FAQs
What is the best way to wash this bra?
It is recommended for hand wash only. Use a mild detergent in cool water and rinse thoroughly. Lay flat to dry, away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not bleach or tumble dry.
Does this bra provide full coverage?
The Fantasie Magdalena Bra features non-padded cups designed for natural uplift. While it offers support, the coverage is moderate and may not be considered full coverage by all standards.
What does 'balconette' mean in terms of bra style?
A balconette bra, also known as a balcony or balcony style bra, typically has wider-set straps and cups that are cut horizontally, offering a 'lift and separate' effect that enhances the natural shape of the bust, suitable for lower-cut tops.
Can I wear this bra with a very low-cut dress?
The balconette style is generally suitable for lower-cut tops due to its design, but the width of the cups and the embroidery might be visible depending on the specific neckline of the dress.
What is the purpose of the side sling?
The built-in side sling in this bra is designed to provide additional support and help with forward projection, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit for the bust.
What materials is this bra made from?
This bra is made from Polyester.
Can I machine wash this bra?
No, the product information specifically recommends hand wash only to preserve the delicate fabric and construction of the bra.
Troubleshooting
Straps digging in
Ensure the straps are adjusted correctly and not overtightened. If the issue persists, verify you have the correct band size, as a band that is too loose will cause straps to bear too much weight.
Bra band riding up
The band may be too loose. Check if a smaller band size is available and suitable. Ensure the bra is fastened correctly on the outermost hooks initially, moving inwards as it stretches.
Underwire discomfort
Confirm the correct cup size. If the underwire is digging or poking, it might indicate the cup size is too small or the bra is ill-fitting. Ensure the underwire channels are sitting flat against the body.
Embroidery snagged or damaged
Handle the bra with care during washing and wear. If a thread is pulled, try gently tucking it back in with a needle. Avoid abrasive surfaces.
