FAQs
What makes this bra a 'balconette' style?
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 provides uplift and is designed to enhance cleavage, with straps that are often set wider apart, giving a 'balcony' effect.
Is this bra suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, the Fantasie Magdalena Balcony Bra is designed with comfort and support in mind, making it suitable for everyday wear. Its features like adjustable straps and underwiring aim to provide a comfortable fit throughout the day.
How do I know if I'm wearing the correct size?
A well-fitting bra should have the band sitting snugly and parallel to the floor, the cups should fully contain the breast tissue without gaping or spilling over, and the straps should not dig into your shoulders. You should be able to comfortably fit two fingers under the band.
Can I machine wash this bra?
No, this bra should only be hand washed. Machine washing, especially with harsh detergents or high spin cycles, can damage the delicate fabric, embroidery, and the underwire structure.
What does 'non-padded' mean for the cups?
'Non-padded' means the cups do not have any extra foam or padding added. They are typically made of fabric layers that offer support and shape naturally, without adding volume.
What is the purpose of the side sling?
The built-in side sling is an additional piece of fabric within the cup that helps to draw the breast tissue towards the center, providing extra support, lift, and shaping for a rounded appearance.
What other items are available in the Magdalena range?
The Magdalena range often includes matching items such as briefs or thongs to create a coordinated lingerie set. Refer to product listings or retailers for specific availability.
Troubleshooting
Straps digging in
Adjust the straps to a looser setting. Ensure the bra band is sitting correctly on your ribcage, as a band that is too tight can cause straps to dig in.
Underwire poking or discomfort
Verify you have the correct band and cup size. The underwire should encase the breast tissue smoothly. If the issue persists, the bra may be ill-fitting or worn out.
Bra cup gapping
The cup size may be too large. Try a smaller cup size. Ensure the bra is pulled up correctly so the cups are centered.
Band riding up
The band size may be too large. Try a smaller band size. The bra band should sit parallel to the floor around your ribcage.
