FAQs
What makes this bra ideal for larger cup sizes?
The Fantasie Portia Balconette Bra features a wide wired design, an inner side sling, and a powernet wing. These elements work together to provide enhanced support, lift, and comfort, which are crucial for larger bust sizes.
How do I know if I have the right size?
A well-fitting bra should have the band sitting snugly and level on your back, the underwire resting comfortably against your ribcage, and the cups fully encasing the breast tissue without spillage or gaping. Straps should provide lift without digging in.
Can I machine wash this bra?
No, this bra requires hand washing only. Machine washing can damage the delicate embroidery, underwire, and fabric structure, leading to a loss of support and shape.
What kind of support does the vertical seamed cup offer?
The vertical seam on the cup is designed to lift the breast tissue upwards and inwards, creating a rounded shape and enhancing cleavage. It works in conjunction with the underwire and sling for comprehensive support.
What is the purpose of the powernet wing?
The powernet wing is the fabric section at the side of the bra, under the arm. It is designed to provide anchorage and stability, ensuring the bra stays smoothly in place against your body and preventing the underband from riding up.
Is this bra suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, the Fantasie Portia Balconette Bra is designed for comfort and support, making it suitable for everyday wear. Its construction provides the necessary lift and shaping for most daily activities.
What does 'balconette' mean in terms of bra style?
A balconette bra typically has wider-set straps and cups that are cut horizontally, offering moderate coverage and a lifting effect that creates a flattering décolletage. It's designed to be somewhat visible and attractive, often paired with lower necklines.
Troubleshooting
Straps digging in
Adjust the strap length using the sliders to ensure they are not too tight. Ensure the correct band size is selected as a snug band provides most of the support.
Band riding up
The band may be too loose. Try using the hook and eye closures further in on the band. If it continues, a smaller band size might be needed.
Underwire discomfort
Ensure the underwire channels are sitting correctly in the natural crease of the breast. The wide wired design should prevent excessive digging, but a fit check may be necessary.
Embroidery snagged
Carefully trim any snagged threads with small scissors. Avoid pulling on the snagged area. Handle with care during washing and wear.
Bra losing shape after washing
Ensure the bra is being hand-washed correctly with a mild detergent and air-dried flat. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, which can distort the shape.
