FAQs
What material is the Fantasie Lucia Side Support Bra made of?
The cups and top cup lining are 100% Polyester. The wing is made of 68% Polyamide and 32% Elastane.
How should I wash this bra?
This bra must be hand washed only in cool water with a mild detergent. Do not tumble dry.
Can I wear this bra under a t-shirt?
While it offers good support, the seamed cups and lace detailing might be slightly visible under very thin t-shirts. It works best under clothing where a smooth, projected shape is acceptable or when the fabric is not too fine.
What does 'side support' mean in this bra?
Side support refers to an additional panel within the cup structure designed to help push the breast tissue towards the center, enhancing uplift and forward projection for a rounded shape.
What is the difference in hook fastening for different cup sizes?
Bras in D-G cup sizes have a 2-hook fastening, while GG-J cup sizes have a 3-hook fastening for added support. Top cup lining is also included in HH-J cups.
Why should I not tumble dry this bra?
Tumble drying can damage the delicate materials, especially the straps and rings, potentially causing them to break or lose elasticity due to the heat.
Is this bra suitable for larger cup sizes?
Yes, the design, including wide wiring, a lined top cup, and specific hook fastenings for larger sizes (GG-J), is intended to provide ample support for fuller busts.
Troubleshooting
Straps digging in
Adjust the straps to a more comfortable length. Ensure the band is fitting correctly, as a too-loose band can cause straps to bear too much weight.
Band riding up
Check if the band size is correct; it should sit snugly on the ribcage. Ensure the back clasp is fastened on the outermost hooks for a new bra, allowing for tightening as it stretches.
Side support not effective
Ensure the bra is positioned correctly, with the side support panel lying flat against the side of the breast. The cups should fully encompass the breast tissue.
Bra feels uncomfortable
Verify the bra size and fit. Ensure all seams and wires are lying flat and not digging into the skin. Hand washing as per instructions can also help maintain fabric softness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
This bra is designed for immediate wear. Ensure you have selected the correct size by checking the band and cup fit. The bra fastens with hooks and eyes at the back; the number of hooks varies by cup size (2 hooks for D-G cups, 3 hooks for GG-J cups).
Compatibility:
While designed for support, the seamed cups and delicate lace detailing may be visible under very thin or clingy fabrics. It is best suited for medium to heavier weight fabrics or when a smooth, projected shape is desired.
Care:
- Hand wash only in cool water.
- Use a mild detergent specifically for lingerie.
- Do not bleach.
- Do not iron.
- Do not tumble dry; this can damage the straps, rings, and fabric.
- Lay flat to dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Avoid harsh chemicals or fabric softeners.
