The Flirtelle Swirl Balcony Bra in White, size 42G, is designed for adult women seeking everyday support and elegant style. Its key benefit lies in the 3-part balcony cup construction, offering excellent shape and lift without padding. A potential consideration is its underwired design, which may not be preferred by everyone. This bra features a non-padded, underwired cup with decorative swirled embroidery, a powermesh band for secure support, and fully adjustable straps for a customized fit.

A balcony bra (also known as a balconette or half-cup bra) has cups that are cut horizontally, offering less coverage than a full cup bra. It's designed to lift the breasts upwards and outwards, creating a rounded shape and enhancing cleavage, making it ideal for lower necklines.
Yes, the Flirtelle Swirl Balcony Bra is designed with a 3-part cup and supportive materials for comfortable, everyday wear, offering both shape and support.
Measuring your band size (around your ribcage below the bust) and cup size (around the fullest part of your bust) is crucial. Many retailers offer sizing guides online. Ensure the band is snug and parallel to the floor, and the cups fully enclose your breast tissue without gaping or spilling.
Non-padded means the bra cups do not have any extra foam or padding inserted. This offers a more natural shape, better breathability, and a lighter feel.
It is recommended to hand wash the bra to maintain its shape, support, and the integrity of the embroidery. If machine washing, use a lingerie bag on a delicate cycle with cool water and a mild detergent.
The powermesh band provides strong, supportive structure around the back of the bra, ensuring it stays in place, prevents slipping, and offers a smoothing effect.
The embroidery is designed to be decorative and generally does not significantly affect the bra's comfort or flexibility. However, care should be taken during washing to prevent snagging.
Ensure the straps are adjusted correctly. If they continue to slip, the bra may be too large in the band or cup, or the straps may need replacement if worn out.
Check that the bra is the correct size and the underwire channels are sitting correctly under the breast tissue. Ensure the bra is not too tight in the band.
Handle the bra with care, especially when washing and drying. Avoid washing with items that could snag the embroidery, such as items with Velcro or zippers. If minor fraying occurs, trim carefully with small scissors.
The band may be too loose. Ensure you are fastening the bra on the loosest hook initially to allow for stretching over time. If it rides up on the tightest hook, a smaller band size might be needed.
Setup: This bra is ready to wear upon purchase. Ensure you fasten the bra using the hook-and-eye closure at the back and adjust the straps for a snug but comfortable fit. The straps should sit flat on your shoulders without digging in.
Compatibility: Designed for adult women, this bra is suitable for most clothing types that accommodate a balcony bra silhouette. It pairs well with lower-cut tops and dresses.
