FAQs

How do I know if I have the right size?

A properly fitting bra will have the band sitting level and snug on your back, the cups fully encasing the breast without spilling or gaping, and the straps should stay in place without digging in. The centre gore should lie flat against your chest.

What does 'side support' mean in a bra?

Side support refers to extra fabric or structure within the bra cup, usually on the outer side, that helps to gently pull the breast tissue towards the centre of the chest. This enhances uplift and forward projection, creating a smoother, more rounded silhouette.

Can I machine wash this bra?

No, the Fantasie Lucia Side Support Bra is strictly hand wash only. Machine washing, especially on a cycle with heat or spin, can damage the delicate lace, underwire, and overall structure of the bra.

What is the 'powernet wing'?

The powernet wing is the back section of the bra made from a strong, elastic mesh fabric. It's designed to provide anchorage and support to the bra band, ensuring it stays securely in place and distributes weight evenly.

How should I care for the lace and fabric?

Always use a mild detergent and cool water for hand washing. Avoid harsh scrubbing, wringing, or stretching the fabric. Lay flat to dry, away from direct sunlight or heat, to maintain the integrity of the lace and fabric.

What is the difference in hook fastening for different cup sizes?

Smaller cup sizes (D-G) typically use a 2-hook fastening, while larger cup sizes (GG-J) use a 3-hook fastening. The 3-hook system provides a wider band for better support and comfort for fuller busts. HH-J cups also have top cup lining for additional support.

Troubleshooting

Bra straps digging in

Adjust the shoulder straps to a looser setting. Ensure the bra band is sitting correctly at the base of the back. The bra may also be too small in the cup.

Underwire poking out

This can happen with wear and tear. Check the fabric casing around the underwire. If it's significantly damaged, the bra may need replacing. Ensure the bra is not too tight.

Band riding up

The band may be too large or the bra is not the correct size. Ensure the band is level with the bottom of your bra strap. Try a smaller band size or ensure it's fastened on the tightest hook.

Cups not fitting correctly (gaping or spilling)

This indicates an incorrect cup size. If there's gaping, try a smaller cup size. If there's spillage, try a larger cup size. Ensure the side support is properly positioned.
