FAQs
How do I determine my correct Fantasie Lucia bra size?
It is recommended to get professionally measured or use a reliable online size guide. Key measurements include your band size (underbust) and cup size (bust minus underbust). The Fantasie Lucia Side Support Bra is designed to offer a specific fit, so accurate measurement is crucial.
Can I wear this bra for sports?
While the Fantasie Lucia offers good support, it is primarily designed for everyday wear and comfort. For high-impact activities, a sports-specific bra is recommended.
What is the 'side support' feature?
The side support is an additional panel integrated into the bra cup that helps to draw the bust towards the center, providing enhanced forward projection and a more streamlined silhouette.
What materials is the Fantasie Lucia bra made from?
The top cup lining and cup are made from 100% Polyester, while the wing is a blend of 68% Polyamide and 32% Elastane.
How often should I hand wash this bra?
It's generally recommended to hand wash your bras after every 1-2 wears to maintain hygiene and prolong their lifespan. This is especially true for bras made with delicate fabrics and underwires.
Does the floral pattern fade easily?
The floral pattern is designed to be durable. Following the hand wash and air dry instructions carefully will help to preserve the vibrancy of the print.
Can I adjust the back band?
The back band is typically secured with hook-and-eye closures, which allow for some adjustment in tightness. However, the primary adjustable components are the shoulder straps.
Troubleshooting
Bra feels uncomfortable or digs in.
Ensure you have selected the correct band and cup size. The band should sit snuggly on your ribcage, and the underwire should lie flat against your body. Adjust the shoulder straps for optimal lift and comfort.
Straps are slipping.
Check that the straps are adjusted correctly and not too loose. If slippage persists, ensure the bra band is sitting at the correct level and not too low.
Fabric feels rough after washing.
This may indicate that the bra was washed at too high a temperature or with harsh detergents. Always hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly.
Lace appears damaged.
Handle the bra with care, especially when washing and drying. Avoid snagging the lace on rough surfaces or jewelry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: As a bra, the "setup" involves selecting the correct size and adjusting the straps for a comfortable and supportive fit. Ensure the underwire sits flat against the ribcage and the cups fully enclose the bust without spillage or gaping.
Compatibility: This bra is designed for adult women. It pairs well with a variety of clothing styles, from t-shirts to more formal wear, owing to its smooth cup shape and attractive lace detailing. Available in multiple sizes and colors (as seen in variants), ensuring compatibility with different body shapes and preferences.
Care Instructions:
- Hand Wash Only: To preserve the fabric's integrity, stretch lace, and delicate components like straps and rings, hand washing in cool or lukewarm water is essential.
- Do Not Tumble Dry: Heat from a tumble dryer can damage the elastic fibers in the straps and wings, potentially causing them to break or lose their shape. Always air dry.
- Avoid Bleaching: Standard care for delicate lingerie.
- Reshape While Damp: Gently reshape the cups after washing to maintain their form.
