keeping the tape measure snug and level. Round to the nearest whole inch.
- Bust Size (UK Bust): Measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape measure level across your back.
- Cup Size: Subtract your band size from your bust size. Each inch difference corresponds to a cup size (e.g., 1 inch = A cup, 2 inches = B cup, 3 inches = C cup, etc.).

Operating Instructions
Once you have determined your correct size, follow these steps for comfortable wear:
- Adjust Straps: Before putting on the bra, adjust the shoulder straps to a comfortable length. The straps should be snug enough to provide support without digging into your shoulders.
- Position Cups: Lean forward slightly and scoop your breasts into the cups, ensuring they are fully encased and the underwire lies flat against your rib cage, not on breast tissue.
- Secure Closure: Fasten the hook-and-eye closure at the back. Start with the loosest setting to ensure a comfortable band fit. The band should be level across your back and not ride up.
- Check Fit: Stand upright and check the fit. The center gore (the fabric between the cups) should lie flat against your sternum. The U-back design is intended to provide a smooth look under clothing, minimizing bulges.

Maintenance and Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the shape of your Bali bra.
Washing Instructions:
- Hand Wash Only: It is recommended to hand wash your bra to preserve its delicate materials and shape.
- Use mild detergent and lukewarm water.
- Gently knead the bra in the soapy water, focusing on areas that need cleaning.
- Rinse thoroughly with cool water until all soap is removed.
Drying Instructions:
- Do not wring or twist the bra.
- Gently press out excess water with a clean towel.
- Reshape the cups and lay the bra flat or hang it to air dry.
- Do not put the bra in a dryer, as high heat can damage elastic and fabric, and alter the bra's shape.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your bra's fit or comfort, consider the following common solutions:
- Straps Digging In or Too Short: Ensure straps are adjusted to their full length. If they still feel too short or dig in, the band size might be too loose, causing the straps to bear too much weight. Re-evaluate your band size.
- Bra Band Riding Up at the Back: This indicates the band is too loose. Try fastening the bra on a tighter hook-and-eye setting. If it's already on the tightest setting, a smaller band size may be needed.
- Cups Gaping or Wrinkling: This suggests the cup size is too large. Try a smaller cup size. Ensure breasts are fully scooped into the cups.
- Cups Overflowing or Breast Tissue Bulging: This indicates the cup size is too small. Try a larger cup size.
- Underwire Poking or Digging: The underwire should lie flat against your rib cage. If it's digging, the cup size might be too small, or the band might be too tight. Adjust or consider a different size.
- Stiff Padding or Uncomfortable Elastic: Initial stiffness can sometimes soften with wear and washing. Ensure care instructions are followed. If discomfort persists, the material composition might not be suitable for your preference.
