The Curvy Kate Strawberry Crush Balcony Bra is designed for individuals seeking a blend of reliable structural support and delicate aesthetic appeal. Featuring an uplifting balcony silhouette with vertical cup darts, this bra offers a distinct 'cakes-on-a-plate' cleavage effect while remaining lightweight thanks to its semi-sheer mesh construction. While it provides excellent shaping for square-neck apparel, the sheer nature of the material requires careful selection of clothing layers for those prioritizing total opacity.

No, the Strawberry Crush Balcony Bra is a non-padded, semi-sheer mesh design.
It is recommended to hand wash in cool water using a gentle detergent to keep the embroidery and mesh in top condition.
Because the bra is semi-sheer and features embroidery, the texture and color may be visible through very thin or light-colored garments.
The vertical cup darts are designed specifically for an uplifting, supportive 'cakes-on-a-plate' effect.
Yes, the bra features fully adjustable straps to help you achieve the perfect fit.
The bra uses a standard hook-and-eye closure, typically with 2 or 3 hooks depending on the specific size chosen.
Adjust the sliders on the straps to tighten them and check if the band size is correct, as a loose band causes more tension on the straps.
Ensure the gore sits flat against your sternum; if it digs in, you may need to adjust your band size or ensure you have properly scooped your breast tissue into the cup.
This often indicates the cup is slightly too large or the breast tissue is not properly positioned; perform a 'swoop and scoop' to ensure a proper fit.
For the best results, ensure you perform a 'swoop and scoop' when putting on the bra to settle your bust fully into the cups, allowing the vertical darts to provide maximum support. Given the sheer mesh and embroidery, hand washing in cool water with a gentle detergent is essential to preserve the fabric's shape and the integrity of the floral details. Avoid machine washing and tumble drying, as these can distort the underwire and damage the delicate embroidery. Store your bras flat or hung by the gore to prevent cup distortion.
