Product Information
Full details
The Fantasie Marie Balconette Bra is designed for adults seeking a blend of sophisticated floral aesthetics and structural support for daily wear. This underwired garment offers a reliable lift through its carefully engineered cup construction and side support panels, making it an excellent choice for those who prioritize both shape and comfort. While its intricate embroidery and metallic detailing provide a high-end look, the non-padded, seamed structure requires a precise fit to ensure optimal performance throughout the day.

FAQs
Is this bra padded?
No, the Fantasie Marie Balconette features non-padded cups with vertical seams to provide shape through construction rather than padding.
How should I wash this bra?
Hand washing in cool water is best. If machine washing, use a mesh laundry bag and a gentle cycle with the hooks fastened.
What is the purpose of the side support?
The hidden side support panels are designed to move tissue toward the center, offering extra lift and a more streamlined silhouette.
Does this bra have a high back?
The back is constructed from firm, supportive fabric designed to maintain its shape, providing a secure and stable fit.
Can I wear this under a T-shirt?
Because of the floral embroidery and seams, it may have a visible texture under thin or skin-tight T-shirts; it is best suited for structured fabrics.
Troubleshooting
Underwire is digging into the ribcage
The band size may be too small or the cup size too small, causing the wire to distort. Try a sister size or ensure the band is not fastened too tightly.
Straps slipping off shoulders
Tighten the adjustable straps using the sliders. If they still slip, check that the band is snug enough, as a loose band often causes strap tension issues.
Cups gaping at the top
This often indicates the cup size is too large. Ensure the center gore is sitting flat against the chest; if it floats, the cup size needs adjustment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Fantasie Marie Balconette, proper care is essential. Due to the delicate nature of the embroidered floral fabric and the structured underwire, hand washing in cool water with a gentle detergent is recommended. If machine washing is necessary, always secure the hook-and-eye closure and place the bra inside a dedicated mesh laundry bag to protect the embroidery and prevent the underwire from catching on the drum. Avoid tumble drying, as the high heat can degrade the elasticity of the band and the integrity of the polyester fabric; instead, lay the bra flat or hang it to dry away from direct sunlight. When checking for fit, ensure the band is level across your back and the center gore sits flat against your sternum.
