Product Information
Full details
The Fantasie Reflect Side Support Bra is designed for adult women seeking elegant comfort and excellent support. Its key benefit lies in its three-piece cup with side support, providing superior uplift and forward projection. A potential caveat is that it requires hand washing to maintain fabric integrity. This underwired bra features a soft-touch fabric, stretch lace, and wide wiring for comfort, along with a lace back wing and powernet inner for secure anchorage. The top cup is made of powerful stretch lace with added elastane for improved shape and support, while the tow-back design with angled rings ensures straps stay put.

FAQs
What makes the side support feature effective?
The three-piece cup design includes a specific panel on the side that is structured to lift the breast tissue from the side, directing it forward to create uplift and a smooth, projected shape.
Is this bra suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, the Fantasie Reflect Side Support Bra is designed for everyday wear, offering comfort and support with its soft fabrics, wide wiring, and secure strap system.
How do I determine my correct size?
Measure your band size by wrapping a tape measure around your ribcage directly under your bust, ensuring it's snug. Measure your cup size by wrapping the tape measure around the fullest part of your bust. Subtract the band measurement from the bust measurement to determine your cup size (e.g., a 1-inch difference is an A cup, 2 inches is a B cup, and so on, though specific brand guides may vary).
Can I wear this bra for exercise?
While it offers good support for daily activities, this bra is primarily designed for everyday comfort and elegance, not high-impact sports. For strenuous exercise, a dedicated sports bra is recommended.
What is the material composition of the bra?
The bra is made from a soft-touch fabric and stretch lace. The top cup has increased elastane content for better support and shape. The back wing features lace with powernet for anchorage.
Are the shoulder straps removable?
No, the shoulder straps are fully adjustable but are not designed to be removed.
What does 'wide wired' mean?
Wide wired refers to underwires that are broader than standard wires, designed to distribute pressure more evenly across the bust and under the arm, providing enhanced comfort and support.
Troubleshooting
Straps are slipping down
Ensure the straps are adjusted correctly. The tow-back design helps, but proper initial adjustment is key. Check that the bra band is sitting correctly at your true waistline.
Underwire feels uncomfortable
Verify that you have the correct cup size; an incorrect size can cause the underwire to dig in. The wide wired design is intended for comfort, but fit is paramount.
Bra is not providing enough support
Confirm that the band size is correct, as the band provides the majority of the support. Ensure the cups fully encapsulate the breast tissue and that the side support panels are correctly positioned.
Lace appears to be stretching out
Follow the hand wash only instructions carefully. Avoid harsh detergents or stretching the fabric during washing and drying to preserve its elasticity.

Compatibility: This bra is designed for adult women and is compatible with most types of everyday clothing, particularly where smooth lines and support are desired.
