Product Information
Full details
The Fantasie Illusion Underwire Side Support Bra is designed for adults seeking a reliable everyday foundation that combines sophisticated floral aesthetics with functional engineering. Its key benefit lies in the three-piece cup construction and side support panels, which offer superior uplift and forward projection, though users should note that the lace detailing requires careful hand-washing to maintain its structural integrity over time.

FAQs
Does the lace top stretch?
Yes, the top cup features a gentle stretch lace designed to accommodate different bust shapes and minor size variations.
Is this bra suitable for all breast shapes?
Yes, the combination of the stretch lace edge and side support panels makes this model highly versatile for most bust types.
How should I store this bra?
Store it flat or nested with other bras to prevent the cups from crushing and the wires from bending.
Does the closure change with size?
Yes, D through FF cups come with a 2-hook fastening, while G through J cups feature a 3-hook fastening for extra support.
Can I put this in the washing machine?
It is strongly recommended to hand-wash this garment to protect the delicate lace and prevent the underwires from distorting.
Troubleshooting
Straps sliding off the shoulder
Adjust the length of the straps for a tighter fit and ensure the back band is sitting horizontally across your back.
Wire digging into the underarm
Check that your band size is not too small; if the band is correct, ensure you are 'scooping and swooping' breast tissue into the cup upon putting the bra on.
Lace rippling or sagging
If the lace top is sagging, the cup size may be too large. If it is rippling, the cup may be too small or the lace has lost elasticity due to heat exposure.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent forward projection and uplift due to side support panels
- Soft, stretch-lace top cup accommodates fluctuating breast fullness
- Centre-pull straps effectively prevent shoulder slippage
- Wide wires minimize digging and increase overall comfort
- High-quality, durable materials with a feminine floral pattern
Cons
- Floral lace may show texture under very thin or form-fitting clothing
- Requires hand washing to preserve the life of the stretch lace
- The hook fastening count varies by cup size, requiring attention during purchase
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Fantasie Illusion bra, proper handling is essential.
Care Instructions:
- Always hand-wash in cool to lukewarm water using a gentle lingerie detergent.
- Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these degrade the elasticity of the lace and straps.
- Lay the bra flat to dry or hang it by the centre gore; avoid using a tumble dryer, as high heat will warp the underwires and damage the lace.
Sizing Note:
Be aware that the hook count changes based on your specific cup size: D-FF cups utilize a 2-hook fastening, while G-J cups feature a 3-hook fastening for increased stability.
