The Fantasie Portia Balconette Bra is designed for adult females seeking comfortable and supportive everyday wear, particularly those requiring enhanced support for larger cup sizes. Its key benefit is the superior lift and shaping provided by the balconette style, wide wire, and inner side sling. A potential caveat is that it is recommended for hand wash only. This bra features a non-padded, underwired design with luxurious embroidery and metallic threads, a vertically seamed cup for cleavage enhancement, and a powernet wing for secure anchorage.

No, the Fantasie Portia Balconette Bra is a non-padded bra, designed to offer a natural shape and feel without added cushioning.
This bra is recommended for hand wash only. Use cool water and a mild detergent, then rinse and lay flat to air dry. Avoid machine washing and drying.
The product description indicates a true-to-size fit. However, bra fit can be personal, so consulting a sizing guide or trying on if possible is always recommended.
This bra is ideal for adult females seeking supportive and comfortable everyday wear, particularly those who benefit from the lift and shaping provided by a balconette style and who may require extra support for larger cup sizes.
The bra's wing is made of 65% Polyamide and 35% Elastane. The cup is 100% Polyamide, with the top cup specifically being 100% Polyester. It features embroidery with metallic threads.
Yes, the Fantasie Portia Balconette Bra is designed with a wide wire and an inner side sling specifically to provide enhanced comfort and support for larger cup sizes.
The non-padded construction and smooth seams generally allow this bra to be worn under many types of clothing. However, the embroidery detail might be visible under very thin or very tight fabrics.
Ensure the straps are adjusted correctly and not too loose. Check that the bra band is snug and sitting level on your back. If slippage persists, the straps may need replacement or the bra may be nearing the end of its lifespan.
Verify that the bra is the correct size, especially the band and cup. An underwire that digs in often indicates the bra is too small or the wrong shape. Ensure the underwire channels are intact and not broken.
The band should be firm and parallel to the floor. If it rides up, the band is likely too loose. Try using a tighter hook setting, or consider purchasing a smaller band size in your next purchase.
Gapping suggests the cup is too large or the bra is not sitting flush against the body. Overflow or spillage indicates the cup is too small. Adjusting straps can help, but a different cup or band size may be necessary.
Setup:
As a garment, the Fantasie Portia Balconette Bra requires no technical setup. The primary step is ensuring you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and support. The adjustable straps and multiple hook-and-eye fastenings allow for fine-tuning the fit.
Compatibility:
This bra is designed to be compatible with a wide range of adult female apparel. Its balconette style offers a lower profile under many necklines compared to full-cup bras. The unpadded nature means it integrates smoothly under most clothing fabrics.
Care Instructions:
To maintain the integrity and longevity of the Fantasie Portia Balconette Bra, hand wash only is recommended.
