FAQs

What type of support does the strapless design offer?

The strapless design relies on the structure of the crepe fabric, the snug fit of the bodysuit, and potentially internal boning or elasticated trims (though not explicitly detailed) for support. It is designed to stay in place with proper sizing and fit.

Can I machine wash this bodysuit?

No, this bodysuit is strictly 'dry clean only'. Machine washing will likely damage the fabric, its shape, and the hardware.

What material is the bodysuit made of?

The bodysuit is made from a blend of 80% viscose, 16% polyamide, and 4% elastane. The lining is 100% polyester.

How should I store this bodysuit?

It is best stored folded or on a padded hanger in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing it where it can be heavily creased or crushed.

What does 'Noir' refer to?

'Noir' is the French word for black, indicating the designer color name for this item.

Where is this Balmain bodysuit made?

This garment is made in Portugal.

What is the hardware color?

The hardware color on this item is gold.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. As a bodysuit, fit is critical. If slightly off, consider professional tailoring. If significantly incorrect, exchange for a different size.

Creases or wrinkles appear after storage.

Given the 'dry clean only' instruction, steaming is the recommended method for wrinkle removal. Hang the bodysuit in a steamy bathroom or use a garment steamer on a low setting. Avoid direct ironing unless specified by a professional cleaner.

Zipper is difficult to close.

Ensure the fabric is clear of the zipper teeth. Gently pull the zipper up, applying even pressure. If resistance persists, do not force it. Consult a tailor or dry cleaner for assistance.
