The Flirtelle Swirl Balcony Bra is designed for adult women seeking elegant everyday support. Its key benefit is providing a classic 3-part cup with beautiful swirled embroidery for a supportive and shaped silhouette. A potential consideration is that it is a non-padded bra, which may not suit those preferring extra padding.

No, the Flirtelle Swirl Balcony Bra is a non-padded bra. It features a 3-part cup with an inner mesh layer for support and shape.
The main fabric is 87% Polyester and 13% Elastane. The embroidery is on a 100% Polyamide ground using 100% Polyester thread. The lining is 100% Polyamide, and the wing mesh is 73% Polyamide and 27% Elastane.
It is recommended to get professionally fitted. You can also measure yourself at home by checking your band size (directly under the bust) and cup size (over the fullest part of the bust, subtracting the band measurement). Refer to Flirtelle's sizing guide for specific instructions.
A balcony bra, also known as a demi-cup or shelf bra, typically has cups that are cut horizontally or have a lower neckline, providing uplift and cleavage. This style is often designed to be visible under lower-cut tops.
Hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent. Do not bleach. Rinse thoroughly and reshape while damp. Lay flat to air dry. Do not iron.
The 3-hook fastening provides a wider range of adjustability for the band, which is particularly beneficial for ensuring a secure and comfortable fit, especially in larger band and cup sizes.
Non-padded means the bra cups do not have any foam or extra lining for shaping or coverage. This allows for a more natural look and feel, and can be more breathable.
Ensure the band is snug and level on your back. Adjust the straps so they are not too loose or too tight. Check that the center gore is lying flat against your sternum. If problems persist, consider if this is the correct size or style for your needs.
This could indicate an incorrect cup size (too small) or band size (too loose). Ensure the underwire channels are sitting correctly in the breast crease. A professional fitting might be beneficial.
Adjust the straps to be tighter. Ensure the back band is sitting correctly and is not too loose. If the straps continue to slip, the bra might be nearing the end of its lifespan or may not be the ideal style for your shoulder shape.
Ensure you are hand washing with a mild detergent and avoiding harsh rubbing or wringing, especially around the embroidered areas. Lay flat to dry, avoiding direct heat.
Setup:
This bra is designed for immediate wear. Ensure the straps are adjusted to your comfort and the hooks are fastened securely. The 3-hook fastening provides flexibility for achieving the perfect fit, particularly for band sizes around 40.
Compatibility:
The Flirtelle Swirl Balcony Bra is suitable for adult women seeking support and shaping. It is designed to be worn with a variety of clothing, offering a smooth profile under most garments due to its non-padded cups.
