FAQs
What makes this bra 'balcony' style?
A balcony bra has cups that are cut horizontally, providing a 'lift and separate' effect. It typically reveals more of the upper breast, creating a flattering décolletage.
Is this bra suitable for larger busts?
The underwire and balcony design offer support, but as it is non-padded, it may not provide the extra lift or containment that some larger busts require. Fit is key, so trying it on is recommended.
How do I determine my correct bra size?
Measure your band size by wrapping a soft tape measure around your rib cage just below your bust. Then, measure your cup size by wrapping the tape measure around the fullest part of your bust. Consult a sizing chart or seek professional fitting advice for the most accurate result.
Can I wear this bra with a low-cut top?
Yes, the balcony style and delicate lace detailing can complement a lower-cut top beautifully, adding a touch of allure.
What is 'illusion tulle'?
Illusion tulle is a fine, sheer netting fabric that creates a 'barely there' effect, often used to overlay lace or create seamless-looking details.
How often should I wash this bra?
It's generally recommended to wash bras after every 1-2 wears to maintain hygiene and the integrity of the fabric. Hand washing is the gentlest method.
Does the lace contain any stretch?
While specific stretch percentages vary, lace fabrics often have a slight natural stretch for comfort and fit. The illusion tulle also contributes to the overall flexibility.
Troubleshooting
Straps digging in or slipping.
Adjust the shoulder straps to ensure they are snug but not too tight. If straps continue to slip, ensure the back band is at the correct tightness and consider if the bra size is optimal.
Underwire discomfort.
Ensure the bra is the correct size and fitted properly. The underwire should cup the breast tissue smoothly. If discomfort persists, the bra may not be the right fit for your shape.
Lace snagging or pulling.
Handle the bra with care, especially when putting it on or taking it off. Avoid contact with rough surfaces or sharp jewelry. If minor pulls occur, do not tug; try to gently tease the threads back into place.
Bra losing shape after washing.
Ensure you are following the recommended care instructions, specifically hand washing and air drying flat. Avoid machine washing, tumble drying, or wringing the bra, as these can distort its structure.
