Product Information
Full details
The Fantasie Magdalena balconette bra is designed for adult women seeking natural uplift and comfortable support with a touch of glamour. Its key benefit is the flattering shape provided by seamed, underwired cups and a side sling, creating a natural silhouette. A potential caveat is that it requires hand washing to maintain its delicate embroidery and fabric integrity. Key features include vertically seamed, non-padded cups for uplift, built-in underwiring for support, fully adjustable straps for a custom fit, a side sling for added security, and ornate floral embroidery with a decorative bow and charm.

FAQs
Is this bra suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, the Fantasie Magdalena bra is designed for comfort and support, making it suitable for everyday wear, especially for those who appreciate its shaping qualities and elegant design.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
A properly fitting bra should have the band sitting level and snug on your ribcage, the cups fully encasing your breasts without gaping or spilling, and the straps adjusted to provide support without digging in.
Can I machine wash this bra?
No, this bra is strictly hand wash only. Machine washing can damage the delicate fabric, embroidery, and underwire.
What does 'balconette' style mean?
A balconette bra typically has cups that are cut horizontally, offering less coverage than a full cup bra but providing excellent lift and a flattering, slightly uplifted shape. It's designed to be supportive and is often suitable for lower necklines.
What is the purpose of the side sling?
The side sling is an additional panel within the cup designed to provide extra support and forward projection, helping to shape the bust and create a smooth, rounded silhouette.
What material is the bra made of?
The Fantasie Magdalena bra is made primarily of Polyester.
Does this bra offer padding?
No, the Fantasie Magdalena bra features non-padded cups that rely on their seaming and construction to provide shape and uplift.
Troubleshooting
Straps digging in
Adjust the straps to a comfortable, secure fit. Ensure the bra band is sitting correctly on your ribcage, not too low or too high.
Underwire discomfort
Ensure you have the correct band and cup size. If discomfort persists, the underwire may be damaged or the bra may not be the right fit for your body shape.
Band riding up
The band might be too loose. Check if you can tighten it further or if you need a smaller band size. The bra should sit snugly and horizontally around your body.
Embroidery threads snagging
Be careful when putting on and taking off the bra, and avoid contact with rough surfaces or jewelry that could catch the threads. If a small snag occurs, do not pull it; try to gently tuck it back.
