FAQs

What type of support does this bra offer?

The Fantasie Portia Balconette Bra offers significant support through its underwired design, wide wiring for comfort, and an inner side sling that provides extra lift and containment, particularly beneficial for larger cup sizes.

How should I clean the Fantasie Portia Balconette Bra?

This bra must be hand washed only. Use cool water and a mild detergent. Rinse gently and lay flat to air dry. Do not tumble dry, as heat can damage the straps and rings.

Is this bra suitable for everyday wear?

Yes, it is designed for everyday wear, providing comfort and support. The combination of wide wiring and an inner side sling makes it a practical choice for extended use.

What are the main materials used in this bra?

The bra uses Polyamide and Elastane in the wing, Polyamide in the cup, and Polyester for the top cup. The straps are made with soft peach skin material.

Can I put this bra in the washing machine?

No, it is strictly hand wash only. Machine washing or tumble drying can damage the delicate embroidery, threads, and structural components of the bra.

What does 'balconette' style mean for this bra?

A balconette style typically offers less coverage than a full cup bra, providing a more uplifted and broadly supported shape, suitable for lower necklines.

Does the bra have adjustable straps?

Yes, it features fully adjustable shoulder straps made from soft peach skin material for comfort and a customizable fit.

Troubleshooting

Straps digging in

Adjust the shoulder straps to a comfortable, not-too-tight setting. Ensure the band is sitting correctly on your back, as a loose band can cause straps to bear too much weight.

Underwire discomfort

Verify you have the correct cup size. If the underwire is poking or uncomfortable, it may indicate the cup size is too small or the bra is not sitting flat against your sternum.

Band riding up

The band may be too large. Ensure the band is snug and level. The powernet wing is designed for anchorage, so a proper fit here is crucial.

Embroidery fraying after washing

Ensure hand washing is performed gently. Avoid wringing or stretching the fabric. Lay flat to dry away from heat, as excessive heat can damage delicate threads.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  • Hand Wash Only: Due to the delicate materials and construction, including embroidery and metallic elements, this bra must be hand washed.
  • Washing Method: Use cool or lukewarm water with a mild detergent. Gently swish the bra and avoid harsh scrubbing.
  • Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
  • Drying: Do not tumble dry. Squeeze out excess water gently, do not wring. Lay flat or hang to air dry, away from direct heat or sunlight. Ensure straps and rings are not damaged by heat during the drying process.
  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as they can degrade the fabric and elastic.
