FAQs

Is this bra padded?

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.

What material is the bra made of?

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.

How do I find the right size?

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.

What is a balcony bra?

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.

What are the care instructions for this bra?

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.

What is the advantage of the 3-hook fastening?

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.

What does 'non-padded' mean for comfort?

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.

Troubleshooting

Bra not providing enough support

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.

Underwire digging or feeling uncomfortable

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.

Straps slipping off shoulders

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.

Embroidery appearing damaged after washing

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.
