Product Information
Full details
The Fantasie Illusion Full Cup Bra is designed for adults seeking a supportive, everyday foundation that balances elegant aesthetics with structural integrity. Its key strength lies in its three-piece cup construction and side support features, which offer excellent uplift and forward projection for fuller busts. While it provides a sophisticated look with delicate floral lace, users should note that the specific sizing requirements of a high-cup bra like this require accurate measuring to ensure the stretch neck line rests correctly without gapping.

FAQs
Is this bra suitable for daily wear?
Yes, the Fantasie Illusion is designed specifically as a foundation garment for daily use, featuring breathable materials and supportive wide wires.
Does the lace show through clothing?
The lace is designed to be relatively flat to minimize show-through, though it may be visible under very thin or form-fitting silk fabrics.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The center gore (the middle part between the cups) should lie flat against your chest, and the wires should fully encompass your breast tissue without sitting on it.
Can I put this in the washing machine?
It is highly recommended to hand wash this item. Machine washing can distort the underwires and damage the delicate lace finish.
What is the purpose of the tow back?
The tow back construction helps prevent the shoulder straps from sliding off, ensuring the bra remains secure throughout the day.
Troubleshooting
Underwire is digging into the ribcage
This often indicates the band size is too small or the wires are wider than your natural frame; verify your under-bust measurement.
Lace top cup is puckering or gapping
Ensure the bra is positioned correctly; if it persists, you may need a smaller cup size or a different style that accommodates less fullness in the upper bust.
Straps digging into shoulders
Check that the band is doing the majority of the work. If the band is too loose, you may be over-tightening the straps to compensate.

- Full cup coverage might be visible under very low-cut necklines
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, ensure the underwire sits flat against your ribcage without resting on breast tissue. Because this model utilizes wide wires, check that the wire does not extend too far into your underarm area, which could cause chafing.
Care instructions include:
- Washing: Hand wash in cool water using a gentle lingerie detergent to preserve the elasticity of the stretch neck line.
- Drying: Air dry by laying flat or hanging by the centre gore; never place in a tumble dryer as heat damages the wire casing and spandex components.
- Storage: Store flat or hung to prevent the cups from crushing and losing their shape. Avoid folding one cup inside the other as this can distort the underwire over time.
