Fantasie Portia Balconette Bra - Red - Polka Dot - 30G

A balconette bra typically features cups that are wider and shallower, with straps set further apart. This style lifts and separates the breasts, creating a rounded, uplifted shape and enhancing cleavage, suitable for lower-cut necklines.

Measure your band size by wrapping a tape measure around your ribcage directly under your bust. Measure your cup size by wrapping the tape measure around the fullest part of your bust. Consult a reputable bra size chart for conversion, or visit a professional fitter.

No, the Fantasie Portia Balconette Bra should only be hand washed. Machine washing can damage the delicate embroidery, underwire, and straps.

Lurex® is a type of yarn that contains a metallic fiber, often used to create shimmering or glittering effects in fabrics. In this bra, it contributes to the luxurious look of the embroidery.

Yes, despite its decorative elements, the bra is designed with features like wide wires and an inner side sling for comfort and support, making it suitable for everyday wear for those who appreciate its style and support.

The inner side sling is an additional panel of fabric within the cup that helps to gently guide the breast tissue towards the center, providing extra support, shape, and forward projection, particularly beneficial for fuller busts.

While the embroidery is beautiful, it might be visible under very thin or tight t-shirts. The balconette shape is best suited for outfits where the bra style can be appreciated or is intended to be seen.

Ensure you have selected the correct band and cup size. Check that the underwires are sitting correctly against your body and not on breast tissue. Adjust the shoulder straps for a secure but not tight fit.

Ensure the straps are adjusted correctly. If they continue to slip, the bra may be too large in the band, or the straps may need replacement if they are worn out.

Follow the 'Hand Wash Only' and 'Do Not Tumble Dry' instructions meticulously. Avoid wringing or stretching the fabric excessively during washing and drying.

Verify the band is snug (should sit level and not ride up). Ensure the underwires and side sling are positioned correctly to provide maximum lift and support.
