FAQs

What is the main benefit of the Cesile collection?

The Cesile collection focuses on combining luxurious comfort with excellent support, offering uplift and forward projection through its unique cup design and wide wire.

How do I determine the correct size?

It is recommended to get professionally measured. Key measurements are your band size (around the ribcage) and your cup size (the difference between your bust and underbust measurement). Fantasie offers a range of sizes, including the 38D in this model.

Can this bra be machine washed?

Hand washing is strongly recommended to maintain the bra's shape, support, and material integrity. Avoid machine washing and tumble drying.

What does 'side support' mean in a bra?

Side support refers to panels or construction within the bra cup that help to gently pull the breast tissue towards the centre, enhancing uplift and providing a more rounded, forward projection.

Why do the hook fastenings vary by size?

Larger cup and band sizes require more support. The 3-hook fastening on larger sizes (G-J cups) provides a more secure and comfortable fit compared to the 2-hook fastening on smaller sizes (D-FF cups).

Is the lace detail scratchy?

The top cups are made with a powerful stretch lace with a soft-handle fabric used on the main cups. While lace can sometimes be less soft, this design aims for comfort against the skin.

Troubleshooting

Straps digging in or slipping

Adjust the shoulder straps to the correct length. Ensure the back band is snug and level. Check that the centre pull straps are correctly positioned.

Underwire is uncomfortable or poking

Ensure you are wearing the correct cup and band size. The underwire should encase the breast tissue smoothly and lie flat against the ribcage. If discomfort persists, the bra may not be the right fit.

Bra band riding up

The band might be too loose. Try using the tighter hook setting. If it's still riding up, consider going down a band size.

Cups gape or overflow

If the cups gape, you may need a smaller cup size. If you overflow, you likely need a larger cup size. Ensure all breast tissue is scooped into the cups from the sides and under the cups.
