Product Information
Full details
The Fantasie Lucia Side Support Bra is designed for adult women seeking a supportive and comfortable everyday bra with a romantic aesthetic. Its key benefit lies in the three-piece cup with side support, offering excellent uplift and forward projection, complemented by a beautiful floral print and stretch lace details. A potential caveat is that it requires hand washing and should not be tumble dried to maintain its integrity.

FAQs
How do I find my correct Fantasie Lucia bra size?
Measure your underbust for the band size and your fullest part of the bust for the cup size. Refer to Fantasie's official sizing chart for accurate conversion. Ensure the bra fits snugly on the loosest hook initially, with straps adjusted for comfort.
Can I machine wash this bra?
No, the Fantasie Lucia Side Support Bra must be hand washed only. Machine washing, especially with the underwire and delicate lace, can cause damage and reduce the bra's lifespan.
Why should I not tumble dry the bra?
The heat from a tumble dryer can damage the elastic in the fabric, weaken the straps, and potentially melt or damage the metal components of the bra, leading to a loss of shape and support.
What does 'side support' mean in a bra?
Side support refers to an additional panel or construction within the bra cup, typically on the outer side, designed to help lift the breast tissue from the sides and provide forward projection, creating a more rounded and uplifted shape.
Is this bra suitable for larger cup sizes (e.g., HH, J)?
Yes, Fantasie bras, including the Lucia style, are often designed to offer support for a range of larger cup sizes. The wide wiring, lined top cup, and side support features are specifically intended to accommodate and support fuller busts.
What is the material composition of the bra?
The Top Cup Lining & Cup are made of 100% Polyester. The Wing is composed of 68% Polyamide and 32% Elastane.
Does the floral pattern come in different colors?
Based on available information, the Fantasie Lucia Side Support Bra is offered in both White and Blue color families, both featuring a floral pattern.
Troubleshooting
Bra feels too tight or too loose around the band
Adjust the hook and eye clasps. If it's consistently uncomfortable, consider trying a different band size in the same cup size.
Straps dig into shoulders
Ensure the straps are adjusted correctly – they should be snug but not tight. If the issue persists, the band size might be too large, causing the straps to bear too much weight.
Underwire poking or uncomfortable
Check that the bra is the correct size and that the underwire is seated correctly in the cup channel. If the underwire is damaged, the bra may need replacement.
Lace feels scratchy
After the first proper wash (following care instructions), the lace may soften. If it remains uncomfortable, this particular style may not suit very sensitive skin.
