Product Information

Full details

The Flirtelle Swirl Balcony Bra in White (36F) is designed for adult women seeking reliable, everyday support with a touch of elegance. Its key benefit is providing excellent shape and uplift, even for larger cup sizes, thanks to its non-padded, underwired, 3-part balcony cup construction and non-stretch mesh lining. A potential caveat for some users might be the 2-hook fastening system on this specific size, which may offer less adjustability than a 3-hook system found on other sizes. This bra features a classic 3-part cup with elegant swirled embroidery, a smooth microfiber outer for a sleek finish, and secure all-day support from wide straps and a powermesh band.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the main benefit of the Swirl Balcony Bra?

The main benefit is its ability to provide excellent everyday support and shaping, particularly for larger cup sizes, while offering a smooth finish under clothing due to its non-padded design and microfiber outer.

Is this bra suitable for daily wear?

Yes, it is designed for everyday comfort and support, featuring wide straps and a secure band.

How do I determine the correct size?

It is recommended to get professionally measured. The specific size 36F refers to a 36-inch band and an F cup. Ensure the band fits snugly and the cups fully contain the breast tissue without spillage or gapping.

What material is the bra made of?

The bra is primarily made of 87% Polyester and 13% Elastane, with specific components like lining (100% Polyamide) and wing mesh (73% Polyamide, 27% Elastane).

Does this bra have padding?

No, the Flirtelle Swirl Balcony Bra is non-padded. It relies on its 3-part cup construction and inner mesh for shaping and support.

Why does size 36F have 2 hooks, while other sizes might have 3?

The number of hooks can vary based on the size and the amount of support required. Smaller band sizes or specific cup ranges might use fewer hooks, while larger sizes often utilize 3 hooks for increased stability and adjustability.

Can I wear this bra under tight-fitting tops?

Yes, the smooth microfiber outer layer is designed to provide a sleek finish and should lie flat under most clothing, including tight-fitting tops.

Troubleshooting

Bra straps falling down

Ensure straps are adjusted to the correct length. If they continue to slip, check that the bra band is sitting firmly and level on your ribcage.

Underwires digging in

Verify the bra size and cup fit are correct. Ensure the underwire channels are sitting correctly in the breast fold. Check for any damage to the underwire casing. Hand washing gently can help maintain the structure.

Band riding up

The band may be too loose. Ensure you are selecting the correct band size and that the bra is fastened on the loosest hook initially. The band should sit parallel to the ground.

Lack of support

Confirm the correct bra size, especially the cup and band. Ensure the bra is fastened on the innermost hook setting, allowing adjustment as it stretches. The powermesh band and 3-part cup are designed for support, so incorrect sizing is the most likely cause.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction with quality materials ensures longevity.

Cons

  • The 2-hook fastening on size 36F might offer less adjustability compared to 3-hook systems.
  • Non-padded design may not be preferred by those seeking extra padding.
  • Being an underwired bra, it may not be suitable for sleeping or lounging for some individuals.
  • While designed for support, the specific fit may vary depending on individual body shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This is a ready-to-wear garment. Ensure the bra is fastened correctly using the hook-and-eye closure at the back. Adjust the shoulder straps to achieve a comfortable and secure fit, ensuring the band sits level around your body and the cups are fully encompassing.

Compatibility:

Care Instructions:

To maintain the integrity and lifespan of your Flirtelle Swirl Balcony Bra, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Hand wash is recommended. Use cool water and a mild detergent. Avoid soaking for extended periods.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly with cool water.
  3. Wringing: Do not wring or twist the fabric, as this can damage the underwires and shape.
  4. Drying: Gently squeeze out excess water. Lay flat to air dry, away from direct sunlight or heat. Do not tumble dry.
  5. Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  6. Ironing: Do not iron.
