The Curvy Kate Lovelace Underwired Side Support Balcony Bra is designed for adults seeking a reliable, everyday intimate garment that balances superior support with a sophisticated aesthetic. Its primary benefit lies in the 4-part cup construction and side support panels, which create a rounded, uplifted shape suitable for all-day wear. A notable caveat is that this garment requires hand washing to maintain the integrity of its delicate lace and structural components, as machine cycles and tumble drying can damage the fabric and hardware.

No, the manufacturer strictly recommends hand washing only to preserve the lace and the elastic structure of the wings and straps.
The lace is designed to be smooth, but because it is a graphic lace pattern, it is best suited for fabrics that are not extremely thin or skin-tight.
Strap widths vary (15mm, 18mm, or 22mm) to ensure that larger cup and band sizes receive adequate support and weight distribution across the shoulder.
No, this is an underwired, non-padded balcony bra that relies on fabric construction rather than foam inserts for shaping.
This is typically caused by machine washing or improper sizing. Always use a laundry bag if you must machine wash on a delicate cycle, but avoid this entirely if possible.
Adjust the strap sliders to ensure a snug fit; if the strap is already at maximum tension, ensure you are using the correct band size as a loose band can cause straps to sit too wide.
Ensure the bra is correctly sized; underwires that dig are often a sign that the cup size is too small or the band is too large, causing the wire to lose its proper shape.
For the best fit, ensure the underwire sits flat against your ribcage without digging into breast tissue. The bra utilizes a hook-and-eye closure: sizes 30-36 D-F use 2 hooks across 3 columns, while all other sizes use 3 hooks for increased stability. Regarding care, always prioritize hand washing in cool water to protect the lace and elastic. Never tumble dry this bra, as the heat can melt the nylon components, damage the elasticity of the wing mesh, and compromise the integrity of the strap adjustment rings.
