PERK BY KATE RATING GUIDE & FIT NOTES

Every brand has their own sizing idiosyncracies. While we try to be as general as possible, it is not 100% conclusive.

As such, we have come up with our own measurements, rating guide and fit notes, to assist you in your buying decision. Look out for them under each product description. Our rating guide comes with three components - coverage, support and stretch. Take note, a 4 stars rating for a specific style does not mean it is inferior to another with 5 stars. it is there to help you to choose better. Want a slimmer cup? Go for one with a coverage rating of 3 or 4 stars. Want a tighter band? Go for a bralette with a stretch rating of 3 or 4 stars. Hate tight underbands? Go for one with a stretch rating of 5 stars. Fuller bust? Choose one with a support rating of 5 stars. You get the gist. :)



DO YOU DO ALTERATIONS FOR BRALETTES?

We offer minor alteration services like fixing of straps or shortening of bands. We also offer refurbishing services for worn out bralettes! This is to ensure your favourite bra get to last as long as they can possibly can. Sewing pads on the cups of an unpadded bralette is not recommended. Also, not every piece is suitable for alteration due to their delicate nature, so email us at hello@perkbykate.com for enquiries.



HOW DO I TAKE CARE OF MY BRALETTES?

While throwing your bralettes in the machine is a tempting notion and done at your own risk, it is best to handwash them in cold water, and lay flat to dry. This will prevent eyelash lace especially, from curling. Do not soak your intimates for longer than 10 minutes. If your eyelash lace is curling up, flip the bralettes over and use a steam iron to smooth out the edges.

If in doubt about how colourfast a coloured lace is, do conduct a colourfast test on an inconspicuous part of the bralette before you wash it.



WHAT IF MY BRALETTES BECOME DAMAGED?

Various issues may occur due to wear and tear. Lace gets torn, hardware gets tarnished, straps may snap, fray, or lose their elasticity. While we had done our due diligence and made sure our pieces are of the best quality when they were sent to you, we are unable to control how our pieces act under various wear, wash and care conditions. What we can do, is to promise to do our best to restore your pieces back to their original glory. We are able to replace straps, hand sew and lightly mend torn laces, and do replacement of elastic bands and hardware.
