Full details
The Fantasie Talia Full Cup Bra is designed for adult women seeking a blend of striking aesthetic and supportive comfort.

FAQs
How do I determine my correct bra size?
Measure your band size by wrapping a soft tape measure around your ribcage directly under your bust. Measure your cup size by wrapping the tape measure around the fullest part of your bust. Use these measurements with a Fantasie size chart to find your best fit. It's recommended to get professionally measured if unsure.
What is the difference between cup sizes and hook fastenings?
The Talia bra uses 2 hook fastenings for cup sizes D through G, and 3 hook fastenings for cup sizes GG through J. This change in fastening provides adequate support for larger cup sizes.
Can I machine wash this bra?
No, machine washing is not recommended. Hand wash the bra in cool water (30°C) with a mild detergent to maintain its shape and fabric integrity.
What does 'three-piece cup with side support' mean?
This construction involves cutting the cup into three sections and adding an extra panel of fabric on the side. This design works together to lift the breasts upwards and inwards, creating a projected and rounded shape.
Is the embroidery on the top cup durable?
The Austrian-designed printed embroidery is crafted to be durable under normal wear and care conditions. Following the hand-wash-only instructions will help preserve its appearance.
What kind of support does the wide wiring offer?
The wide wiring is designed to distribute pressure more evenly around the base of the breast, providing comfortable and secure support without digging in, suitable for all-day wear.
Where is the decorative bow located?
A delicate bow is placed at the centre front of the bra, between the cups, adding a subtle decorative detail.
Troubleshooting
Bra feels uncomfortable or digs in
Ensure you have selected the correct band and cup size. Adjust the shoulder straps for a better fit. Check that the underwire is sitting correctly against your body and not on breast tissue.
Straps are slipping
Tighten the adjustable shoulder straps. Ensure the bra is fastened on the tightest hook setting that provides a secure fit; if it's too loose, consider a smaller band size.
Undergarment shows through clothing
While the design is striking, consider the fabric thickness of your outer garments. Smoother, thicker fabrics will conceal the pattern better than very thin or clingy materials.
Hook fastening feels insecure
Verify that you are using the correct number of hooks for your cup size (2 hooks for D-G, 3 hooks for GG-J). If the band feels loose even on the tightest setting, it may be time to consider a different size.
