Selene Bras

Which style to choose

The most interesting pieces are the soft, wire-free models in larger cups. Without a wire, the whole of the support has to come from the construction: a cup seamed from several panels, a wide underband, a high side panel under the arm and wider straps. That is why there are so few models like this above a D cup on the market.

Polyamide with elastane, lace and microfibre dominate the compositions. Smooth versions work under fitted clothes, lace ones as part of a set.

Start with the band: it should sit horizontally and pull away by no more than two fingers. If it rides up your back, drop one band size and go up a letter. Wash in a bag at 30 degrees, fastened. Dispatch in 1-2 working days, free delivery from PLN 199, 14-day returns.

If you are after a wire-free model above a D cup, pay attention to the width of the underband - that, not the straps, is what decides the support.

Selene is one of the larger brands in our lingerie range. In this collection we have gathered 162 of the brand's items: 146 bras plus 16 pairs of knickers matched to styles from the same line.

How to find your size

The size range covers a broad span of bands and letters, including the full-cup bracket, which is why the brand appears both in collections with a narrow band and in larger sizes. In practice that means once you have established which size sits well, it is easier to pick further models within the same size grid.

When choosing, look at the cup type given in the description. Moulded models give a smooth line under jersey, seamed ones support better at a fuller volume, and soft versions are more comfortable over a long day. Check the number of hook rows too - at wider bands, three rows give you real room for adjustment.

You will find the brand's full range, bodysuits included, in the Selene collection. Choose your size from measurements set against our size guide.

What to look out for

When putting a set together, remember that bottoms from one line are sometimes available in a narrower choice of colours than the bras themselves. If you want a complete set in a particular shade, it is worth ordering both pieces in one order rather than leaving the bottom for later.
