FAQs
What is the main benefit of the side support feature?
The side support feature is designed to provide extra uplift and help project the breast forward, creating a smoother, more rounded shape and preventing outward spread.
How do I determine the correct size?
It's recommended to get professionally fitted. Alternatively, measure your band size (underbust) and cup size (overbust minus underbust) according to standard bra fitting guides. Ensure the back band sits parallel to the floor and the underwire frames the entire breast.
Can I machine wash this bra?
No, the Fantasie Pippa bra must be hand washed only. Machine washing can damage the delicate lace, underwire, and fabric structure, leading to a loss of shape and support.
What does 'forward projection' mean in relation to this bra?
Forward projection refers to the bra's ability to shape the bust to sit more towards the front, reducing side bulges and creating a streamlined silhouette under clothing.
How many hooks does this bra have?
The number of hooks varies by size. Bras with cup sizes D through G have a 2-hook fastening, while sizes GG through J have a 3-hook fastening for added security and support.
What materials is the bra made of?
The bra is primarily made of Polyester for the cup and top cup lining. The lace is 100% Polyamide, and the wing is a blend of Elastane and Polyester.
Troubleshooting
Straps digging into shoulders
Adjust the shoulder straps to a comfortable, secure fit. Ensure the band is sitting correctly on your ribcage, as a loose band can cause straps to bear too much weight.
Bra band riding up
Check if the band size is correct. The band should be snug and level. If it's riding up, it might be too loose. Ensure the back fastening is secure.
Underwire poking or discomfort
Ensure the correct cup size is selected. The underwire should encase the entire breast. If discomfort persists, the bra may not be the right fit or style for your body shape.
Lace feels rough or itchy
Ensure the bra has been washed according to care instructions. Sometimes, a gentle wash and air dry can soften the lace. If the issue persists, it might be a sensitivity to the lace material.
