Full details
The Fantasie Lucia Side Support Bra is designed for adult women seeking a blend of romantic aesthetics and robust support. Its key benefit lies in the three-piece cup with side support, offering excellent uplift and forward projection, enhanced by a wide wire and lined top cup for superior comfort, especially for larger busts.

FAQs
What makes the Lucia Side Support Bra different from other bras?
The Lucia Side Support Bra features an exclusive in-house floral design, a three-piece cup with a dedicated side support panel for enhanced uplift and projection, and a wider wire for added comfort. It's designed to provide robust support and a flattering shape, particularly for fuller busts.
How do I know if I have the right size?
A well-fitting bra should have the band sitting comfortably and snugly on your ribcage, the cups fully enclosing your breasts without gaping or spilling, and the straps adjusted so they don't dig in or slip off. The underwire should lie flat against your body.
Can I machine wash this bra?
No, the Fantasie Lucia Side Support Bra must be hand washed only in cool water. Machine washing and tumbling can damage the delicate materials and construction.
What is the purpose of the side support panel?
The side support panel is designed to help lift the breasts from the sides and gently guide them towards the center, creating forward projection and a smoother silhouette. It enhances the overall uplift provided by the bra.
Is the lace detail scratchy?
The lace is part of the design on the top cup. While designed to be comfortable, individual sensitivity may vary. The bra also features soft peach skin shoulder straps for added comfort.
What is the difference between the 2 hook and 3 hook fastening?
The number of hooks relates to the band size and support level. A 2-hook fastening is typically used for smaller band sizes (D-G cups), while a 3-hook fastening provides additional strength and stability for larger band sizes (GG-J cups).
Can I wear this bra for sports?
This bra is designed for everyday wear and offers excellent support. However, it is not specifically engineered as a sports bra, which typically provides higher impact resistance for strenuous activities. For intense exercise, a dedicated sports bra is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Bra straps are digging into shoulders.
Adjust the shoulder straps using the sliders to a comfortable length. Ensure the bra band is sitting correctly on your ribcage, as a loose band can cause straps to bear too much weight.
Underwire is uncomfortable or poking.
Verify that you have the correct cup size and that the underwire is sitting flat against your ribcage, fully enclosing the breast tissue. If discomfort persists, the bra might not be the right fit for your shape.
Bra is not providing enough support.
Check that the band is fastened on the loosest hook (for a new bra) and is snug against your body. Ensure all breast tissue is lifted and contained within the cups. A properly fitted band is crucial for overall support.
Color fades after washing.
Always hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly. Avoid soaking the bra for extended periods. Ensure you are following the 'Hand Wash Only' and 'Do Not Tumble Dry' instructions.
