Ann Summers Caged Hibiscus Non Padded Balcony Bra - Floral - Blue - 36C

The 'non-padded' aspect means there is no additional foam or padding inserted into the cups. The shape and support come directly from the fabric construction and the underwire.

Measure your band size by wrapping a tape measure around your ribcage just below your bust. Then, measure your cup size by measuring around the fullest part of your bust. Consult a reliable sizing chart or a professional bra fitter for accurate measurements.

While designed for comfort, the delicate nature of the materials and detailing suggests it's best suited for occasional or special wear to maintain its longevity. For everyday wear, consider bras made from more durable materials.

A balcony bra, also known as a half-cup bra, typically has cups that are cut horizontally, providing less coverage than a full cup bra. It's designed to lift the bust upwards and outwards, creating a rounded shape and enhancing cleavage.

It is recommended to hand wash the bra in cold water with a mild detergent and lay it flat to dry. Avoid machine washing, bleaching, or tumble drying to preserve the fabric and delicate details.

Picot elastic is a type of trim that has a decorative, scalloped edge formed by small loops or 'picots' along one or both edges. It adds a refined and feminine finish to lingerie.

Adjust the shoulder straps and ensure the band is fastened on the loosest hook initially. If discomfort persists, the band or cup size may not be correct.

Ensure the shoulder straps are adjusted correctly and that the bra band is snug against your body. Over time, straps can stretch; consider replacement if this is a recurring issue.

This can happen with wear and tear. Gently try to push the wire back in. If the fabric is significantly damaged, it may be time to replace the bra.
