Full details
The Fantasie Illusion Underwire Side Support Bra is designed for adults seeking a reliable, everyday foundation that balances aesthetic elegance with structural support. Its key benefit lies in the three-piece cup construction and side support panels that provide superior uplift and forward projection, though users should note that the lace detailing requires careful handling during wash cycles to maintain its delicate appearance.

FAQs
Is this bra suitable for a full bust?
Yes, the side support and three-piece cup construction are specifically engineered to provide structure and comfort for larger cup sizes.
Will the floral lace show through t-shirts?
The lace is designed to be flat, but it is best paired with slightly thicker fabrics or patterned tops to ensure complete invisibility.
Why does the bra have a stretch neckline?
The stretch neckline is included to allow the bra to adapt to slight fluctuations in breast size and shape, ensuring a secure fit that doesn't gap.
Can I put this bra in the dryer?
No. Tumble drying will damage the elasticity of the fabric and the integrity of the underwires. Always air dry.
What does the side support do?
The side support panel prevents the tissue from moving toward the armpits, creating a more centered and lifted appearance.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
The underwire should sit flat against your breastbone without digging in, and the back band should remain parallel to the floor.
Troubleshooting
Straps slipping off shoulders
Adjust the strap length using the rear sliders and ensure the leotard back is sitting flat against your shoulder blades.
Underwire digging into sides
This often indicates a band that is too large or a cup that is too small; try a sister size to ensure the underwire sits flat against the ribcage.
Lace looks worn after washing
Always use a mesh laundry bag if machine washing on a delicate cycle, or switch to hand washing to avoid abrasive contact with other garments.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent forward projection and uplift.
- Soft, comfortable straps that do not slip.
- Suitable for a wide variety of bust shapes due to the flexible stretch neckline.
- Elegant floral aesthetic that remains discreet under clothes.
- Durable construction with high-quality underwire.
Cons
- Lace fabric may require hand washing to prevent snagging.
- Floral pattern may be visible under very thin or white materials.
- Underwire bras require precise sizing for maximum comfort.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Fantasie Illusion bra provides maximum longevity, follow these care guidelines:
- Fitting: Always hook the bra on the loosest setting when new to allow for elastic stretch over time.
- Washing: Hand wash in cool water using a gentle lingerie detergent. Avoid machine washing if possible to preserve the lace and underwire shape.
- Drying: Never place the bra in a tumble dryer. Lay it flat on a towel away from direct sunlight to air dry, ensuring the cups maintain their molded shape.
- Storage: Store the bra flat or hanging by the center gore. Avoid folding the cups inside out, as this can distort the underwire and damage the cup structure.
