The Fantasie Lucia Side Support Bra is designed for adult women seeking excellent support and a flattering silhouette. Its key benefit is the three-piece cup with side support, offering superior uplift and forward projection. A caveat to note is the hand-wash-only care instruction, which requires specific attention to maintain the fabric's integrity.

The 'side support' design refers to the internal structure of the cups, specifically the inclusion of a panel on the side of each cup. This panel helps to draw the breast tissue towards the centre, providing enhanced forward projection and uplift, creating a more streamlined silhouette.
The band should fit snugly and horizontally around your ribcage, allowing you to fit one or two fingers underneath. The cups should fully contain the breast without any spillage or gaping, and the underwire should lie flat against your chest bone.
No, this bra must be hand-washed only. Machine washing, especially with heat or agitation, can damage the delicate materials, underwire, and straps.
The lined top cup provides additional support and shaping for the upper part of the breast, helping to create a smooth contour and prevent the fabric from becoming sheer.
Bras typically last between 6 to 12 months with regular wear and proper care. Signs that it's time for a replacement include stretched-out bands, worn-out elastic, and loss of support.
This means the shoulder straps can be lengthened or shortened to achieve a comfortable and secure fit. The 'peach skin' finish indicates a soft, smooth texture for enhanced comfort against the skin.
Red marks usually indicate that the straps are too tight or that the bra band is too loose and the straps are taking too much weight. Try adjusting the straps to be looser and ensure the band is fitting correctly.
Ensure you have selected the correct band and cup size. Adjust the shoulder straps for a snug fit. Verify that the back fastening is on the tightest hooks if the bra is new.
Loosen the adjustable straps slightly. Ensure the bra band is sitting correctly on your ribcage, as a slipping band can cause straps to bear too much weight.
Check that the underwire is sitting correctly in the underbust channel and not on the breast tissue. Ensure the correct cup size is being worn; an incorrect cup size can cause the underwire to shift.
Adhere strictly to the hand-wash-only instructions. Avoid wringing or stretching the fabric during washing and drying. Do not use a tumble dryer.
Setup: This bra requires no assembly. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal fit and support. The adjustable straps can be modified to achieve the desired fit.
Compatibility: Designed for adult women. The bra's support structure is particularly beneficial for those requiring enhanced uplift and projection.
