FAQs
What does spacer mould technology mean?
Spacer fabric is a unique 3D construction that allows air to pass through the cups, providing the smooth appearance of a padded bra without the heat and bulk of traditional foam.
Can I machine wash this bra?
While hand washing is recommended, if you must machine wash, always place the bra in a protective mesh lingerie bag and use a delicate cycle on cold to avoid damaging the underwire and cups.
Is the Fantasie Reflect bra suitable for heavy busts?
Yes, the wide underwire and structured design are specifically engineered to provide robust support for larger cup sizes like DD and above.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
The band should be firm and level around your body, the center gore should sit flat, and your breast tissue should be fully encased within the cups without any 'spillage' or gaps.
Does this bra come with matching bottoms?
Yes, the Fantasie Reflect collection is designed to be paired with matching lingerie pieces to create a cohesive set.
Troubleshooting
The underwire is poking or digging into the sides
This often indicates the band size is too large or the cup size is too small. Try a size with a smaller band and larger cup, or ensure the straps are adjusted to provide proper lift.
The cups look wrinkled or have permanent creases
This is usually caused by improper storage. Avoid nesting the cups inside each other. You can sometimes smooth minor wrinkles by gently steaming the fabric from a distance.
The straps are slipping off the shoulders
Ensure the straps are tightened properly; they should be snug but not tight enough to leave indentations. If they continue to slip, consider if the band size is too loose, causing the bra to ride up.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Fantasie Reflect Bra retains its shape and supportive structure, follow these guidelines:
Fitting: Always perform a 'scoop and swoop' maneuver when putting the bra on to ensure all breast tissue is contained within the cup. Check that the center gore (the middle part between the cups) lies flat against your sternum.
Compatibility: This bra is designed as a neutral, seamless base layer. While it pairs beautifully with most everyday clothing, it is best kept separate from heavy, high-impact athletic gear as it is not designed for vigorous exercise.
Care Instructions:
- Hand Wash Recommended: To preserve the integrity of the spacer mould, hand wash in cool water using a gentle lingerie detergent.
- Avoid Heat: Never use a tumble dryer. Excess heat will damage the elastic and deform the moulded cups.
- Drying: Lay the bra flat to dry on a towel, reshaping the cups gently with your hands while damp.
- Storage: Store flat or hung by the center gore. Avoid folding one cup inside the other, as this can create permanent creases in the spacer material.
