FAQs
What makes this a 'balconette' bra?
A balconette bra typically features wider-set straps and cups that are cut horizontally, providing lift and creating a rounded, accentuated bust. It's designed to be flattering under wider necklines.
How do I find my correct size?
Measure your band size by wrapping a soft tape measure around your rib cage just below your bust. Then, measure your cup size by measuring around the fullest part of your bust. Consult a sizing chart or a professional fitter for the best results. This particular bra is a size 38A.
Can I wear this bra every day?
Yes, made from comfortable stretch nylon, this bra is suitable for everyday wear. However, like all bras, rotating with other bras allows them to maintain their shape and elasticity longer.
How does the lace affect comfort?
The lace is integrated into the design for aesthetic appeal. While generally soft, individuals with very sensitive skin might find the lace texture noticeable, though it is designed to be comfortable for regular wear.
What is the difference between this and a push-up bra?
A balconette bra focuses on lift and shape, often creating a natural-looking cleavage. A push-up bra typically includes padding designed to lift the breasts significantly upwards and inwards, often creating more dramatic cleavage than a standard balconette.
Is this bra suitable for post-surgery wear?
This bra is not specifically designed as a post-surgery bra. Post-surgery bras typically have different features like front closures, softer materials, and specific compression. Consult your medical professional for recommendations.
What colors are available?
This specific product is available in blue. Tommy Hilfiger offers bras in a range of colors, including black and white, across different styles and sizes.
Troubleshooting
Bra straps falling down
Ensure straps are adjusted tightly enough. If the issue persists, the straps may be stretched out or the shoulder slope may require a different bra style.
Underwire discomfort
Check that the bra is the correct size and cup fit. If discomfort continues, the underwire may be poking, indicating a potential defect or a need for a different bra style.
Lace snagging or tearing
Handle the bra with care during washing and wear. Avoid rough surfaces and always hand wash gently. If tearing occurs, it may be due to excessive friction or improper care.
Band riding up
The band may be too loose. Try adjusting to a tighter hook setting or consider if a smaller band size is needed. Ensure the bra is on the loosest hook when new for maximum wearability.
