Zenna Balconette Wire Bra Fit Questions
How does the Zenna Balconette Wire Bra fit?
The Zenna Balconette Wire Bra is described as the collection's most wearable silhouette. It features an underwired balconette cup for lifted support, and the back uses a 24k gold plated branded zip fastening to keep the silhouette clean. The bra has fully adjustable shoulder, bust, and back straps, so you can fine-tune the fit to your body.
What sizes are available for the Zenna Wire Bra?
The bra comes in sizes 1 through 6, with color options including Black, Raspberry, and Teal based on available variants. The supplied fit model information shows size 2 (equivalent to S) fitting a 5'10” model with a UK 32C bra size, and also a 5'9” model with a UK 30D bra size. This suggests the bra can accommodate different band and cup combinations within a single size, but individual fit may vary.
Is the underwire comfortable for all-day wear?
The bra includes an underwired balconette cup designed for lifted support. Comfort will depend on proper sizing and adjustment of the fully adjustable straps. The soft, sheer Italian mesh and satin elastic strapping may help reduce irritation, but there is no specific claim about all-day comfort in the supplied information. As with any underwire bra, a correct fit is essential to avoid discomfort.
How do I adjust the straps for the best fit?
The Zenna Balconette Wire Bra has fully adjustable shoulder, bust, and back straps. Start by loosening all straps, put the bra on, and zip the back closure. Then tighten the shoulder straps so the band sits level across your back and the cups support without gaping. Adjust the bust and back straps to fine-tune the geometric detail and overall silhouette.
What materials is the bra made from?
The bra is made from a mix of polyamide and elastane: the elastic is 88% polyamide and 12% elastane; the wide elastic is 66% polyamide, 27% polyester, and 7% elastane; the mesh is 82% polyamide and 18% elastane. The hardware is 24k gold plated. These materials give the bra a soft, sheer feel with good stretch and recovery.
How should I care for the Zenna Wire Bra?
The care instructions recommend delicate hand wash separately. After each wash and wear, wipe the gold components with a clean, dry cloth to maintain their finish. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents that could damage the mesh or elastic.
