FAQs
Can I put this bra in the washing machine?
No, this bra is designed for hand washing only. Machine washing can damage the spacer mould technology and the delicate lace trim.
Is this a padded bra?
It is not a traditional 'padded' bra. It uses spacer mould technology, which is a lightweight, breathable material that provides shape without adding significant extra volume.
How should I store my Fantasie Reflect bra?
Store it flat or nested with other moulded bras to maintain the shape of the cups. Avoid folding one cup into the other as this can cause creasing.
Does the wide underwire make it uncomfortable?
Generally, the wide underwire is designed to be more comfortable than standard wires by distributing pressure over a larger surface area, though individual comfort depends on proper sizing.
Is the fabric suitable for sensitive skin?
The linen and synthetic blend used is typically gentle on the skin, but always ensure the fit is correct to avoid friction-based irritation.
Troubleshooting
Underwire is digging into the ribcage
This often indicates the band size is too small or the bra has been worn for too long without washing. Check that the band sits level around your back and try a sister size.
Cup edge is wrinkling or gaping
The cup size may be too large, or the straps are adjusted too loosely. Tighten the straps to see if the fabric flattens against the skin.
Straps are slipping off shoulders
Adjust the sliders on the straps to shorten them. If this happens constantly, ensure the band is not too large, as a loose band causes the straps to migrate outward.

- May require more frequent adjustment if not properly fitted initially
Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best performance, ensure that you are fitted professionally to verify your band and cup size, as the 40F configuration relies on accurate placement of the wide underwire against the ribcage. When putting on the bra, hook the closure at the back, lean forward to scoop the breast tissue into the cups, and adjust the straps so they sit comfortably on your shoulders without creating indentations. Care is strictly limited to hand washing in cool water with a mild lingerie detergent to preserve the spacer fabric's elasticity and the delicate lace detailing. Avoid twisting the cups to wring out water; instead, gently press the moisture out with a towel and lay the bra flat to air dry away from direct heat sources.
