Product Information
Full details
The Fantasie Marie Balconette Bra is designed for adults seeking a sophisticated, everyday lingerie option that balances aesthetic elegance with structural support. Featuring a vibrant floral pattern on a deep sapphire background, it provides an lifted, rounded silhouette through its non-padded, vertically seamed cups. While it offers excellent shaping and security, potential users should note that as an underwired garment, it requires careful sizing to ensure the wide wires sit comfortably against the ribcage.

FAQs
Is this bra padded?
No, the Fantasie Marie Balconette Bra is non-padded and relies on structural seams and underwires for shape.
What is the best way to wash this bra?
We recommend hand-washing in cool water and laying it flat to dry to protect the delicate embroidery and underwires.
Does this bra provide side support?
Yes, it features hidden side support panels designed to push breast tissue forward and center it.
What does the 'balconette' style mean?
A balconette bra features a wider-set strap design and a lower cut across the top of the cup compared to a full-coverage bra, providing a lifted, "shelf-like" look.
Is the fabric stretch-resistant?
The back fabric is designed to be firm to provide good positioning and structural integrity throughout the day.
Can I put this bra in the dryer?
No, heat from a dryer will damage the elastic and can warp the underwires.
Troubleshooting
Underwire is digging into the ribcage
Ensure the bra size is correct and the wires are positioned exactly in the breast crease. If it persists, consider a band size up.
Straps are slipping off shoulders
Check that the back band is firm enough to anchor the straps; you may need to tighten the back adjustment or try a smaller band size.
Cups are spilling over the top
This indicates the cup size is likely too small. Consider sizing up to the next cup volume (e.g., from DD to E).

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Fantasie Marie Balconette Bra, proper care is essential. Always hand-wash the garment in cool water using a gentle lingerie detergent. Avoid wringing out the bra, as this can distort the underwires and the elastic integrity of the back band; instead, lay it flat on a towel to air dry out of direct sunlight.
When putting on the bra, ensure the underwires are sitting directly in the inframammary fold (the crease where the breast meets the chest wall) to maximize support and prevent the wires from digging into the soft tissue. If you are unsure of your fit, check that the center gore lies flat against your sternum without causing discomfort.
