What does the 'concealed side sling' do?

Will the gold-coloured ring detail get hot in the sun?

Troubleshooting

Swimsuit feels too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size by referring to the Fantasie sizing chart. Adjust the shoulder straps and check the back clasp for proper fastening.

Underwire is uncomfortable

The underwire is designed to provide support; however, if it causes discomfort, ensure the bra cups are seated correctly. For some individuals, an underwire style may not be the best fit.

Color fading or fabric stretching

Follow the care instructions precisely, particularly regarding rinsing after use, hand washing with mild detergent, and air drying away from direct sunlight.

Loss of shape or support

Avoid harsh washing methods, machine drying, or excessive stretching. Proper care and storage are essential for maintaining the swimsuit's structure.
