Product Information

Full details

This Flirtelle Swirl Balcony Bra in White, specifically the 38G size, is designed for adult women seeking everyday support and a classic aesthetic. Its key benefit lies in its 3-part balcony cup construction and non-stretch mesh, offering excellent lift and shape, even for larger cup sizes up to K. A potential caveat is that the non-padded nature might not suit those preferring significant padding. This bra features elegant swirled embroidery, fully adjustable straps, and a secure 3-hook fastening, all crafted from a blend of polyester, polyamide, and elastane for a smooth, luxurious feel.

FAQs

What makes this bra suitable for larger cup sizes?

The bra features a non-stretch mesh inner layer within the 3-part cup construction. This design is specifically engineered to provide firm support and maintain shape, helping to lift and contour the bust effectively, even in larger sizes.

Is this bra padded?

No, the Flirtelle Swirl Balcony Bra is non-padded. It offers a natural shape and feel without added padding.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart, which typically involves measuring your underbust for the band size and your overbust for the cup size. Professional fitting advice is also recommended for the most accurate results.

Can I machine wash this bra?

It is strongly recommended to hand wash the bra in cool water with a mild detergent. Machine washing can damage the delicate embroidery and elastic components, compromising the fit and longevity of the garment.

What material is the bra made of?

The main fabric is a blend of 87% Polyester and 13% Elastane. The embroidery ground is 100% Polyamide, the embroidery thread is 100% Polyester, and the lining and wing mesh contain Polyamide and Elastane. These materials contribute to its smooth feel, support, and fit.

How does the 3-hook fastening benefit the fit?

The 3-hook fastening (on size 38G) provides a more secure closure and allows for adjustability. This helps in achieving a snug and supportive fit that can be slightly modified for comfort.

Will the embroidery show through thin tops?

The embroidery is on the top cup and is relatively subtle. While it is designed to lie flat, it may be slightly visible under very thin or clingy fabrics. The smooth microfibre outer layer helps to minimize this.

Troubleshooting

Bra straps digging in

Adjust the straps to a looser setting. Ensure you have selected the correct band size, as band size provides most of the support.

Underwire discomfort

Verify that the band and cups are sitting correctly. The underwire should encase the breast tissue. If discomfort persists, the size or fit may not be suitable.

Bra riding up at the back

The band may be too loose. Try tightening the hook-and-eye closure or consider a smaller band size.

Lack of support

Ensure the bra is fastened correctly and straps are adjusted. The non-stretch mesh and 3-part cup are designed for support; improper fit can impede this.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers excellent support and shaping, especially for larger cup sizes.
  • Features a classic and elegant design with subtle embroidery.
  • The non-padded, non-stretch mesh provides natural lift.
  • Smooth microfibre finish ensures a sleek appearance under garments.
  • Fully adjustable straps and a secure fastening allow for a personalized fit.

Cons

  • Not suitable for individuals seeking significant padding.
  • May require careful measurement to ensure the best fit due to its specific shaping.
  • Embroidery detail might be visible under very thin or clingy fabrics.
  • Hand washing is recommended, which requires more time and care.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This bra requires no assembly. Ensure you select the correct size based on band and cup measurements for optimal fit and support. The adjustable straps and hook-and-eye closure allow for fine-tuning the fit once the bra is on.

Compatibility: The Flirtelle Swirl Balcony Bra is designed for adult women and is compatible with a wide range of clothing styles, particularly those where a smooth, natural shape is desired. Its specific construction is beneficial for individuals who typically wear sizes up to a K cup.

Care Instructions: To maintain the integrity and longevity of the bra:

  1. Washing: Hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals.
  2. Drying: Gently squeeze out excess water without wringing. Lay flat or hang to air dry, away from direct heat or sunlight.
  3. Storage: Store folded or rolled to maintain its shape, rather than hanging on hangers which can stretch the straps.
