Product Information

Full details

The Flirtelle Swirl Balcony Bra is designed for adult women seeking everyday support and a classic aesthetic. Its key benefit is offering fantastic fit and shaping, particularly for larger cup sizes up to K, thanks to its non-stretch mesh cups. A potential consideration is that it is non-padded, which may not be preferred by everyone. Key features include a 3-part balcony cup, elegant swirled embroidery, a smooth microfiber outer, and adjustable straps.

FAQs

What makes the Flirtelle Swirl Balcony Bra suitable for larger cup sizes?

The bra features a 3-part cup design with an inner layer made from non-stretch mesh. This specific construction is engineered to provide excellent lift, shaping, and support, which is particularly beneficial for larger cup sizes, extending up to a K cup.

Is this bra padded?

No, the Flirtelle Swirl Balcony Bra is a non-padded style. It relies on its construction and underwire for shape and support.

How should I care for my bra to ensure its longevity?

It is recommended to hand wash the bra in cold or lukewarm water with a mild detergent. Avoid machine washing, bleach, and fabric softeners. Lay flat to dry away from direct heat and sunlight. Do not iron.

What is the outer material of the bra?

The outer material is a smooth microfibre, designed for a luxurious feel and a sleek fit under clothing, minimizing the appearance of lines.

What does 'balcony bra' mean?

A balcony bra typically has cups that are cut horizontally, providing a natural, uplifted shape and cleavage. The straps are often set wider apart.

How many hooks does the bra have?

The number of hooks depends on the size. Sizes 32-36 F cups have a 2-hook fastening, while all other sizes feature a 3-hook fastening for more adjustability and support.

What is the material composition of the bra?

The main fabric is 87% Polyester and 13% Elastane. Other components include Polyamide and Polyester for embroidery, lining, and mesh.

Troubleshooting

Bra straps slipping

Ensure straps are adjusted to the correct tightness. If slipping persists, check that the bra is the correct size and that the back band is snug.

Underwire digging or discomfort

Verify the band and cup size are correct. If the underwire feels uncomfortable, ensure it is sitting correctly in the channel and not twisted. Consider trying a different size or style if discomfort is persistent.

Embroidery snagging

Be cautious when washing and wearing to avoid snagging the delicate embroidery. Hand wash gently and avoid contact with rough surfaces or sharp jewelry.

Bra not providing enough support

Check that the band is snug against the body and that the cups are fully encompassing the breast tissue. Ensure the straps are adjusted properly. The hook-and-eye closure may need to be moved to a tighter setting as the bra is worn in.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent lift and shape, especially for fuller busts.
  • Elegant and classic design with subtle embroidery.
  • Comfortable microfiber outer for a smooth finish under clothes.
  • Offers reliable support due to the underwire and non-stretch mesh.
  • Available in a wide range of sizes, including larger cups up to K.

Cons

  • Non-padded construction may not offer the desired coverage or smoothing for some.
  • The underwire might be less comfortable for those who prefer soft bras.
  • Relies on specific fabric blends, care instructions must be followed closely.
  • Hook fastening varies by size, which might affect ease of use for some.
  • Limited color options (appears to be primarily white in this variant).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As an undergarment, the bra requires no setup beyond fastening. Ensure the straps are adjusted for a comfortable and secure fit. The hook-and-eye closure should be fastened on the loosest setting initially, with adjustments made as needed for comfort and support.

Compatibility: This bra is designed for adult females. Its sizing is based on standard bra measurements (band and cup size). It is compatible with most types of outer garments due to its smooth microfibre finish.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Hand wash is recommended using cold or lukewarm water. Avoid machine washing to preserve the delicate fabrics and embroidery.
  • Detergent: Use a mild detergent specifically designed for delicates. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners.
  • Drying: Do not tumble dry. Gently squeeze out excess water and hang to dry away from direct sunlight or heat.
  • Ironing: Do not iron.
  • Material Composition: Main: 87% Polyester, 13% Elastane. Embroidery Ground: 100% Polyamide. Embroidery Thread: 100% Polyester. Lining: 100% Polyamide. Wing Mesh: 73% Polyamide, 27% Elastane.
