This balconette underwired bra enhances the neckline with its balconette shape, offering moderate coverage and a naturally rounded silhouette. Its unlined three-part cups provide excellent support, while the supportive microfiber U-shaped back ensures lasting comfort and stability throughout the day.
Graphic embroidery paired with fine tulle and a decorative trim along the neckline creates a sophisticated interplay of transparency and opacity. Decorative adjustable stretch straps adorned with delicate bows, along with a refined metallic loop between the cups, add an elegant finishing touch to this beautifully feminine design.
Inspired by the City of Light and the elegance of the Eiffel Tower, this collection stands out with its clean, contemporary graphic design. A true feat of craftsmanship, it gracefully embraces the silhouette with architectural precision.
Care Guide
Gentle care helps preserve the support, shape and delicate details of your lingerie.
Hand wash whenever possible
Wash in cool or lukewarm water with a mild lingerie detergent. Gently clean without rubbing or twisting.
Protect delicate pieces
If machine washing is permitted, fasten hooks, place the item in a mesh bag and select the delicate cycle.
Avoid harsh products
Do not use bleach or fabric softener, as they may damage fibres, lace and elastics.
Air dry
Reshape gently and dry flat or hang away from direct sunlight. Avoid the dryer, iron and direct heat.

Size Guide

How to take your measurements
Measure your underbust
Place the tape around your torso, directly under the bust. Ensure it stays horizontal across your back, snug against the body without being too tight.
Measure over the cup
While wearing a comfortable bra, measure horizontally over the cup, from one wire to the other, passing over the fullest part of the breast without flattening the chest.

Choosing by product type
Full-coverage bras
Choose your usual back size and a cup that fully encloses the breast without spilling over.
Balconette bras
The cut reveals more of the upper breast. The cup should provide support without cutting in or compressing.
Molded bras
The cup should fit the entire breast without gaps, wrinkles, or spillover.
Non-wired bras
The back band should remain horizontal and securely in place while offering a comfortable feel.
Swimwear
For optimal support, choose the top according to your bra size and the bottom according to your hip measurement.
Panties and shapewear
Choose the size corresponding to the fullest part of your hips; do not size down to accentuate the sculpting effect.
How to recognize a good fit
The back band
It remains horizontal, stable, and comfortable. It should neither ride up your back nor compress the skin.
The cups
The breast should be entirely enclosed, without spillover, gaps, or wrinkles in the cup.
The straps
They should remain comfortable, without sliding down or leaving deep marks on your shoulders.
The center gore and wires
The center gore should lie flat against the sternum, and the wires should surround the breast without pressing into the tissue.
The fit can vary slightly by model. Our team can advise you to find the fit that suits you best.
