Product Information
Full details
The Curvy Kate Smoothie Lace Moulded Balcony Bra in Latte is designed for adult females seeking comfortable, natural shaping and a seamless look under clothing. Its key benefit is the blend of supportive structure with a soft, second-skin feel thanks to its innovative lace and moulded cup design. A potential caveat is that it requires hand washing only and should not be tumble dried to maintain its integrity.

FAQs
What makes the Smoothie Lace Bra unique?
The Smoothie Lace Bra features lightweight, moulded lace cups with an infinity-edge fabric that creates a seamless, second-skin feel for ultimate comfort and a smooth appearance under clothing. It also includes an inner side sling for support.
Is this bra suitable for larger busts?
Yes, Curvy Kate specializes in supportive bras for a range of sizes. The side support sling and underwire are designed to offer adequate lift and projection.
Can I machine wash this bra?
No, this bra must be hand washed only to preserve the delicate lace and moulded cup structure. Do not use a washing machine or dryer.
What is the best way to dry the bra?
After hand washing, gently squeeze out excess water (do not wring) and lay the bra flat on a towel to air dry away from direct heat and sunlight. Never tumble dry.
What does 'balcony shape' mean?
A balcony bra has cups that are cut horizontally, offering a fuller coverage and a slightly uplifted, rounded shape, often referred to as a 'balconette' style.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The band should sit level and snug on your ribcage, the cups should fully contain your breasts without gaping or digging in, and the straps should be adjusted for comfort and support. There should be no spillage from the top or sides.
Can this bra be worn under very sheer or thin fabrics?
The seamless, moulded cups and smooth finish make it a good option for most fabrics. However, the lace texture might be subtly visible under extremely thin or sheer materials.
Troubleshooting
Straps digging in
Adjust the straps to a looser setting. Ensure the bra band is sitting correctly on your ribcage, as a band that is too loose can cause straps to carry too much weight.
Bra feels uncomfortable or digs in
Double-check your bra size. The band should fit snugly but comfortably, and the cups should fully enclose the breast tissue without spilling over or gaping.
Lack of support
Ensure the bra band is fastened on the tightest hooks (for a new bra) or adjust to a tighter setting if needed. The band provides the majority of the support; straps are secondary.
Visible lines under clothing
Ensure the bra is the correct size and that the lace edges are lying flat against the skin. Smooth down the cups and band.
