FAQs

What does 'balconette' mean for a bra style?

A balconette bra typically has a lower neckline and wider-set straps, designed to lift and support the breasts to create a rounded, uplifted appearance, often referred to as a 'balcony' effect.

Is this bra suitable for larger busts?

Yes, the Fantasie Magdalena bra is designed with features like underwiring and a side sling to provide ample support for larger busts, as indicated by its availability in various cup sizes.

Can I machine wash this bra?

Hand washing is recommended to preserve the delicate fabric, embroidery, and overall structure of the bra. Machine washing, even on a delicate cycle, can cause damage.

What is the purpose of the side sling?

The built-in side sling helps to gather the breast tissue from the sides and push it towards the center, providing additional support, shaping, and security, preventing side spillage.

How do I know if I've chosen the right size?

A well-fitting bra should have the band sitting snug and level around your body, the cups should fully contain the breast tissue without gaping or spilling, and the straps should be comfortable without digging in.

Does the embroidery add any discomfort?

The embroidery is designed to be decorative yet comfortable. However, if you have very sensitive skin, it's always a good idea to check for any irritation, though typically it's well-integrated.

Can I wear this bra with a very low-cut top?

The balconette style has a lower cut than some other bra types, but its coverage might still be visible under very deep V-necks or plunging necklines due to the cup shape and embroidery.

Troubleshooting

Bra feels too tight or loose

Adjust the hook-and-eye closure at the back. If still uncomfortable, consider if the band or cup size needs adjustment.

Straps dig into shoulders

Loosen the adjustable straps slightly. Ensure the bra band is fitting correctly, as this should bear most of the support.

Cups are not fitting smoothly

Ensure the cups are fully encompassing the breast tissue. Adjust the position of the bra and check that the gore (center part) is lying flat against the sternum.

Embroidery appears damaged

Handle the bra gently during washing and wear. Avoid snagging on rough surfaces. If damage has occurred, professional repair might be an option, or consider it part of the garment's character.
