FAQs

Does this bra provide heavy padding?

No, the Nellie is a non-padded balcony bra designed to offer a natural shape.

Can I machine wash this bra?

It is highly recommended to hand wash this item to protect the delicate lace and the structural underwire.

Is the hardware prone to tarnishing?

The matte gold hardware is high-quality, but to keep it looking its best, avoid exposing it to harsh chemicals or direct perfume sprays.

What does a balcony bra style mean?

A balcony bra features a horizontal neckline and wider-set straps, which provide lift and a flattering, open look.

Is this bra suitable for daily wear?

Yes, its combination of support and comfort makes it an excellent option for consistent, everyday use.

Troubleshooting

Underwire feels uncomfortable or pokes the skin

Ensure the bra size is correct for your frame. If the wire is protruding, the garment may have reached the end of its life or suffered damage in the wash.

Straps slipping off shoulders

Adjust the length of the straps to be shorter. If the issue persists, the band size may be too large, causing the straps to sit too wide on the shoulders.

Lace snagging or fraying

Always fasten the back hooks before washing to prevent them from catching on the lace of the cups.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Elegant mosaic lace design provides a sophisticated look
  • Underwired structure offers reliable lift and support
  • Non-padded cups provide a lightweight and natural feel
  • Fully adjustable straps allow for a personalized fit

Cons

  • Requires delicate care due to the intricate lace material
  • Hand wash recommended to preserve the integrity of the underwires and fabric
  • Non-padded design may show more texture under thin fabrics compared to molded bras

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your bra maintains its support and shape, follow these guidelines:

  1. Fitting: Adjust the shoulder straps until the band sits firmly but comfortably around your ribcage without digging into the skin.
  2. Washing: We recommend hand washing in cool water with a gentle detergent. Avoid machine washing, as the agitator can bend the underwires and snag the delicate lace.
  3. Drying: Lay the bra flat to dry on a towel. Do not tumble dry, as the heat will damage the elasticity of the fabric and hardware.
  4. Storage: Store flat or folded cup-to-cup to prevent the underwires from distorting or snapping.
