FAQs
How do I determine my correct bra size?
Measure your underbust (band size) and fullest part of your bust (cup size). Many lingerie retailers offer professional fitting services for the most accurate sizing.
Can I machine wash this bra?
No, this bra is strictly hand wash only. Machine washing or tumble drying can damage the delicate materials and construction.
What does 'side support' mean in a bra?
Side support refers to additional fabric or structure on the side of the cup that helps to pull the breast tissue towards the center, providing uplift and a more forward projection.
What is the 'powernet wing' for?
The powernet wing is a strong, yet flexible, mesh fabric on the back and sides of the bra that provides anchorage and support, helping the bra to stay securely in place.
Is the lace on the top cup scratchy?
The Fantasie Lucia bra uses stretch lace which is designed to be soft and comfortable against the skin, while also offering a decorative element.
What kind of undergarments are best worn with this bra?
This bra works well with most types of clothing, including fitted tops and blouses, as it provides excellent shaping and a smooth silhouette. The romantic design can also be a feature in itself.
How do the hook fastenings differ?
Bras in D-G cup sizes typically have a 2-hook fastening. Larger cup sizes (GG-J) often feature a 3-hook fastening for increased support. For HH-J cups, there's also a top cup lining for added comfort and support.
Troubleshooting
Bra is uncomfortable or digging in.
Ensure you have the correct band and cup size. Check that the straps are adjusted properly and not too tight. The underwire should lie flat against the rib cage.
Straps are slipping.
Re-adjust the shoulder straps to a snugger fit. Ensure the back band is sitting level and not too low.
Fabric pilling or damage after washing.
Confirm that the bra is being hand washed only in cool water with a mild detergent, and is not being put in a tumble dryer. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
Lack of support.
Verify the correct size. The side support feature should be positioned correctly on the side of the bust. Ensure the band is firm and provides the primary support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
This is a bra, so setup involves selecting the correct size and fastening the bra using the hook-and-eye closure. Ensure the straps are adjusted for a comfortable fit.

Care:
- Hand Wash Only: Due to the delicate materials, including lace and specific fabrics, this bra must be hand washed in cool water with a mild detergent.
- Do Not Tumble Dry: Heat from a tumble dryer can damage the straps, rings, and delicate fabrics, potentially causing them to break or lose their shape.
- Air Dry: Gently reshape the bra and lay it flat to dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
