FAQs
How do I know if I have the right size?
A well-fitting bra should have the band sitting parallel to your body, the cups fully enclosing your breasts without gapping or spillage, and the straps should rest comfortably on your shoulders without digging in or slipping down. The center gore should lie flat against your sternum.
Can I machine wash this bra?
No, this bra is strictly hand wash only. Machine washing, especially with heat or agitation, can damage the delicate materials, underwire, and adjustable components.
What does 'side support' mean?
Side support refers to the construction within the cup designed to gently pull breast tissue from the sides towards the center, providing better forward projection and a more streamlined shape.
Is this bra suitable for full busts?
Yes, the Fantasie Lucia Side Support Bra is designed with features like a three-piece cup, side support, and wider wiring specifically to offer excellent support and uplift for fuller busts.
What materials is the bra made of?
The cup and top cup lining are 100% Polyester. The wing is made of 68% Polyamide and 32% Elastane. The straps are soft peach skin material.
Why should I avoid tumble drying?
Tumble drying can expose the bra's components, such as the adjustable straps, rings, and underwire casing, to excessive heat, which can cause them to melt, warp, or break, damaging the bra's structure and support.
Where can I find other sizes or colors?
This guide focuses on the specific Fantasie Lucia Side Support Bra - 36E. Please refer to the product listing or Fantasie's official website for availability of other sizes and the blue color variant.
Troubleshooting
Bra band is riding up.
Ensure the band is on the loosest hook setting that is still snug. The band should be parallel to the floor. If it continues to ride up, you may need a smaller band size.
Straps are digging into shoulders.
Adjust the straps to a comfortable length. The bra should not rely solely on straps for support; the band provides most of the support. If digging persists, ensure you have the correct band size and cup size.
Breast tissue is spilling out of the top or sides of the cup.
This indicates an incorrect cup size. Try a larger cup size. Ensure you are properly scooping all breast tissue into the cups during fitting.
Underwire is uncomfortable or poking.
Ensure the underwire channel is sitting correctly in the natural crease under the breast. If the wire is consistently uncomfortable, the cup size or shape might be incorrect for your breast shape, or the underwire might be damaged.
