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 is excellent uplift and forward projection thanks to a three-piece cup with integrated side support, all wrapped in a beautiful floral print. A potential caveat is that it requires hand washing only to maintain its delicate lace and fabric.

FAQs
What material is the Fantasie Lucia Side Support Bra made of?
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.
How should I wash this bra?
It is essential to hand wash the bra only using a mild detergent in cool or lukewarm water. Do not tumble dry.
Why is side support important in a bra?
Side support helps to draw the breast tissue towards the centre of the chest, providing enhanced uplift and a forward projection for a smoother silhouette and comfortable shape.
Can I wear this bra for sports?
This bra is designed for everyday wear and general support. It is not intended to be a sports bra and may not provide adequate support for high-impact activities.
What does 'underwired' mean?
Underwired means the bra has a thin, flexible wire sewn into the bottom of each cup. This wire provides structure, support, and helps to lift and shape the bust.
Will the floral print fade with washing?
Following the hand wash only instructions carefully will help preserve the vibrancy of the floral print. Avoid harsh detergents or excessive heat.
Where is the sizing information for this bra?
Sizing details like band size (e.g., 36) and cup size (e.g., HH) are typically found on the product tag and in the product description online. This guide lists available sizes such as 36HH, 40F, 32J, etc.
Troubleshooting
Bra feels uncomfortable or digs in.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Adjust the shoulder straps and check that the band is sitting level on your back. The underwire should encase the breast tissue, not sit on it.
Straps are slipping.
Make sure the straps are adjusted correctly. If they continue to slip, the bra may be too loose overall, or the straps may need replacement if the elastic has worn out.
Lace is snagged or damaged.
Handle the bra with care during washing and wear. If a small snag occurs, do not pull it, as this can cause a larger run in the fabric. For significant damage, consider if the bra needs replacing.
Band feels loose or rides up.
Try fastening the bra on a tighter hook. If it still rides up, the band may have lost its elasticity, and it might be time to consider a new bra or a smaller band size.
