FAQs
What makes the Magdalena bra a balconette style?
A balconette bra typically features wider-set straps and cups that are cut lower and horizontally, providing uplift and a rounded shape suitable for lower necklines.
Can I machine wash this bra?
No, the Fantasie Magdalena bra is recommended for hand wash only to preserve its delicate fabric, embroidery, and structure.
What is the purpose of the side sling?
The built-in side sling is designed to provide additional support and help center and uplift the breast for a smoother, more defined silhouette.
Is this bra suitable for larger busts?
Yes, Fantasie is known for its supportive designs, and this balconette bra, with its underwiring and side sling, is intended to offer good support for various bust sizes.
Does the embroidery cause irritation?
The embroidery is designed to be aesthetically pleasing. However, individual sensitivity can vary. Ensuring a proper fit is key to minimizing any potential discomfort.
What material is the bra made of?
The bra is primarily made of Polyester, which contributes to its smooth feel and the ability to hold its shape.
How do I know if I have the right size?
A well-fitting bra should have a snug band that stays in place, cups that fully contain the breast without gapping or spilling, and straps that don't dig in. Professional fitting advice is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Straps dig into shoulders
Adjust the straps to a looser setting. Ensure the band is at the correct tightness, as a loose band can cause straps to bear too much weight.
Bra band rides up
The band may be too large. Ensure the band is snug and sits parallel to the floor. Try a smaller band size if necessary.
Underwire poking or discomfort
Ensure you have the correct cup size. If the underwire is bent or damaged, it may need replacement. Seek professional fitting advice.
Cups are not fully enclosing the breast
This indicates an incorrect cup size. Try a larger cup size. Ensure the center gore sits flat against the sternum.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: As a piece of lingerie, the Fantasie Magdalena bra requires no 'setup' beyond being properly fitted and clasped. Ensure the band is snug and level around your torso, and the cups fully enclose the breast tissue. Adjust the straps for a comfortable, secure fit.
Compatibility: This bra is designed for adult women and is particularly well-suited for those who prefer non-padded, underwired support with a natural uplift. It pairs well with a variety of necklines due to its balconette style.
Care Instructions: To maintain the integrity and longevity of the Fantasie Magdalena bra:
- Hand Wash Only: This is crucial. Use lukewarm water and a mild detergent specifically for delicates.
- Rinse Thoroughly: Ensure all soap residue is removed.
- Do Not Wring or Twist: Gently squeeze out excess water.
- Reshape and Dry Flat: Lay the bra flat on a clean towel, reshape the cups, and allow it to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the fabric, underwiring, and embroidery.
