FAQs
What material is the Balmain Knit Bralette Top made of?
The top is made of 85% viscose and 15% polyester, offering a shiny effect knit.
How should I clean this top?
Dry cleaning is recommended. If hand washing, use cold water and a mild detergent, then lay flat to dry.
What does 'Testa di leone' mean?
'Testa di leone' translates to 'Lion head' in Italian, referring to the distinctive Balmain lion head button design.
Is this top suitable for formal events?
Yes, its shiny knit and designer details make it suitable for formal occasions, especially when styled appropriately with high-waisted bottoms or as a layering piece.
How true to size is the French sizing?
The product description indicates it fits 'true to size' within French sizing standards. It's advisable to check a French sizing chart if you are unfamiliar with it.
Can I wear this as a regular bra?
While it offers support due to its fitted nature, it's primarily designed as a fashion top or layering piece rather than a functional bra.
What is the length of the top?
The top features a cropped, fitted silhouette, meaning it is shorter than a standard top and designed to end around the waist or slightly above.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appears dull or loses sheen.
Ensure you are following the recommended dry cleaning or gentle hand washing procedures. Avoid harsh detergents or excessive heat.
Strap adjustment needed.
This top features fixed thin straps and is not designed for adjustment. Ensure your French size is correct for a proper fit.
Buttons become loose.
If a button feels loose, carefully sew it back into place using a strong thread. Avoid excessive force on the buttons.
Garment feels tight or constricting.
Verify that you have selected the correct French size. The 'cropped fitted silhouette' is intentional, so ensure this style aligns with your preference.

Care Instructions: To maintain the integrity and appearance of the shiny viscose knit, it is recommended to follow these care guidelines:
- Dry Clean Recommended: For best results and to preserve the fabric's texture and sheen, professional dry cleaning is advised.
- Hand Wash (with caution): If hand washing, use cold water and a mild detergent. Gently squeeze out excess water without wringing. Reshape the garment while damp and lay flat to dry.
- Avoid Ironing Directly: If ironing is necessary, use a very low heat setting and place a pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric. Avoid direct contact with the buttons.
- Store Properly: Hang the top on a padded hanger to prevent stretching or distortion of the knit. Keep away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
