FAQs
Is this bra padded?
No, the Fantasie Marie Balconette Bra is non-padded, relying on vertical seams for lift and shape.
Can I machine wash this bra?
It is strongly recommended to hand wash to preserve the delicate embroidery and the integrity of the underwires.
What is the primary material used?
The bra is constructed primarily from polyester, chosen for its durability and ability to hold intricate floral prints.
Does this bra provide extra lift?
Yes, it features hidden side support panels and vertical seams specifically designed to provide lift and centering.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
Ensure the band is firm and level across your back, and the center gore sits flat against your chest bone.
Troubleshooting
Underwire is digging into the ribcage
Ensure you are using the correct band size; a band that is too tight often forces the wires to arch away from the body.
Straps slipping off the shoulders
Adjust the tension of the straps using the rear sliders; ensure they are snug but not tight enough to leave indentations.
Cup wrinkling or gaping
This may indicate the cup size is too large or the shape of the bra does not match your natural breast fullness.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent lift provided by non-padded vertical seams
- Hidden side support helps create a smooth profile
- Wide underwires reduce pressure for all-day comfort
- Sophisticated floral embroidery aesthetic
- Sturdy back design ensures proper positioning
Cons
- Non-padded cups may not offer full coverage for all breast shapes
- Polyester fabric requires hand washing to avoid damage
- Limited stretch compared to elastane-heavy alternatives
Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure the underwire sits flat against your sternum without digging into breast tissue. If the center gore does not lie flat, consider checking your band size.
Care Instructions:
- Hand Wash Only: Use cool water and a mild detergent suitable for delicate garments.
- Avoid Wringing: Gently squeeze out excess water; do not wring or twist the cups, as this can distort the underwire.
- Lay Flat to Dry: Always air dry the bra flat or hang it by the center gore to prevent stretching the straps.
- Storage: Store flat or folded neatly to maintain the shape of the cups and ensure the underwires remain aligned.
