FAQs

How do I know if I have the right size?

A well-fitting bra should have the band sitting comfortably and level on your back, the underwires enclosed within your breast tissue, and the cups fully containing the breast without gaping or spilling over. The straps should stay in place without digging in.

Can I machine wash this bra?

No, this bra must be hand washed only. Machine washing, especially with heat and agitation, can damage the delicate lace, fabric, and structural components like the underwire and adjustable straps.

What does 'three-piece cup' mean?

A three-piece cup bra typically has seams that divide the cup into three sections (usually a side panel, a lower cup panel, and a top cup panel). This construction is specifically designed to provide excellent shaping, uplift, and forward projection.

What is 'side support'?

Side support refers to additional fabric or structural elements built into the side of the cup. This helps to draw the breast tissue towards the center, enhancing uplift and projection while smoothing the side profile.

Why should I avoid tumble drying?

The heat from a tumble dryer can shrink the fabric, damage the elastic in the band and straps, and potentially melt or warp the underwire casing, compromising the bra's fit and longevity.

Is this bra suitable for everyday wear?

Yes, the Fantasie Illusion Underwired Full Cup Bra is designed for everyday wear, offering comfort and support suitable for most daily activities.

What material is the bra made of?

The bra is made from 85% Polyamide and 15% Elastane, offering a balance of support, stretch, and a soft feel.

Troubleshooting

Straps digging in or slipping

Adjust the shoulder straps to a comfortable, secure fit. Ensure the bra band is sitting correctly on your ribcage; if it's too loose, the straps will bear too much weight.

Underwire discomfort

Verify you have the correct cup size. If the underwire is digging in, it might indicate the cup is too small or the band is too large. Ensure the underwire channels are sitting flat against your body.

Bra shape not as expected

Ensure all parts of the bra, especially the side support panels and cups, are correctly positioned on your body. Make sure the bra is fastened on the loosest hook initially, and adjust as it stretches with wear.

Care Instructions:

  • Hand Wash Only: It is crucial to hand wash the bra in cool water using a mild detergent.
  • Do Not Tumble Dry: Exposure to heat in a tumble dryer can damage the bra's fabric, underwire, and strap components. Always air dry.
