FAQs
What does 'non-padded' mean for this bra?
A non-padded bra does not have any foam or lining within the cups. It relies on the fabric and construction, like underwire and seams, to provide shape and support, offering a more natural feel and appearance.
How do I know if I'm wearing the right size?
The band should sit parallel to the floor and feel snug, allowing only two fingers to fit underneath. The cups should fully contain your breasts without spilling over or creating gaps, and the underwire should rest comfortably against your ribcage, framing the breast.
Can I wear this bra for everyday use?
Yes, the Ann Summers Dusk Til Dawn Non-Padded Balcony Bra is designed for both comfort and style, making it suitable for everyday wear, especially for those who appreciate its support and aesthetic qualities.
What does 'balcony' style mean?
A balcony bra, also known as a balconette bra, has cups that are cut horizontally, offering less coverage than a full cup bra. This style lifts the breasts upwards and outwards, creating a flattering cleavage and is ideal for lower-cut necklines.
Is this bra suitable for larger busts?
The bra features underwire and adjustable straps for support, making it a viable option for various bust sizes. However, the effectiveness of support is highly dependent on finding the correct size and fit for your specific body.
How should I care for the delicate embroidery?
It is recommended to hand wash the bra in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid harsh scrubbing or wringing, and lay it flat to dry. This will help preserve the intricate floral embroidery and the overall integrity of the fabric.
Can I machine wash this bra?
Machine washing is not recommended for this bra, especially due to the delicate embroidery and potential for underwire damage. Hand washing is the preferred method to ensure the longevity and appearance of the garment.
Troubleshooting
Bra is uncomfortable or digging in
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The band should be snug but not tight, and the straps should be adjusted to distribute weight evenly. Check that the underwire is sitting correctly against your rib cage and not on breast tissue.
Straps are slipping
Tighten the adjustable straps. If the problem persists, the bra may be too large in the cup or band, or the straps may need to be replaced if they are stretched out.
Underwire feels uncomfortable
This can sometimes occur if the bra is not the correct size or shape for your body. Ensure the underwire channels are lying flat along your ribcage and are fully encapsulating the breast tissue. If the underwire is poking or bent, it may be damaged.
Embroidery is snagged or damaged
Be cautious when putting on and taking off the bra, and when wearing jewelry that could catch on the delicate fabric. If a snag occurs, try to gently smooth it back into place. Avoid washing with abrasive items.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: As a bra, the 'setup' involves selecting the correct size for optimal comfort and support. Ensure the band sits comfortably level around your torso and the cups fully enclose the breast tissue. Adjust the shoulder straps so they lie flat against your shoulders without digging in, and fasten the hook and eye closure securely at the back.
Compatibility: This bra is designed for adult women. It pairs well with a variety of clothing styles, especially those with lower necklines that can showcase the decorative elements of the bra. It is intended to be worn as an undergarment.
Care Instructions: To maintain the quality and longevity of the bra, hand washing is recommended in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or fabric softeners. Gently squeeze out excess water without wringing, and lay flat to dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not tumble dry or iron.
