FAQs
Is this bra padded?
No, the Marie Balconette is non-padded and features vertical seams for shaping and support.
Can I machine wash this bra?
No, the manufacturer strongly recommends hand washing only to protect the embroidery and the underwire structure.
What is the purpose of the hidden side support?
The side support helps to contain the breast tissue and provide a more forward-facing, lifted shape.
Are the straps adjustable?
Yes, the straps are fully adjustable and made from a soft peach-skin fabric for comfort.
Does this bra have a matching set?
The Marie collection features the signature floral sapphire print, and you can check for coordinating briefs within the same line.
What should I do if the band feels too tight?
Ensure you are using the loosest hook to start. If it remains too tight, consider a larger band size and a smaller cup size to maintain volume.
Troubleshooting
Underwire feels uncomfortable or pokes the skin
Ensure the bra is sized correctly and the center gore is sitting flat against your sternum. If it sits on breast tissue, a larger cup size may be required.
Straps slipping off the shoulders
Tighten the adjustable straps for a more secure fit, ensuring they are not so tight that they pull the band upward in the back.
Cups wrinkle or gap at the top
This often indicates the cup size is too large or the shape of the bra is not compatible with your breast profile.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longest lifespan for your Fantasie Marie bra, proper maintenance is essential. Always adjust the straps after putting the garment on to ensure the underwire sits flat against the chest wall without riding up. Because of the delicate floral embroidery and the structure of the underwires, this bra must be hand-washed. Avoid bleach, tumble drying, or ironing. When drying, lay the bra flat or hang it by the gore (the center piece) to maintain the shape of the cups and protect the elasticity of the band.
