FAQs

What makes this bra 'balconette' style?

A balconette bra typically has wider-set straps and cups that are cut horizontally, revealing more of the cleavage and providing a lifted, 'balcony' effect.

Is this bra suitable for larger busts?

The underwiring and seamed cups are designed to offer support, and this style is often recommended for larger cup sizes. However, fit is personal and depends on individual shape.

Can I wear this bra under a t-shirt?

Yes, while it features decorative embroidery, the non-padded nature and uplifting design can work well under many types of tops, including t-shirts, for a smooth silhouette.

How do I know if I have the right size?

A well-fitting bra should have the band sitting level, straps that don't dig in or slip, and cups that fully contain the breast tissue without gaping or spilling.

What is the purpose of the side sling?

The side sling is designed to help push the breast tissue towards the center, enhancing shape and providing additional support and forward projection.

Can I machine wash this bra?

No, the care instructions specify hand wash only to preserve the delicate fabric and construction of the bra.

Does this bra come in other colors?

The Fantasie Magdalena range is available in various colors and styles. Please check product listings for available options.

Troubleshooting

Bra straps constantly slipping

Ensure the straps are adjusted correctly and not too loose. If slipping persists, the straps may be at their maximum adjustment or the bra size may not be optimal.

Underwire poking or feeling uncomfortable

This can indicate an incorrect band or cup size, or that the underwire has shifted. Ensure the band is snug and the cups fully encapsulate the breast tissue. If discomfort persists, the bra may not be the right fit.

Band riding up in the back

The band should be parallel to the floor. If it's riding up, the band is likely too loose. Try using the innermost hook setting or consider a smaller band size.

Cups not fitting smoothly or gaping

Ensure the center gore sits flat against the chest and the cups fully contain the breast. Adjust the straps and check that the correct cup size has been selected.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

This product requires no assembly. The 'setup' involves selecting the correct size and putting it on.

  1. Fasten the bra using the hook-and-eye closure at the back.
  2. Adjust the shoulder straps for a snug but comfortable fit.

Compatibility:

This bra is designed for adult women and is compatible with most standard clothing types. It is particularly effective under garments where a smooth, uplifted silhouette is desired.

Care:

  • Washing: Hand Wash Only. Use cool water and a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
  • Drying: Do not tumble dry. Gently squeeze out excess water and hang or lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight or heat.
  • Storage: Store folded or rolled, rather than hanging by the straps, to maintain shape.
