Product Information
Full details
The Fantasie Illusion Underwired Side Support Bra is designed for adults seeking a reliable, everyday foundation garment that blends aesthetics with functional support. Its primary benefit is the three-part cup construction combined with wide underwires, which delivers a lifted and centered silhouette for a wide range of bust types. A key caveat for potential buyers is that because it features non-stretch lace and structured underwires, ensuring an accurate professional fit is essential to avoid discomfort during prolonged daily wear.

FAQs
Is this bra suitable for daily wear?
Yes, the Fantasie Illusion is specifically designed for everyday use, focusing on balancing long-term support with aesthetic comfort.
How do I ensure I am ordering the right size?
We recommend a professional fitting, as the three-part cup construction relies on precise volume distribution to provide its signature support.
Does the lace stretch over time?
The lace is flat and intended to remain stable; however, the stretch band at the neckline provides the necessary flexibility for a comfortable fit.
Can I put this bra in the washing machine?
It is strongly recommended to hand wash only to protect the delicate lace and prevent the underwires from deforming or piercing the fabric.
What does 'side support' actually do?
Side support panels are fabric inserts inside the cup that help direct breast tissue forward and inward, preventing tissue from migrating toward the underarms.
Are the straps wide enough for heavy bust support?
Yes, the straps are designed to be sturdy and fully adjustable to provide the necessary support for various bust sizes while remaining comfortable.
Troubleshooting
Straps sliding off shoulders
Adjust the length of the straps and ensure the back band is not too loose, as a loose band causes the straps to fall outward.
Underwire feels uncomfortable or pokes
Check that your bra size is current and that the center gore is sitting flat against your sternum; if it is not, you may need a different cup size.
Lace is showing texture under thin shirts
The Illusion features flat lace for this reason, but if it is still visible, ensure the bra cup size is not too small, which can cause the lace to stretch or pucker.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent uplift and shaping due to the three-part cup design
- Flat lace finish ensures a smooth profile under most garments
- Wide underwires offer superior comfort compared to standard narrow-wire designs
- Fully adjustable straps allow for a highly personalized fit
- The flexible neckline band accommodates various bust shapes comfortably
Cons
- Lace detailing may require delicate care during washing
- Structured underwire style may not suit those who prefer wireless bras
- Specific sizing accuracy is crucial due to the rigid nature of the side support panels
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Fantasie Illusion Bra, proper fit and maintenance are required. When first putting the bra on, lean forward to ensure all breast tissue is fully encased within the cups. Adjust the back band so it sits level across your torso and tighten the peach-skin straps just enough to be secure without pulling the back band upward.
Care instructions are vital for maintaining the shape and elasticity:
- Hand Wash Only: Use a mild, non-biological detergent in cool water to preserve the lace and the integrity of the underwires.
- Avoid Wringing: Gently squeeze excess water out rather than twisting the fabric, which can damage the underwire channels.
- Lay Flat to Dry: Avoid using a tumble dryer, as high heat degrades the elastic properties of the straps and the stretch band along the neckline.
- Storage: Store flat or fold carefully to prevent the underwires from bending out of shape.
