It offers significant lift and security through its specialized underwired, three-piece cup construction, making it an ideal choice for those who need consistent support without sacrificing elegance.

FAQs
Is this bra suitable for daily wear?
Yes, the combination of side support and power net wings makes it sturdy enough for consistent, all-day use.
How do I choose the right size?
The Portia uses standard UK sizing. We recommend using a professional measuring tape to confirm your current band and cup measurements.
Can I put this bra in the dryer?
No, the heat from a tumble dryer will damage the elastic properties of the power net and may warp the underwires.
What is the primary material used?
This bra is primarily constructed from high-quality polyester for durability and shape retention.
Does the metallic charm irritate the skin?
The charm is a decorative element on the exterior and is positioned to avoid direct contact with the skin during normal wear.
Troubleshooting
Strap slipping during wear
Check the slider adjustment to ensure straps are snug; if they continue to slip, ensure the band size is not too loose as this shifts the tension.
Underwire digging into skin
Verify that the band size is correct; if the band is too tight, it can cause the wire to distort, or if the cup size is too small, the wires may be pressed against tissue.
Visible lines under clothing
The embroidery is textured; consider wearing a seamless camisole or smoothing layer if wearing very thin or clingy fabrics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the Fantasie Portia, proper care is essential. Given the inclusion of delicate embroidery and metallic components, hand-washing in cool water with a mild, lingerie-specific detergent is highly recommended. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the integrity of the power net and the polyester fibers. After washing, gently squeeze out excess water and lay the bra flat to dry away from direct heat sources or sunlight to prevent material distortion. Always fasten the hooks before washing to prevent the closure from catching on the lace or embroidery of other garments.
