FAQs

What is the main purpose of the Figleaves Pimlico Balcony Bra?

The Figleaves Pimlico Balcony Bra is designed for adult women seeking a bra with a delicate, elegant appearance, suitable for special occasions or when a sophisticated look is desired. It features sheer cups with binding and offers natural support.

What does 'balconette' mean in the context of this bra?

A balconette bra typically has cups that are cut horizontally, offering more coverage on the sides and bottom than a plunge style, and providing a rounded, uplifted shape. It's designed to work well with wider necklines.

Can I wear this bra every day?

While the bra is made of polyester, the delicate sheer cups and binding suggest it is best suited for occasional wear or special events to maintain its aesthetic and longevity. For everyday wear, consider a bra with more robust construction if daily support and coverage are paramount.

How do I determine my correct cup size?

Refer to a reliable bra sizing guide. Typically, you measure your band size (underbust) and cup size (overbust, with a tape measure around the fullest part of your bust). It's recommended to get professionally measured if possible, as bra fit can vary.

What kind of care does the binding require?

The binding is a delicate detail. It requires gentle hand washing in cool water with a mild detergent and laying flat to dry. Avoid harsh chemicals, high heat, and machine washing or drying, which can cause it to fray or detach.

Does this bra offer any padding?

No, the Figleaves Pimlico Balcony Bra is a non-padded bra. It is designed to offer support and shape through its underwire and cup construction, rather than through added padding.

What is the material of the bra?

The bra is made from Polyester, which offers a smooth feel and durability suitable for its design.

Troubleshooting

Straps digging in

Adjust the straps to a comfortable length. Ensure the bra band is fitting correctly, as a band that is too loose can cause straps to bear too much weight.

Underwire discomfort

Ensure the bra is the correct size and fit. The underwire should lie flat against the ribcage. If discomfort persists, the bra may not be the right style for your shape.

Binding is fraying

This can occur with improper washing. Always hand wash gently and lay flat to dry. Avoid machine washing or aggressive handling.

Bra does not feel supportive

Verify the band size is correct, as the band provides most of the support. Ensure the cups are fully encompassing the breast tissue and the straps are adjusted properly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
