FAQs

What is a balconette bra?

A balconette bra, also known as a balcony or shelf bra, typically features cups that are cut horizontally, providing a lifting effect and exposing more of the upper breast. This style is known for creating a flattering cleavage.

What does 'longline' mean in bra terminology?

A longline bra extends further down the torso than a traditional bra, often reaching the waist or lower rib cage. This design offers added support and can create a smoother silhouette.

What is the material of this bra?

The bra is made from a soft cotton blend, designed for comfort and breathability.

How do I know if I have the right size?

A well-fitting bra should feel snug but comfortable. The band should sit parallel to the floor and not ride up, the cups should contain the breast tissue without spillage or gaping, and the straps should stay in place without digging in.

Can this bra be worn under a t-shirt?

Yes, the lightly lined cups and smooth design make it suitable for wearing under t-shirts and other fitted tops, creating a seamless look.

What type of support does this bra offer?

This bra offers moderate support due to its longline design and construction. It is ideal for everyday wear but may not be sufficient for high-impact activities.

Are there other colors or sizes available?

Calvin Klein offers this bra in various sizes and potentially other colors. Please refer to the product listings for available options.

Troubleshooting

Bra feels too tight or too loose.

Adjust the hook-and-eye closure to find a more comfortable fit. If the issue persists, consider if the band size or cup size is appropriate for your body.

Straps dig into shoulders.

Ensure the band is fitting correctly, as the band should bear most of the support. Adjust the straps to be snug but not tight. If the problem continues, the cup size may need adjustment.

Material feels rough after washing.

Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely, especially using cold water, a gentle cycle, and avoiding harsh detergents or fabric softeners. Laying flat to dry is crucial.

Underwire is uncomfortable.

This is a lightly lined balconette bra, which typically does not feature underwire. If discomfort is felt, double-check the bra's construction or consider if a different style might be more suitable.
