Product Information

Full details

This Fantasie Magdalena Balcony Bra is designed for adult women seeking a blend of support and style. Its key benefit lies in the vertically seamed, non-padded cups that provide natural uplift and a flattering shape, enhanced by built-in underwiring for a secure fit. A potential caveat is that it requires hand washing to maintain its delicate embroidery and material integrity.

FAQs

How do I determine my correct bra size?

Measure your band size by wrapping a soft tape measure around your rib cage directly under your bust. Then, measure your cup size by wrapping the tape measure around the fullest part of your bust. Consult a size chart or a professional fitter for accurate conversion.

Can this bra be machine washed?

No, this bra should only be hand washed to preserve the delicate embroidery and fabric integrity. Use a mild detergent and avoid harsh washing methods.

What does 'balconette' style mean?

A balconette bra typically has cups that are cut horizontally, offering wider-set straps and providing a supportive, uplifting effect that creates a flattering cleavage. It's designed to be somewhat visible above lower necklines.

Is the underwire removable?

No, the underwire is built into the bra's construction for support and cannot be removed.

What is the purpose of the side sling?

The side sling is an additional piece of fabric on the side of the cup that helps to pull the breast tissue towards the center, providing extra support, uplift, and a more rounded shape.

What material is the bra made from?

The bra is primarily made from Polyester.

Can I wear this bra with very low-cut tops?

The balconette style can work with some lower necklines, but its design is generally best suited for moderate to higher cut tops where the top edge of the cup is not fully exposed.

Troubleshooting

Straps digging in

Ensure straps are adjusted correctly and not too tight. Check that the band is sitting comfortably and providing adequate support, as a tight band can cause straps to dig in.

Underwire discomfort

Verify the bra size and cup fit. Underwire should cup the breast tissue smoothly. If discomfort persists, the bra may be the wrong size or shape for your body.

Bra riding up

The band may be too loose. Ensure the band is snug and parallel to the floor. The bra should stay in place without needing adjustment.

Lack of support

Check if the band and straps are adjusted properly. The side sling and underwire are designed to provide support; ensure they are positioned correctly for your shape.
