Full details
The Fantasie Illusion Underwire Side Support Bra is designed for adults seeking a reliable everyday foundation that combines sophisticated floral aesthetics with functional support.

FAQs
Is this bra suitable for a heavy bust?
Yes, the three-piece cup and side support panels are specifically designed to provide the necessary structure and uplift for larger bust sizes.
Does the lace show through thin fabrics?
The flat lace is designed to be low-profile, but as with all lace garments, it may be visible under extremely thin or tight-fitting synthetic fabrics.
How do I determine if 40DD is my correct size?
A proper fit should see the underwire encircling the breast tissue without sitting on it, and the band should remain parallel to the floor without rising up the back.
Can I put this bra in the dryer?
No, heat from a dryer will damage the elastic fibers and the delicate lace, leading to a loss of shape and support.
What is the purpose of the centre-pull straps?
Centre-pull straps are positioned further inward on the back, which helps prevent them from sliding off the shoulders for those with a narrow or sloping shoulder frame.
Troubleshooting
Shoulder straps sliding off
Adjust the strap sliders to tighten the fit or check that the band size is not too large, which can cause the back to rise and loosen strap tension.
Underwire poking or discomfort
Ensure the bra is correctly positioned in the inframammary fold and that the strap tension is balanced; if discomfort persists, you may need to verify your cup size.
Lace looks worn or snagged
Avoid washing with items containing hooks or zippers; use a mesh laundry bag if machine washing on a delicate cycle is absolutely necessary, though hand washing is strongly recommended.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Fantasie Illusion bra, proper care is essential. Always hand wash the garment in cool water using a gentle lingerie detergent to preserve the integrity of the lace and the elasticity of the fabric. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the synthetic fibers. After washing, gently press out excess water—do not wring or twist the cups—and lay the bra flat or hang it by the gore to air dry away from direct sunlight. When putting on the bra, ensure the underwires sit flat against your ribcage without sitting on top of breast tissue for maximum comfort and support. If you notice the underwire feeling tight or poking, re-adjust the shoulder straps first, as this is often the cause of uneven tension.
