FAQs

What makes the Fantasie Portia Balconette Bra suitable for larger cup sizes?

The bra features a wide-wired construction for comfort, an inner side sling for added support and shaping, and a powernet wing for secure anchorage, all contributing to excellent support for larger busts.

Does this bra have padding?

No, the Fantasie Portia Balconette Bra does not have padding. It is designed to provide cleavage and uplift without adding volume.

How should I wash this bra to maintain its quality?

It is essential to hand wash the bra only using a mild detergent in cool water. Rinse gently and lay flat to air dry. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

What is the purpose of the inner side sling?

The inner side sling is designed to provide additional support, help center the bust, and enhance the natural uplift, contributing to a smoother, more rounded shape.

Can I wear this bra with a low-cut top?

Yes, the balconette style is ideal for lower-cut necklines as it provides lift and cleavage, creating a flattering appearance.

What material is the wing made of?

The wing is made of a blend of 65% Polyamide and 35% Elastane, which provides structure, support, and comfortable stretch.

What is Lurex®?

Lurex® is a type of yarn or thread that has a metallic effect, often used in fashion to add shimmer and decorative qualities. In this bra, it is incorporated into the embroidery for a luxurious finish.

Troubleshooting

Straps dig into shoulders

Ensure the band is fitting correctly. The band should be snug and level. Adjust the straps to the loosest comfortable setting if needed. Check that the cup size is appropriate.

Bra band rides up

The band may be too large or not sitting low enough. Try fastening the bra on a tighter hook if available, or consider sizing down in the band. Ensure the back band is level.

Underwire discomfort

Ensure the bra is the correct size and shape for you. The underwire should sit flat against the ribcage and encircle the breast tissue. If discomfort persists, it may indicate an incorrect fit or style for your body.

Embroidery appears damaged after washing

Ensure hand washing was gentle and no harsh chemicals were used. Always air dry flat away from heat sources. Avoid any form of machine drying.
