Product Information
Full details
The Fantasie Lucia Side Support Bra is designed for adult women seeking comfortable and supportive everyday wear with a romantic aesthetic. Its key benefit lies in its excellent uplift and forward projection, achieved through a three-piece cup with side support and a wide wire. A potential caveat is that it requires hand washing to maintain its delicate materials and structure. Key features include a romantic floral print, a lined top cup for comfort, adjustable straps, and printed power net wings for anchorage.

FAQs
How do I know my correct bra size?
Proper sizing is crucial. Measure your band size by wearing a non-padded bra, wrapping a soft tape measure around the ribcage directly under your bust, keeping the tape level. Measure your bust size by wrapping the tape measure around the fullest part of your bust. Consult the Fantasie size chart for conversion.
Can I machine wash this bra?
No, this bra must be hand washed only. Machine washing can damage the delicate materials, lace, and structure.
What are the materials used in this bra?
The cup is 100% Polyester, the lace is 68% Polyamide and 32% Elastane, the top cup lining is 100% Polyester, and the wing is 32% Elastane and 68% Polyester.
Why is hand washing important for this bra?
Hand washing helps to preserve the delicate lace, printed fabric, and the elasticity of the power net wings, ensuring the bra maintains its shape, support, and appearance over time.
What does 'side support' mean in a bra?
Side support refers to features, often built into the cup structure or side panels, that help to pull the breast tissue towards the center, providing uplift and forward projection for a smoother silhouette.
Can I wear this bra for sports?
This bra is designed for everyday support and shaping. It is not specifically engineered for high-impact sports, which typically require specialized sports bras with higher levels of compression and support.
How do I care for the delicate bow detail?
When hand washing, gently clean around the bow detail. Avoid pulling or stretching it. Ensure it is not exposed to high heat during drying.
Troubleshooting
Bra straps slipping
Ensure straps are adjusted correctly. If slipping persists, check that the band size is appropriate. Sometimes, washing the bra can help reduce slipperiness of the fabric.
Underwire discomfort
Verify the band and cup size are correct. An incorrect fit is the most common cause of underwire discomfort. Ensure the bra is washed and dried according to care instructions to maintain its structure.
Fading of the floral print
Hand wash using a mild detergent in cold water. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive wringing. Air dry away from direct sunlight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As an undergarment, the Fantasie Lucia Side Support Bra requires no 'setup' beyond being worn. It is compatible with most standard clothing types. Proper care is essential to maintain its quality and longevity:
- Washing: This bra must be hand washed only. Use a mild detergent in cool or lukewarm water. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. The heat from a dryer can damage the straps, rings, and fabric. Reshape the bra gently and lay it flat to air dry, away from direct sunlight or heat.
- Storage: Store folded or laid flat to prevent distortion of the shape.
