Product Insights
Fleur of England's Iris Embroidered Sheer Balconette Bra combines hand-embroidered iris motifs with sheer mesh cups for a uniquely covering sheer look. Its silk loses 20% strength when wet, requiring hand-washing and flat drying in shade to prevent permanent band distortion and embroidery misalignment. With proper care using pH-neutral detergent, gentle handling, and a white-vinegar rinse to restore the silk's original glossy shine, buyers report over five years of wear.
Verified claims
- Sheerness
- The bra's unpadded cups are made of sheer tulle, so they are see-through to a degree, but the hand-embroidered floral iris motifs provide partial coverage and subtle opacity rather than full transparency.
- Flat drying
- Flat drying in shade prevents permanent band distortion and embroidery misalignment.
- Wet handling
- The bra's silk loses 20% strength when wet; hand-wash and dry flat to avoid damage.
- Care
- Hand-wash in lukewarm water with a pH-neutral, enzyme-free detergent, handle gently, reshape and dry flat in the shade, and finish with a white-vinegar rinse in cold water to protect the silk and embroidery.
- Vinegar rinse
- A white-vinegar rinse restores the silk's original glossy shine.
- Longevity
- With the brand's recommended care of hand-washing, air-drying flat or on a hanger, and rotating among four to five bras, Fleur of England reports pieces last over five years.
- Sizing
- Fleur of England uses standard UK band and cup sizing, so order your usual size; expect a firmer, more supportive fit with limited stretch in the underwired cups that softens with wear.
- Origin
- The Iris bra is designed by Fleur of England in the UK and produced in small runs by Portuguese makers the brand has worked with for over 20 years.
