FAQs

Is this bra padded?

No, the Strawberry Crush Balcony Bra is a non-padded, semi-sheer mesh style.

Does the embroidery feel rough against the skin?

The material is designed for comfort, but the embroidery is decorative and may have a different texture than the smooth mesh panels.

How should I wash this bra?

Hand washing in cool water is strongly recommended to preserve the shape of the cup darts and the quality of the embroidery.

Will the straighter neckline show under clothes?

It is designed specifically to be worn under square-neck outfits, so it should sit neatly without peeking out in most cases.

How many hooks does this bra have?

It features 2 hooks and 3 columns for smaller sizes, and 3 hooks for larger sizes to ensure better support.

Troubleshooting

Straps digging into shoulders

Adjust the strap length using the rear sliders and ensure the band is firm enough that it does not slide up the back.

Underwire is digging into the sternum

This may indicate the band size is too small or the cup size is too shallow; try adjusting the band or considering a larger cup size for better clearance.

Loss of lift over time

Check if the elastic has stretched from frequent washing or if the underwire has become distorted; ensure you are washing by hand.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior uplift and support for fuller busts
  • Lightweight, breathable semi-sheer fabric
  • Straighter neckline works well with modern square-neck fashion
  • Beautiful floral embroidery details

Cons

  • Hand-wash recommended due to delicate embroidery
  • Semi-sheer mesh may show texture under very thin fabrics
  • Non-padded design may not provide full coverage for all preferences

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your bra, proper fit is essential. When first putting on the bra, ensure the underwire sits flat against your ribcage without digging into the breast tissue. This model uses 2 hooks and 3 columns for smaller sizes, while larger sizes incorporate 3 hooks for added stability. For maintenance, it is highly recommended to hand wash this garment in cool water using a gentle detergent. Avoid wringing the mesh or putting the bra in a tumble dryer, as heat can warp the underwire and damage the delicate embroidery. Always lay the bra flat or hang it by the gore (center piece) to air dry to maintain the integrity of the cup darts.
