Product Information
Full details
The Fantasie Lucia Side Support Bra is designed for adult women seeking comfortable and supportive everyday wear with a touch of romantic style. Its key benefit lies in the three-piece cup with side support, offering excellent uplift and forward projection for a flattering silhouette. A potential caveat for some users might be the hand-wash-only care instruction, requiring a bit more attention than machine-washable items. This underwired bra features a beautiful, in-house designed floral print, stretch lace, and a soft-handle fabric, combining aesthetics with functionality.

FAQs
How do I determine my correct bra size?
Measure your band size by wrapping a tape measure around your ribcage directly under your bust. Then, measure your cup size by loosely measuring around the fullest part of your bust. Consult a sizing chart or a professional fitter for the most accurate measurement.
Why does this bra require hand washing?
Hand washing is recommended to preserve the delicate fabrics, lace, and elastic components of the bra. Machine washing, especially with agitation or high heat, can cause damage, stretching, or loss of shape.
Can I wear this bra for sports?
The Fantasie Lucia Side Support Bra is designed for everyday wear and provides good support for daily activities. It is not intended as a high-impact sports bra. For athletic activities, a specialized sports bra is recommended.
What does 'side support' mean in a bra?
Side support refers to additional fabric or structure within the bra cup, typically on the outer side, designed to help push the breasts towards the center, creating a more projected and uplifted shape.
How should I dry the bra after washing?
After hand washing, gently squeeze out excess water without wringing. Lay the bra flat on a clean towel or drying rack, reshaping it as needed. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources. Never put it in a tumble dryer.
What materials is this bra made from?
The bra features 100% Polyester for the Top Cup Lining & Cup, and a Wing made of 68% Polyamide and 32% Elastane. It also incorporates stretch lace.
Troubleshooting
Bra straps digging in
Adjust the shoulder straps to a comfortable, secure fit. Ensure the band is sitting correctly on your ribcage, as an incorrectly sized band can cause strap discomfort.
Underwire discomfort
Ensure the bra is the correct size and fit. The underwire should sit smoothly against the ribcage, not digging into the breast tissue. If discomfort persists, the bra may not be the right style for your body shape.
Bra shifting or not staying in place
Check that the band size is correct; the band provides the primary support. Ensure the back clasp is fastened securely. The powernet wing is designed for anchorage, so ensure it lies flat against the skin.
Lace snagging or tearing
Handle the bra with care during wear and washing. Avoid contact with rough surfaces or sharp objects. Hand wash gently and avoid wringing.
