Learn how the HUIT Citron Vert Balconette is built, how to choose your cup size, and how to rinse and dry it so the fabric and gold details last.

What the Citron Vert Balconette is built to do

The HUIT Citron Vert Balconette is a swimwear bra rather than a compression bikini top. Its 3-part cup construction shapes the bust, while armatures cradle and support it. A lining insert lifts the bust, and the adjustable shoulder straps and gold clasp back closure let you tune the fit. The fabric is a soft-touch Italian micro fabric (74% polyamide, 26% elastane) that dries quickly.

That construction matters for sizing: this is a sized-cup top, so you choose a band size and a cup letter rather than a single S/M/L. The available combinations are 32, 34 and 36 with B, C, D or E cups, all in Yellow/Aqua.

How to choose your Citron Vert size

Work through these steps before you order, using the size options the product actually offers.

  1. Start with your band size: The top is offered in 32, 34 and 36. Choose the band that matches your usual underbust measurement rather than guessing from a clothing size.
  2. Then pick the cup letter: Each band is available in B, C, D and E cups. If you normally fall between two cup letters, the 3-part cup and lining insert are designed to shape and lift, so the cup should hold you without gaping.
  3. Check that your combination exists: All four cups are offered in all three band sizes, so you can keep your usual band and cup pairing instead of sizing up or down to fit the range.
  4. Use the adjustable straps and back closure to fine-tune: The adjustable shoulder straps and gold clasp back closure let you set tension after trying it on. Adjust the band first, then the straps.

Construction details that affect fit

  • HUIT - Citron Vert - Balconette: 3-part cup construction with armatures and a lining insert These are the features that shape and support the bust, so they explain why the top is sized by band and cup rather than as a simple pull-on style.

  • HUIT - Citron Vert - Balconette: Adjustable shoulder straps and gold clasp back closure Both are adjustable points you can use to refine the fit after the band and cup are right.
  • HUIT - Citron Vert - Balconette: Fully lined in soft-touch Italian micro fabric, 74% polyamide and 26% elastane The lining and stretch fabric are why the top feels smooth against the skin and dries quickly, which matters for repeated wear.

Balconette support: what to expect

A balconette cut gives a lower, more horizontal neckline than a full-coverage swim top. On the Citron Vert, the armatures and 3-part cups provide the support, while the lining insert adds lift. The large straps are designed for comfort and freedom of movement, so the top is built for poolside and beach wear rather than high-impact activity.

The records do not state a maximum bust size or a recommended activity level, so treat the B–E cup range as the practical limit of the sizing information. If you are outside that range, the supplied evidence does not confirm an alternative fit.

How to care for the Citron Vert top after swimming

The care label gives four rules: cold wash cycle, dry flat, do not bleach, do not wring. Build your routine around them.

  • Rinse or wash cold after each swim: Use a cold wash cycle as stated on the care label. Rinsing after salt water or chlorinated pools helps remove residue before it sits in the fabric.
  • Do not wring: Squeeze gently instead of twisting. Wringing can distort the cups and the armatures that give the top its shape.
  • Dry flat: Lay the top flat to dry rather than hanging it by the straps, which can stretch them. The quick-drying micro fabric means it will not stay wet for long.
  • Skip bleach: Do not bleach. The Yellow/Aqua colour and gold-tone details are part of the look, and the care label rules out bleach entirely.

Care facts from the product record

  • HUIT - Citron Vert - Balconette: Cold wash cycle, dry flat, do not bleach, do not wring These are the only stated care instructions, so they should form the whole routine rather than being combined with heat or harsh treatments.
  • HUIT - Citron Vert - Balconette: Quick-drying soft-touch micro fabric Fast drying supports the dry-flat instruction and makes the top practical for back-to-back swim days.

What the product record does not confirm

The supplied information does not include a size chart with body measurements, a recommended cup-to-band conversion, or instructions for machine washing the top in a mesh bag. It also does not confirm whether the gold clasp is metal or coated. If any of these details matter to your decision, check the product page or ask before ordering rather than assuming.
