FAQs

What makes this a 'balcony' bra?

A balcony bra, also known as a balcony or balconette bra, typically has cups that are cut horizontally, offering less coverage than a full cup bra. This style is designed to lift the breasts upwards and outwards, creating a fuller, rounded appearance and a flattering cleavage.

Is this bra suitable for larger cup sizes?

Yes, the Flirtelle Swirl Balcony Bra is available in a range of sizes, including larger cup sizes like FF, and is designed with features like underwire and a multi-part cup to offer support for a variety of bust types.

Can I wear this bra with tight-fitting clothes?

The non-padded design and smooth fabric of this bra make it suitable for wearing under most clothing, including fitted tops. It aims to provide a natural shape without adding bulk.

What is the purpose of the inner mesh layer?

The inner mesh layer is incorporated to provide additional support and help maintain the shape of the cups, contributing to the overall structure and lift of the bra.

How do I know if I have the right size?

A properly fitting bra should have the band sitting snug and level on your back, the cups fully enclosing your breasts without gaping or spilling over, and the straps should stay in place without digging in. You should be able to fit two fingers comfortably under the band. It's often recommended to get professionally measured for the best fit.

What materials is the bra made from?

The main fabric is 87% Polyester and 13% Elastane. The embroidery ground is 100% Polyamide, the embroidery thread is 100% Polyester, the lining is 100% Polyamide, and the wing mesh is 73% Polyamide and 27% Elastane.

Troubleshooting

Straps digging in

Adjust the straps to a looser setting. Ensure the bra band is sitting comfortably and not too tight, as this can cause straps to dig in.

Band riding up

The band may be too loose. Try fastening the bra on a tighter hook setting. If it continues to ride up, the band size may be incorrect.

Cups not fitting properly (gapping or overflowing)

This indicates an incorrect cup size. Ensure the breast tissue is fully encompassed within the cup and that there are no gaps or spillage. Consult a sizing guide if unsure.

Underwire poking

This can occur if the bra is too small or has been damaged during washing. Ensure the correct size is being worn and follow care instructions strictly.
