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

No, the Fantasie Portia Balconette Bra is an unpadded bra. It offers shaping and uplift through its construction and seamed cups.

It's recommended to get professionally measured or measure yourself at home. Ensure the band fits snugly and the cups fully encompass your breast without bulging or gaping. The provided size details (e.g., 30F) refer to band size and cup size.

No, this bra is strictly recommended for hand wash only to preserve the delicate materials, embroidery, and elastic components.

Hand washing prevents damage to the underwire, delicate embroidery, metallic threads, and the elasticity of the fabric, which can be compromised by the agitation and heat of a washing machine and dryer.

The inner side sling is an additional panel of fabric inside the cup that provides extra support, helps to center the bust, and encourages forward projection, particularly beneficial for larger cup sizes.

A balconette bra typically has cups that are cut horizontally, offering less coverage than a full cup bra. It's designed to provide uplift and create a flattering, rounded shape with a wider, lower neckline.

Underwired bras have a wire sewn into the fabric beneath each cup. This wire provides structure, support, and lift to the breasts.

Adjust the hook and eye fastening. If it's consistently uncomfortable, you may need a different band size.

Loosen the shoulder strap adjusters. Ensure the band is fitting correctly, as the band should carry most of the support.

Check your cup size. Gaping may indicate the cup is too large, while overflowing suggests it's too small. Consider trying a different cup size.

Handle the bra with care during washing and wear. Gently smooth out any minor snags. Avoid contact with rough surfaces.
