This balconette bra from Fantasie is designed for adult women seeking natural uplift and comfortable support.

FAQs
What is a balconette bra?
A balconette bra, also known as a balcony or demi-bra, typically features cups that are cut horizontally, offering less coverage than a full cup bra. It's designed to lift and separate the breasts, creating a flattering, slightly rounded shape and cleavage, making it ideal for lower-cut necklines.
Is this bra padded?
No, the Fantasie Magdalena Bra features non-padded cups. The cups are vertically seamed to provide shape and uplift without added padding.
How should I care for the floral embroidery?
To maintain the delicate floral embroidery, it is essential to hand wash the bra in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals, wringing, or machine drying. Lay flat to dry away from direct heat.
What does 'fully adjustable straps' mean?
Fully adjustable straps mean the length of the shoulder straps can be easily changed using the provided sliders. This allows you to customize the fit to your body for optimal comfort and support.
What is a side sling?
A side sling is an extra panel of fabric within the cup, typically running from the underarm towards the center front. It helps to pull the breast tissue towards the center, providing additional support, shaping, and a secure, centered feel.
Can I wear this bra with a t-shirt?
Yes, this bra can be worn with a t-shirt. The seamed cups provide a natural shape, and the underwire offers support. However, depending on the thickness of the t-shirt and your preference, the seams might be subtly visible under very thin or clingy fabrics.
What matching items are available in the Magdalena range?
The product description mentions that matching items are available from the Fantasie Magdalena range to create a coordinated look. Specific items like briefs or other bra styles would typically be listed separately.
Troubleshooting
Bra straps keep slipping.
Ensure straps are adjusted correctly and not over-tightened. If the issue persists, the bra may be too large or the elastic may be worn.
Underwire feels uncomfortable.
Verify the correct cup size and band size. Ensure the underwire channel is sitting correctly against the ribcage and not digging into the breast tissue.
Embroidery appears damaged after washing.
Confirm that the bra was hand-washed in cool water with a mild detergent and not subjected to harsh chemicals, wringing, or machine drying. Lay flat to dry away from heat.
Band rides up.
The band may be too loose. Try adjusting to a tighter hook setting. If it still rides up, you may need a smaller band size.
