FAQs

What makes this bra a 'balconette' style?

A balconette bra typically features cups that are cut horizontally, providing a 'balcony' effect that lifts and separates the breasts, offering a natural uplift and a flattering cleavage without excessive push-up.

Can I machine wash this bra?

No, the garment care instructions recommend hand wash only to preserve the delicate fabric, embroidery, and underwire structure.

What is the purpose of the side sling?

The built-in side sling is designed to provide additional support and security by gently pulling the breast tissue towards the center, enhancing the natural shape and preventing outward protrusion.

Is this bra suitable for very large busts?

The underwired construction and supportive design generally make it suitable for various bust sizes, offering good support. However, individual fit can vary based on breast shape.

How do I know if I have the right size?

A well-fitting bra should have the band sitting level, the underwire enclosing the entire breast without digging in, the straps staying in place without slipping, and the cups fitting smoothly without gaping or spillage.

Can the floral embroidery irritate the skin?

The embroidery is designed to be smooth, but if you have very sensitive skin, it's always a good idea to test wear it for a short period. Proper care and washing can help maintain the softness of the fabric.

Does this bra offer push-up?

No, this is a non-padded bra designed for natural uplift and shape. It does not provide push-up enhancement.

Troubleshooting

Straps constantly slipping

Ensure the straps are adjusted correctly and are not overtightened or too loose. Check if the back band is sitting level on your torso; if not, it may need to be adjusted or the bra may be worn out.

Underwire poking or feeling uncomfortable

This can indicate an incorrect size or fit. Ensure the underwire channels are sitting flat against your ribcage and fully enclosing the breast tissue. If the issue persists, the bra may not be the right fit for your shape.

Band riding up

The band might be too large, or the bra may have lost its elasticity. Try tightening the band to the next hook if available. If all hooks are in use, it may be time to consider a smaller band size.
