FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the Fantasie Magdalena balconette bra?

The primary benefit is its ability to create a natural uplift and shape with its vertically seamed, non-padded cups, combined with supportive underwiring and a side sling for enhanced lift.

How should I clean this bra?

This bra should be hand washed only in cool or lukewarm water with a mild detergent. Avoid bleaching and tumble drying.

Can I wear this bra with tight-fitting clothing?

Yes, the non-padded cups and smooth fabric generally provide a seamless look under most clothing, offering a flattering silhouette.

What does 'balconette' style mean?

A balconette bra typically has cups that are cut horizontally, offering less coverage than a full cup bra, and designed to lift and separate the breasts, creating a 'balcony' effect.

Is this bra suitable for larger cup sizes?

Yes, the Fantasie brand is known for offering supportive designs, and this balconette style with underwiring and a side sling is intended to provide good support for various cup sizes.

What material is the bra made from?

The bra is primarily made from polyester, which contributes to its comfort, durability, and the delicate appearance of the embroidery.

Can I adjust the straps for a better fit?

Yes, the straps are fully adjustable, allowing you to customize the fit for optimal comfort and support.

Troubleshooting

Straps digging in or slipping

Adjust the strap length for a comfortable fit. Ensure the bra band is sitting at the correct level on your back, as a loose band can cause straps to slip or dig in.

Underwire is uncomfortable or poking

Check that the bra size is correct, particularly the cup size. Ensure the underwire is sitting correctly in the channel around the cup. If the bra is old, the underwire casing may be damaged, and it may be time to replace the bra.

Bra does not provide enough support

Verify that the band is snug and parallel to the floor. Ensure the straps are adjusted appropriately. The side sling and underwire are designed for support, so check that these components are functioning as intended and the fit is correct.

Embroidery appears damaged or snagged

Handle the bra with care during washing and wear. If minor snags occur, gently try to smooth them out. For significant damage, professional repair might be an option, or replacement may be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As a bra, the Fantasie Magdalena requires no assembly. Proper setup involves selecting the correct size and adjusting the straps for a comfortable and secure fit. Ensure the band sits level around your torso and the cups fully enclose your breasts without spillage or discomfort.

Compatibility: This bra is designed for adult women. It is intended to be worn as undergarment with various types of clothing. Its elegant design makes it suitable for pairing with matching lingerie pieces from the Fantasie Magdalena range.

Care Instructions:

  • Hand wash only: To maintain the fabric's integrity and the delicate embroidery, wash the bra by hand in cool or lukewarm water.
  • Use mild detergent: Opt for a gentle detergent specifically designed for delicate fabrics.
  • Do not bleach or tumble dry: Avoid harsh chemicals and high heat, which can damage the material and elastic.
  • Rinse thoroughly: Ensure all soap residue is removed.
