FAQs

What is a balconette bra?

A balconette bra, also known as a balcony or balcony bra, typically has cups that are cut horizontally, providing less coverage than a full cup bra. It aims to lift the breasts upwards and outwards, creating a rounded shape and a flattering décolletage, often referred to as a 'boob lift'.

What does 'vertically seamed' mean for the cups?

Vertically seamed cups have stitching lines that run from the bottom of the cup upwards towards the strap. This type of seam is designed to provide lift and shape, creating a more rounded and projected bust appearance.

How do I find my correct Fantasie bra size?

Refer to the brand's specific size guide, which usually involves measuring your band size (underbust) and cup size (overbust). It's recommended to measure yourself periodically as body size can fluctuate.

Can I machine wash this bra?

No, it is recommended to hand wash the Fantasie Magdalena Bra to protect the delicate fabric and embroidery. Machine washing can cause damage and reduce the lifespan of the bra.

What is the side sling for?

The built-in side sling is an additional panel of fabric within the cup that helps to push the bust towards the center, providing extra support, shaping, and minimizing side bulges for a smoother profile.

Is this bra suitable for everyday wear?

Yes, the Fantasie Magdalena Bra is designed for everyday wear, offering comfort and support with its well-constructed features and quality materials, combined with an elegant aesthetic.

What material is this bra made from?

The Fantasie Magdalena Bra is primarily made from polyester, which contributes to its comfort, durability, and the ability to hold its shape and intricate embroidery.

Troubleshooting

Straps slipping

Ensure straps are adjusted to the correct length. Check that the sliders are firmly in place. If the elastic is worn, it may be time to replace the bra.

Underwire poking through

This can happen with wear and tear. Inspect the fabric around the underwire. If a small tear is present, a professional alteration service might be able to repair it. If the underwire is significantly damaged, the bra may need replacement.

Bra feels uncomfortable or lacks support

Verify that the band size and cup size are correct. The band should sit snugly on your ribcage, and the cups should fully contain the breast tissue without gaping or spilling over. Consult a sizing guide if unsure.

Embroidery snagging or fraying

Be careful when washing and wearing to avoid snagging the delicate embroidery. Hand wash gently and dry flat. If minor fraying occurs, carefully trim with small scissors. For significant damage, professional repair may be needed.
