FAQs
What makes the Fantasie Reflect bra suitable for larger cup sizes?
The bra features a three-piece cup with side support for excellent uplift and forward projection, wide wiring for comfort, and a powerful stretch lace top cup with increased elastane for better support and shape, all contributing to accommodating larger sizes effectively.
How do I determine the correct hook fastening for my size?
The Fantasie Reflect bra uses a 2-hook fastening for sizes D through FF cups. For larger sizes, G through H cups, it utilizes a 3-hook fastening for added support and comfort.
Can this bra be machine washed?
It is recommended to hand wash the Fantasie Reflect bra only. Machine washing may damage the delicate lace and supportive structure. Always use a mild detergent and avoid bleach or fabric softeners.
What is the main benefit of the 'tow back' strap design?
The 'tow back' feature with angled rings is designed to give a centre pull through the straps, which helps to prevent them from slipping off the shoulders during wear.
Is the lace on this bra scratchy?
The bra is made from a 'soft touch' stretch lace. While designed for comfort, individual sensitivity to lace can vary. It's always advisable to wash the bra before its first wear.
What does 'wide wired' mean in the product description?
'Wide wired' refers to the underwire casing being wider than standard. This design aims to provide increased comfort and support by distributing pressure more evenly around the bust.
What type of support does the side support feature offer?
The underwired side support is specifically designed to help gently guide the breast tissue towards the centre, promoting uplift and a forward-projected shape for a flattering silhouette.
Troubleshooting
Straps keep slipping
Ensure the straps are adjusted correctly. The tow-back design with angled rings helps, but proper tension is crucial. Check if the back band is sitting too low, which can cause straps to slip.
Underwires are uncomfortable or digging
Verify that the band size and cup size are correct. If the underwire is digging into the armpit or ribcage, the cup size might be too small or the band too loose. Consider the wide wired design for enhanced comfort.
Bra is not providing enough support
Confirm the correct band and cup size. The band should be snug. Ensure the centre gore is sitting flat against the chest and the cups are fully encompassing the breast tissue.
Lace feels itchy
Though made from soft-touch lace, some individuals may have sensitivities. Ensure the bra is washed before first wear. If irritation persists, consider trying a bra with smoother cup linings.
