FAQ’s

Why are first bras padded or moulded?

Simply put, the padded cups hide the nipples from showing through school uniforms and day to day outfits. The moulded cup also allows for a smooth and seamless look from clothing worn on top.

Should My First Bra Have An Underwire?

You will only need an underwire bra if you are a fuller cup and need the additional support. Starting with a non-underwire bra will allow you to get used to wearing a bra daily as well as offering support and slight compression to reduce breast bounce.

Do bras stunt breast growth?

The bra a girl wears doesn’t have an affect on the rate of which her breast grows. A females breasts are determined by her genes and hormones however a well fitting bra can be used to enhance or minimise the bust.

How many bras does a teen need?

When first starting out your bra collection, it’s more important to begin getting used to wearing bras. At Illusions Lingerie we suggest that a few everyday bras (beige, black, and white) and 1 or 2 sports bras will suffice.

Can I wear a sports bra as an everyday bra?

We don’t recommend wearing a sports bra everyday. Allowing your breasts to have a break from being restricted and to be supported by an everyday bra is the way to go.
