Full details
The Fantasie Pippa Side Support Bra is designed for the modern adult female seeking a blend of feminine style and exceptional support. Its key benefit lies in providing all-day comfort with excellent uplift and forward projection, thanks to its underwired three-section cup and side support. A potential caveat for some may be the hand-wash-only care requirement.

FAQs
What is the main benefit of the side support feature?
The side support feature helps to lift the bust and project it forward, creating a smooth, rounded shape and preventing side spillage.
Is this bra suitable for larger busts?
Yes, Fantasie is known for its supportive designs, and this side support bra is constructed to offer excellent uplift and comfort, often suitable for larger cup sizes.
Can I machine wash this bra?
No, this bra is hand-wash only. Machine washing can damage the delicate lace, underwire, and overall structure of the bra.
What does 'non-padded' mean?
Non-padded cups mean the bra does not have any extra foam or padding inserted into the cups. It provides a natural shape based on the wearer's own form.
How do I know if I have the correct band size?
The band should fit snugly and lie parallel to the floor all around the body. It should not ride up or feel too tight or too loose. Most people wear a band that is too big.
What material is the bra made from?
The bra is composed of 32% Elastane and 68% Polyester.
What is the significance of the wide wire?
The wide wire is designed to provide enhanced comfort and support by distributing pressure more evenly across the ribcage, reducing the likelihood of the wire digging in.
Troubleshooting
Bra straps falling down
Adjust the shoulder straps to be tighter. Ensure the bra is the correct size and that the wings are sitting flat against the body.
Underwire poking or discomfort
Check that the bra size is correct, particularly the band size. Ensure the underwire casing is intact. Hand-wash gently as per instructions, as harsh washing can damage the wire casing.
Band riding up
The band may be too loose. Try fastening the bra on the tightest hook setting. If it still rides up, a smaller band size might be needed.
Cups not fitting correctly (gaping or overflowing)
Ensure the cup size is appropriate. Gaping may indicate the cup is too large, while overflowing suggests it's too small. The centre gore should lie flat against the sternum.
