FAQs

What is a balconette bra?

A balconette bra, also known as a balcony or shelf bra, features cups that are typically cut horizontally. This design lifts the breasts upwards and outwards, creating a fuller, more rounded appearance and enhancing cleavage, often without padding.

What does 'underwired' mean?

Underwired means the bra has a flexible wire sewn into the bottom of each cup. This wire provides structure, support, and lift to the breasts.

Is this bra suitable for larger cup sizes?

Yes, the Fantasie Magdalena Balconette Bra is designed with support in mind and features an inner side sling in larger sizes (like the 32FF example) for additional uplift and shape.

Can I machine wash this bra?

No, this bra requires hand washing only. Machine washing can damage the delicate materials, embroidery, and the structural integrity of the bra.

What is the best way to dry this bra?

After hand washing, gently squeeze out excess water without wringing. Lay the bra flat on a towel away from direct heat and reshape it. Never tumble dry.

What does the 'vertical seamed cup' feature do?

Vertical seams in the cups help to shape and lift the breasts, contributing to a rounded appearance and enhancing cleavage without the need for padding.

What materials are used in this bra?

The bra is primarily made of Polyester for the cup, with the wing being a blend of Polyamide and Elastane. The wing lining is also a Polyamide and Elastane blend.

Troubleshooting

Straps digging in or slipping

Adjust the centre-pull straps for a snug but comfortable fit. Ensure the bra band is sitting level on your back. If slipping persists, check if the band size is correct or if the straps are fully extended.

Underwire discomfort

Ensure you have the correct band and cup size. The wide wires are designed for comfort, but if discomfort occurs, re-evaluate sizing. The underwire should encase the breast tissue and sit flat against the ribcage.

Embroidery snagging

Handle the bra with care, especially when washing and drying. Avoid contact with rough surfaces or sharp jewellery that could catch on the delicate threads.

Bra losing shape after washing

Strictly adhere to the hand wash and dry flat instructions. Never machine wash or tumble dry, as this will damage the structure.
