Product Information
Full details
The Fantasie Illusion Side Support Bra is an ideal daily undergarment for adults seeking reliable support and a streamlined silhouette. Engineered with a specialized three-piece cup and side support panels, it provides excellent uplift and forward projection, though users should note that the underwired construction requires careful sizing to ensure the flat lace top cup remains comfortable throughout the day.

FAQs
Is this bra suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, it is designed as an everyday essential with features like centre pull straps and a stretch neckline specifically chosen for comfort over long periods.
What material is this bra made of?
This model is primarily constructed from nylon, known for its durability and smooth finish under clothing.
How should I wash the lace portion?
Use a gentle detergent in cool water and wash by hand. Avoid rubbing the lace vigorously against itself to prevent snagging.
Does the wire go all the way to the armpit?
The bra uses wide wires designed for support, which may extend further toward the underarm than a standard plunge or demi-cup bra.
Can I put this in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine cycles can distort the underwires and damage the delicate lace top cup.
What does 'tow back' mean?
A tow back is a configuration where the straps are set closer together at the back to prevent them from sliding off the shoulders.
Troubleshooting
Wires digging into the skin
This often indicates that the band size is too tight or the cup size is too small. Re-measure your ribcage and cup volume.
Straps slipping off shoulders
Adjust the strap length using the rear sliders. If the issue persists, ensure the 'tow back' design is positioned correctly against your shoulder blades.
Cup edge digging into tissue
The stretch band on the top cup is designed to sit flat; if it creates a bulge, you may need a cup size up to accommodate your natural bust tissue.
Pros and Cons

- Prevents strap slippage with the tow back design
- Stretch lace neckline accommodates different bust types

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity and effectiveness of your Fantasie Illusion Bra, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Always ensure the band sits horizontally across your back and the center gore lies flat against your sternum.
- Cleaning: Hand washing is strongly recommended to preserve the integrity of the underwires and the stretch lace.
- Drying: Never place in a tumble dryer. Lay the bra flat or hang it by the gore to air dry in the shade to prevent the nylon material from losing its elasticity.
- Storage: Store by laying the cups inside one another or hanging to keep the wire shape intact.
