Product Insights
The Faux-Knot Balconette from Simons (49 CAD) is a swim top with a permanently stitched front knot that never needs retying, crafted from the same recycled nylon blend as the cups to prevent shrinkage or color differences. It features underwire support, D-cup sizing for fuller busts, and independently adjustable straps and band for a customized fit. The recycled nylon matches virgin nylon in softness and recovery, but has fair chlorine resistance, requiring hand washing and flat drying; best for occasional swimming and sunbathing.

Deep Research
Recycled nylon sustainability and real-world performance
- Because recycled nylon shares the same polyamide 6,6 molecular structure as virgin nylon, it does not inherently sacrifice stretch or shape retention — when properly manufactured it snaps back and holds its form just as reliably, so the balconette’s supportive, soft handfeel comes from the material’s own resilience rather than a downgrade in fiber quality.
Faux-knot detail and long-term appearance
- Made from the same recycled nylon blend as the cups, the bow reacts identically to hand-washing and flat-drying; there’s no differential shrinkage or color shift between the bow and the rest of the garment.
- The underwire cups and multi-position adjustable straps provide structure that keeps the bust lifted and centered, which directly prevents the front bow from pulling off-center or distorting — especially relevant for D-cup wearers.
- The ‘faux-knot’ name signals a decorative bow that is sewn in place, not a functional tie — it never requires re-tying or adjustment, so the front detail stays crisp and centered through wear and washing.
- A dedicated D-cup size option suggests the balconette is engineered to maintain the bow’s placement and tension on fuller busts, avoiding the flattening or twisting that often occurs with one-size-fits-all decorative fronts.
Convertible strap options and how to wear them
- The triple hook closure in back lets wearers fine-tune band tightness independently of strap position, so when you convert to a halter you can loosen the band slightly to avoid digging, or tighten it for extra security in a crisscross configuration — the two adjustment points together give a more customized fit than a single-closure top.

Q&A
4 answered- Which cup sizes do the S, M, L, XL correspond to, and is the 'D' variant a separate cup size or a size option?
- We don't have a specific cup-size correspondence chart for S, M, L, XL on this top. The 'D' option listed is a separate cup-size variant for D-cup wearers, not a general size. For a precise fit, we recommend referring to the size chart on the product page or trying on in store.
- Is the recycled nylon blend chlorine-resistant and suitable for frequent swimming, or is it better for sunbathing only?
- The recycled nylon blend used in this top offers softness and stretch but has fair chlorine resistance, meaning it can degrade over time with frequent exposure. It's best suited for occasional swimming and sunbathing rather than daily lap swimming. Rinsing after each use will help extend its life [1].
- What are the recommended care instructions for this swim top to maintain the fabric and shape?
- To maintain the recycled nylon fabric and shape, hand wash cold with mild detergent after each wear, avoid bleach and fabric softener, and lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight. Never wring or machine dry, as heat can damage the elastic fibers. Rinsing in fresh water after saltwater or pool use is also recommended.
- For someone with a D cup, does this balconette provide enough support for active swimming, or is it more for lounging?
- This balconette features soft underwire cups with removable foam padding and multi-position adjustable straps, which provide moderate support suitable for light swimming and lounging. For a D-cup, it may not offer enough support for active swimming or high-impact water sports, but the adjustable straps allow some customization. If you need more support, consider sizing up or choosing a style with wider straps or a higher neckline.
