Full details

The Curvy Kate Strawberry Crush Balcony Bra is designed for adults seeking a supportive, non-padded, and aesthetically pleasing undergarment that pairs well with square-neck clothing. Featuring delicate floral embroidery on a black mesh base, it offers a lightweight feel with structural lift. While it provides excellent support for fuller busts, users should note that the non-padded, sheer material may show more texture than molded foam bras.

FAQs

Is this bra padded?

No, the Strawberry Crush Balcony Bra is non-padded, relying on vertical cup darts and underwires for shaping.

How do I ensure I have the right size?

We recommend measuring your ribcage for the band size and the fullest part of your bust for the cup size, keeping in mind this is a UK-sized brand.

Can I wear this under a white shirt?

Because the bra is black, it will be visible under thin or light-colored fabrics.

Does it offer enough lift for a large bust?

Yes, the balcony design and vertical darts are specifically engineered to provide structured lift for fuller busts.

How many hooks are on the back closure?

It uses a 2-hook, 3-column fastening for most sizes, with 3 hooks utilized for larger size variants.

Is the fabric itchy?

The bra is crafted from soft polyester mesh designed to be gentle on the skin, though individual sensitivities to embroidery can vary.

Troubleshooting

Underwire digging into the skin

Ensure you are wearing the correct band size; if the band is too loose, the wires may shift and cause discomfort.

Straps slipping off shoulders

Adjust the strap sliders to ensure a snug fit, ensuring they are not too tight to pull the back of the bra upwards.

Bra band feeling too tight

Try using an extender for the first few wears to allow the material to relax, or confirm that your band size is appropriate for your ribcage measurement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Supports square-neck tops perfectly due to the straighter neckline.
  • Non-padded design creates a more natural silhouette.
  • Vertical darts ensure consistent lift for fuller busts.
  • Breathable polyester mesh construction.
  • Adjustable straps for a tailored fit.

Cons

  • Sheer material may not be suitable for those preferring total opacity.
  • Non-padded cups offer less coverage than molded alternatives.
  • Requires careful washing due to delicate embroidery.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best fit, ensure the underwire sits flat against your ribcage. To maintain the structural integrity of the delicate floral embroidery and the elasticity of the mesh, it is highly recommended to hand wash this item in cool water. If machine washing is necessary, use a lingerie mesh bag and a delicate cycle to prevent the underwires from bending or the embroidery from snagging. Always hang to air dry, avoiding direct heat or tumble drying, as this can degrade the polyester fibers and elastic components over time. The bra fastens with a standard 2-hook, 3-column closure for most sizes, providing a secure fit that stays in place.
