The Fantasie Illusion Underwired Full Cup Bra is designed for women seeking excellent support and shaping, particularly those who value a smooth silhouette under clothing. Its key benefit lies in the three-piece cup construction with side support, providing superior uplift and forward projection. A potential consideration is the need for hand washing to maintain fabric integrity and strap functionality.

A well-fitting bra should have the band sitting level and snug on your ribcage, the cups fully enclosing your bust without spillage or gapping, and the straps should stay in place without digging in. The center gore should lie flat against your chest.
Fantasie is a UK-based brand, and their sizing typically follows UK standards. It's recommended to use a size chart to convert your usual size (e.g., US) to the corresponding UK size for accurate fitting.
No, this bra should only be hand washed. Machine washing or tumble drying can damage the fabric, underwires, and adjustable straps.
Forward projection refers to how much the bra pushes the bust forward from the body, creating a lifted and streamlined shape rather than a rounded one. This is achieved through the cup design and supportive structure.
The lace is designed with a soft handle feel and a stretch band along the neck edge for ease of fit. While individual sensitivity varies, it is generally designed for comfort.
The side support panel is integrated into the cup construction to help gather the bust from the sides, enhancing uplift and providing a smoother, more forward profile, which can reduce side-bulge.
Bras typically last 6-12 months with regular wear and proper care. Signs that a bra needs replacement include stretched bands, worn-out elastic, damaged straps, or a loss of support.
Adjust the shoulder straps to a looser setting. Ensure the bra band is at the correct level and not too tight.
The band may be too loose. Try tightening the straps or consider if a smaller band size is needed. Ensure the back closure is fastened correctly.
Check if the correct cup size is being used. The cup may be too small (causing spillage) or too large (causing gapping). Ensure the center gore lies flat against the sternum.
Ensure the underwires are sitting correctly in the bra's cradle, fully enclosing the breast tissue. If discomfort persists, the bra style or size might not be suitable.
Setup: As a bra, the "setup" primarily involves proper fitting and adjustment. Ensure the band sits horizontally around your ribcage, parallel to the floor, and the cups fully enclose your bust. Adjust the shoulder straps for a comfortable yet secure fit, ensuring they do not dig into your shoulders or slip down.
Compatibility: This bra is designed for everyday wear with a wide range of clothing styles. It pairs well with fitted garments due to its smoothing capabilities.
