Product Information
Full details
The Fantasie Magdalena Balcony Bra is designed for adult women seeking comfortable, supportive, and aesthetically pleasing lingerie. Its key benefit is natural uplift and a flattering silhouette thanks to its vertically seamed, non-padded cups and underwiring. A potential caveat is that it requires hand washing to maintain its delicate embroidery and fabric.

FAQs
How do I find my correct bra size?
Measure your underbust (band size) and the fullest part of your bust (cup size). Many lingerie retailers offer fitting services for accurate sizing. Ensure the band is snug and parallel to the floor, and the cups fully enclose the breast without gaping or spilling.
What does 'balconette' mean for a bra style?
A balconette bra typically has wider-set straps and cups that are cut lower, offering more coverage on the bottom half of the breast. It aims to lift and separate the breasts, creating a rounded, full appearance, often with a slight cleavage.
Can I machine wash this bra?
No, this bra is recommended for hand wash only to preserve the delicate embroidery and fabric integrity. Machine washing can damage the underwire, straps, and decorative elements.
What is a side sling in a bra?
A side sling is an extra piece of fabric, often made of a stronger material, sewn into the inner side of the cup. It helps to pull the breast tissue towards the center, providing additional support, shaping, and preventing outward projection.
Is this bra suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, with its comfortable construction, adjustable straps, and supportive features like wide wires and a side sling, it is designed for both daily wear and special occasions. However, care should be taken due to the delicate embroidery.
What material is the Fantasie Magdalena Bra made from?
The bra is primarily made from Polyester, which contributes to its smooth finish, durability, and the ability to hold intricate embroidery details.
Does this bra offer different sizes?
Yes, this bra is available in various band and cup sizes to accommodate different body types. Check the product listing for the specific size range available. The product information indicates it is available in sizes like 38D, 38E, 36GG, 30E, etc.
Troubleshooting
Bra feels too tight or loose around the band.
Adjust the hook and eye clasps. If consistently uncomfortable, consider trying a different band size (e.g., one size up or down).
Straps dig into shoulders or slip off.
Adjust the strap length using the sliders. Ensure straps are centered on the shoulder. If they continue to slip, the cup size might be incorrect, or the band may be too large.
Underwire poking or discomfort.
Ensure the correct cup size is being worn. If the wire is bent or broken, the bra may need to be replaced. Check that the bra is not overstretched or washed improperly.
Embroidery appears damaged or snagged.
Handle with care during washing and wearing. Avoid snagging on jewelry or rough surfaces. If damage occurs, professional repair might be possible, but generally, it indicates a need for replacement.
