SHOPPING & ORDERS

No worries, we got you covered! Finding the right size ain't easy and that's why we have simplified sizes at Understatement as finding the right bralette or panties shouldn't be a miracle or painful. Just choose from XS to XXXL and that's it (please note that we don't offer all products in all sizes yet but are aiming to get this done as we speak).

Here are some tips: 

  • Use the body measurement and check the size guide to get the right size
  • The Support+ Bralette is prefect if you have a fuller cup and want that little extra support 
  • If you like Triangle Bralette but prefer a bit more cover, try our Balconette or Plunge bralette
  • If you have tried our product but with the underband ride up, properly means it is too loose. Try to close it on a smaller hook or going down a size
  • Find more details in the Panty Guide or Bralette Guide

Keep your Understatement pieces looking fresh and lasting longer with these care tips:

1. Wash at a Cold Temperature:
We recommend washing at a maximum of 30°C/86°F.
Cold washing is gentler on your panties and better for the environment. Hand wash for all silk items
2. Use a Laundry Wash Bag: Place your pieces in a laundry wash bag to protect the fabric and prevent damage to delicate garments.
3. Check the Product Page: For specific care instructions, refer to the WEAR & CARE section under each product on our website.
4. Do not bleach, do not tumble dry, do not iron, do not dry clean.
5. Use mild laundry detergent

If you have a discount code, please enter it at the checkout page and click on apply. See this screenshot for reference.

Please note that it is not possible to add a discount code once the order has been placed. Discount codes cannot be used in conjunction with any other offers, sale items or special promotions.

At the moment we unfortunately do not offer customized gift wrapping but are working hard on making this possible.
