FAQs

Does this bra provide extra volume?

No, the Nellie is a non-padded balcony bra designed to provide a natural shape rather than added volume.

Is the lace itchy?

The lace is designed to be decorative while the cups are backed with soft microfiber fabric to ensure comfort against the skin.

Can I put this bra in the dryer?

It is not recommended to use a dryer, as the heat can break down the elasticity and damage the delicate lace and underwires.

What is the benefit of a balcony style?

The balcony style provides a flattering lift and a wide-set strap design, which is ideal for wearing with lower or wider necklines.

How should I store my underwired bras?

Store them laid flat or nested one inside the other to prevent the cups and underwires from losing their shape.

Are there matching items available?

The Nellie range often features coordinating briefs, though availability may vary; check the product collection for matching pieces.

Troubleshooting

Underwire feels uncomfortable or pokes the skin

Ensure the band size is correct and the center gore is sitting flat against your sternum. If it persists, check if the wire has become distorted from machine washing.

Straps slipping off shoulders

Adjust the strap length using the rear sliders; ensure they are snug but not tight enough to leave indentations on the shoulders.

Lace appears frayed after cleaning

Always place the bra in a mesh laundry bag if machine washing on a delicate cycle, or ideally, hand wash to prevent snagging against other garments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Knickerbox Nellie bra, proper care is essential. Always check your size against the specific band and cup measurements provided in the variant list to ensure the underwire sits flat against your sternum without digging in. For cleaning, hand washing in cool water with a gentle detergent is highly recommended to protect the integrity of the lace and the underwire casing. Avoid machine drying, as the high heat can damage the elastic components and degrade the soft microfiber fabric. Lay the bra flat to dry in the shade to maintain its original form and elasticity.
