The Essentials 9317
This wire-free bra combines support, softness, and versatility in a silhouette designed for everyday comfort. Crafted from ultra-soft microfiber, it features soft molded foam cups that naturally envelop the bust and create a smooth silhouette under clothing. Double-layer side panels and side stays provide additional support while maintaining the flexibility of a wire-free design.
The multi-position straps can be adjusted along the band to easily adapt to your silhouette, including narrower shoulders. Convertible for added versatility, they can be worn traditionally, crossed at the back, or as a halter to complement different tops and dresses. Strap widths and the number of hook-and-eye columns vary by size to provide a comfortable, tailored fit.
The Essentials by Montelle brings together versatile must-haves designed to simplify everyday dressing. Soft fabrics, comfortable silhouettes, and functional details create an easy-to-wear collection designed to complement every outfit with comfort and discretion.

How to take your measurements
Measure your underbust
Place the tape directly under your bust, against your skin. Keep it horizontal and comfortably snug, without compressing.
Measure your overbust
Measure the fullest part of your bust without flattening it. The tape should remain straight and parallel to the floor.
Measure your waist
Place the tape around the narrowest part of your natural waist, without pulling your stomach in.
Measure your hips
Measure the fullest part of your hips and glutes, keeping the tape horizontal.

How to recognize a good fit
The band
It should remain horizontal and stay in place without riding up the back. It should offer support without compressing.
The cups
Your breasts should be completely enclosed, with no spilling, wrinkling, or gaps in the cups.
The straps
They should remain comfortable on your shoulders without slipping off or leaving deep marks.
The center gore
For an underwire bra, the center gore should sit against your sternum without digging in.
