FAQs
What is a non-padded balcony bra?
A non-padded balcony bra, also known as a demi-cup or half-cup bra, features cups that are cut lower and wider, offering less coverage than a full cup bra. It provides uplift and shaping without any added padding, relying on the construction and underwire for support.
How do I find my correct bra size?
Measure your band size by wrapping a tape measure around your rib cage directly under your bust, ensuring it's snug. Then, measure your cup size by wrapping the tape measure around the fullest part of your bust. Use these measurements with a reliable sizing chart to determine your best fit. It's often recommended to get professionally measured if possible.
Can this bra be worn under t-shirts?
While the decorative elements like embroidery and strapping are beautiful, they might show through very thin or tight-fitting t-shirts. It's best suited for tops with lower necklines or where the decorative details can be a feature.
How often should I wash my bra?
It is recommended to hand wash bras after every 2-3 wears to maintain hygiene and the fabric's integrity. Over-washing or machine washing can degrade the materials and elastic over time.
What is the benefit of the over-bust strapping?
The over-bust strapping is a design feature intended to draw the eye upwards towards the cleavage, creating a visually appealing and enhanced décolletage.
Does this bra offer much push-up effect?
As a non-padded style, this bra focuses on natural shaping and uplift provided by the underwire and construction, rather than a significant push-up effect. It enhances your natural shape rather than adding volume.
Troubleshooting
Straps are digging in or slipping.
Adjust the shoulder straps to a comfortable tension. If straps continue to slip, ensure the bra band is fitting correctly and not too loose.
Underwire is uncomfortable or poking.
Ensure you have the correct band and cup size. The underwire should comfortably encase the breast. If discomfort persists, the size may be incorrect or the bra may be damaged.
Bra is not providing enough support.
Check that the band is snug against the body and the straps are adjusted correctly. A properly fitted band provides the majority of the support. Ensure the bra has not lost its shape due to improper care.
