FAQs
What makes the Lucia Side Support Bra suitable for larger cup sizes?
The bra features a three-piece cup with side support, wide wired construction, and a lined top cup. These elements are specifically designed to provide enhanced uplift, forward projection, and comfortable containment for fuller busts.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
A well-fitting bra should have the band sitting snug and level on your back, the underwire following the natural curve of your breast, and the cups fully enclosing the breast without gaping or spilling over. The straps should stay in place without digging in.
Can I machine wash this bra?
No, this bra is strictly hand wash only. Machine washing and especially tumble drying can damage the delicate materials, lace, underwire, and strap components.
What material is the Fantasie Lucia Side Support Bra made from?
The bra's cup and top cup lining are made from 100% Polyester. The wing is made from 68% Polyamide and 32% Elastane. The shoulder straps are made with a soft peach skin finish.
What does 'side support' mean in the context of this bra?
Side support refers to an extra panel or construction within the cup, usually on the outer side, that helps to draw the breast tissue towards the center, providing better uplift and a more forward-projected shape, as well as preventing side spillage.
How many hooks does the fastening have?
The number of hooks varies by size. D-G cups typically have a 2-hook fastening, while GG-J cups have a 3-hook fastening. The Top Cup Lining extends to HH-J cups.
Is the floral pattern available in other colors?
The product information indicates availability in White and Blue color families for this floral pattern. Specific color availability may vary.
Troubleshooting
Bra feels uncomfortable or is digging in
Ensure you have selected the correct band and cup size. Check that the underwire is sitting correctly in the natural crease of your breast and that the band is snug but not too tight. Adjust the shoulder straps to the correct tension.
Straps are slipping
Adjust the shoulder straps using the hardware. Ensure the bra band is sitting level and is snug; a loose band can cause straps to slip. Re-check the strap adjustment after washing.
Lace appears damaged or stretched
This may be due to improper washing or drying. Ensure you are hand washing with a mild detergent and drying flat. Avoid any harsh scrubbing or wringing of the lace areas.
Underwire is poking out
This can occur with prolonged wear or incorrect washing. It may indicate the bra has reached the end of its lifespan or the underwire casing has been damaged. It is not typically repairable.
