FAQs
What is a non-padded balcony bra?
A non-padded balcony bra features underwire and cups that are cut horizontally, offering less coverage than a full cup bra. The 'non-padded' aspect means it doesn't have extra foam or padding, providing a natural shape and feel.
How do I determine my correct bra size?
Measure your underbust for the band size and your fullest bust point for the cup size. It is often recommended to get professionally fitted, as sizes can vary between brands. For this specific bra, ensure the G cup is appropriately filled without spillage or gaping.
Can I wear this bra every day?
Yes, the non-padded design and supportive features make it suitable for everyday wear, provided it fits comfortably. Proper care will help maintain its condition for regular use.
What is the purpose of the over-bust strapping?
The over-bust strapping is a decorative element designed to enhance the cleavage and add a sensual detail to the bra's appearance. It draws the eye upwards towards the neckline.
How do I care for the delicate embroidery?
It is best to hand wash the bra in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, and wringing. Lay flat to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight to preserve the embroidery and fabric.
Does this bra offer shaping or smoothing?
As a non-padded bra, its primary function is to support and shape naturally rather than adding volume or significant smoothing. The underwire provides lift and definition.
What other items are in the Dusk Til Dawn collection?
The Dusk Til Dawn collection typically includes matching briefs, thongs, and potentially other lingerie items like chemises or robes, allowing you to create a coordinated set.
Troubleshooting
Bra straps digging in
Adjust the shoulder straps to a looser setting. Ensure the bra band is sitting correctly on your ribcage, as an ill-fitting band can cause straps to bear too much weight.
Underwire poking or discomfort
Check that the bra is the correct size and shape for your body. The underwire channels may need to be reshaped gently by hand. Ensure the bra is fully fastened and the cups are properly filled.
Lack of support
Ensure the bra band is fastened on the tightest hook (for a new bra) and that the shoulder straps are adjusted appropriately. The band provides the majority of the support, so it should feel snug.
Embroidery or strapping details becoming damaged
Follow the care instructions carefully, prioritizing hand washing and avoiding harsh treatments. Store the bra flat or with cups uncrushed to prevent snagging.
