Gossard Balcony Bra - Red

No, this bra features a non-padded design for a natural silhouette and comfortable fit.

It is an underwired bra, providing excellent support and lift. The balconette neckline further contributes to shaping and enhancing the bust.

This bra is listed in UK sizes. We recommend measuring your band and bust and consulting a UK bra size chart. If you are unsure, consider getting professionally fitted or checking online conversion guides.

The bra is composed of 75% Polyester, 13% Polyamide, and 9% Elastane, offering a blend of durability, comfort, and stretch.

To preserve the delicate lace and overall integrity of the bra, hand washing in cool water with a mild detergent is highly recommended. If machine washing, use a lingerie bag on a gentle cycle and cold water.

A balconette neckline features cups that offer less coverage at the top, creating a horizontal line across the bust. This style is designed to lift and enhance the bust from below, creating a fuller, rounded appearance, often suitable for wider necklines.

First, ensure you are wearing the correct size. Check if the band is too tight (it should sit level across your back, allowing two fingers to slide underneath). Adjust the shoulder straps; they should provide support without digging into your shoulders. The majority of support should come from the band, not the straps.

If cups are gapping, the cup size might be too large; if overflowing, it might be too small. Gently scoop your breast tissue into the cups to ensure it's properly settled. Adjusting the straps can also help the cups sit better on your bust. Ensure the underwire lies flat against your ribcage.

Check if the underwire is sitting correctly on your ribcage, just below your breast tissue, and not on your breast. If the bra is new and this is happening, it might be a sizing issue (band too small, or cup too small pushing the wire out). If an older bra, check for bent or exposed wires, which might indicate the bra needs replacing.

This often occurs due to machine washing or improper handling. Always hand wash delicate lace items or use a lingerie bag on a gentle cycle. Avoid wringing or twisting the bra. Lay flat to dry to prevent snags and maintain lace integrity.
