FAQs
How do I determine my correct Fantasie Portia Balconette Bra size?
It is recommended to order your usual size as this product is designed to fit true to size. For precise measurements, consult Fantasie's official sizing guide or get professionally fitted. Ensure the band is snug and parallel to the ground, and the cups fully enclose your breasts without any bulging or gaping.
Can this bra be machine washed?
No, the Fantasie Portia Balconette Bra must be hand washed only. Use a mild detergent in cool water and lay flat to dry. Machine washing or tumble drying can damage the delicate materials and embroidery.
What is the main benefit of the inner side sling?
The inner side sling is designed to provide additional support and a natural shaping effect, particularly beneficial for larger cup sizes, helping to centre and uplift the bust.
Is this bra suitable for a very full bust?
Yes, this bra is specifically designed with a wide wired construction and an inner side sling to offer enhanced support and comfort for fuller busts, available in cup sizes up to FF.
What material is the bra made of?
The bra consists of a mix of materials: the wing is typically 65% Polyamide and 35% Elastane, the cup is 100% Polyamide, and the top cup is 100% Polyester, contributing to its support, comfort, and decorative elements.
Can I wear this bra under tight-fitting clothing?
While the bra offers a smooth silhouette due to its no-padding design, the seam details and embroidery might be visible under very thin or tight-fitting garments. It is best suited for clothing where these details won't be overly apparent or can add a decorative touch.
What is the return policy for this item?
Products must be returned unworn, unwashed, in their original condition with all tags and original order packing slip. Fantasie reserves the right to refuse returns that show signs of wear or do not meet these criteria.
Troubleshooting
Bra is uncomfortable or digging in
Adjust the straps and ensure the band is sitting correctly. Check if the size is appropriate; a bra that is too tight in the band or cups can cause discomfort. Ensure the underwire is sitting flat against the ribcage, not on breast tissue.
Straps are slipping off the shoulders
Tighten the adjustable straps. If the issue persists, ensure the bra band is snug and level. The back band should be parallel to the floor.
Underwire feels prominent or uncomfortable
Ensure the underwire channels are lying flat against the ribcage and are not digging into the breast tissue. If the bra is a new style, it may require a short break-in period. Confirm you have selected the correct cup size; if the cup is too small, the wire may sit incorrectly.
Embroidery or fabric appears damaged after washing
Review the washing instructions carefully. Ensure only hand washing in cool water with a mild detergent was performed. Avoid harsh scrubbing or machine washing/drying, which can damage delicate embellishments.
