FAQs

What is the main benefit of the Moulded Balcony design?

The moulded balcony design offers excellent coverage, provides a natural rounded shape, and ensures a smooth silhouette under clothing, making it ideal for everyday wear.

How do I know if I have the correct size?

A well-fitting bra should have the band sitting snugly and level on your back, the underwire encasing your breast tissue without digging in, and the cups fully containing your breasts without spillage or gaping. Straps should stay in place without digging into your shoulders.

Can the straps be converted?

Yes, this bra features a J-hook adjuster that allows you to easily convert the straps into a racerback style for added support and a different look.

What material is the bra made from?

The bra is primarily made from Polyester, with brushed inner cups for added softness and comfort against the skin.

How should I care for this bra to ensure it lasts?

Hand washing in cool water with a mild detergent and drying flat away from heat is recommended to maintain the bra's shape and integrity.

Is this bra suitable for wearing under tight-fitting clothes?

Yes, the smooth, opaque cups and wings are designed to provide a seamless look under fitted clothing.

What does 'balcony' mean in bra terminology?

A balcony bra typically has cups that are cut lower and are more horizontal, offering uplift and projection while providing good coverage.

Troubleshooting

Straps slipping off shoulders

Ensure the straps are tightened appropriately. Utilize the tow-back feature to keep straps in place. If the issue persists, check the bra size and cup fit.

Underwire discomfort

Verify that the bra size and band fit correctly. The underwire should encase the breast tissue smoothly. If discomfort continues, this style might not be suitable for your body shape.

Visible lines under clothing

Ensure the bra wings and cups are lying flat against the skin. Smooth the fabric down. If lines persist with very sheer or tight clothing, consider a lighter color or a different style with even smoother seams.

Bra not providing enough support

Adjust the straps for optimal tension. Ensure the band is snug and level around your torso. Convert to a racerback style using the J-hook for enhanced support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Clasp the bra securely at the back.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the bra's shape and material integrity, hand washing is recommended.

  1. Hand Wash: Use cool water and a mild detergent. Gently wash the bra, paying attention to any soiled areas.
  2. Rinse Thoroughly: Ensure all detergent is rinsed out.
  3. Do Not Wring: Gently squeeze out excess water.
