How to care for your lingerie & swimwear
We understand the importance of feeling comfortable and supported, which is why our lingerie and swimwear is meticulously crafted with high quality materials for the perfect fit. Discover our guide to ensure you get the most out of your treasured Fantasie collections.
1. Washing Your Lingerie
Hand Wash Only
To extend the life of your lingerie, we recommend hand washing only. Washing machines can be harsh on delicate garments, with vigorous spinning and heat exposure putting strain on fabrics and structure. Even when using a laundry bag on a delicate cycle, machine washing can lead to fabric deterioration, bent underwires, or wires breaking through their casing.
Do Not Dry Clean
Dry cleaning is also not advised, as this may weaken elastane and reduce its elasticity over time.
Do Not Bleach
Avoid using bleach as this can damage delicate fabrics and change the colour of your lingerie.
Do Not Tumble Dry
For best results, gently hand wash your bras in warm water using a mild detergent. After washing, reshape the garment and lay it flat to dry naturally. Avoid hanging by the straps or band, as this can cause stretching. Tumble drying should be avoided, as the heat can damage elastane, embroidery, and underwires. High temperatures may also cause underwires to break through the casing, potentially damaging both the garment and the machine.
2. Bra Rotation
We recommend that you have at least three every day bras to wear on rotation, this allows you the time to wash and dry your bras correctly, and for the delicate fabrics to recover and re-shape after use. We do not recommend wearing your bra for more than one or two days at a time, this ensures that the fabrics do not stretch too much and allows them to spring back into place. Some of our most-loved every-day styles are Fusion, Reflect and Belle, which have been carefully crafted to ensure uncompromising support and comfort.
Alongside your everyday bras, to achieve the perfect bra wardrobe, we suggest also adding a supportive strapless bra for occasion wear, and a bralette to offer complete comfort.

3. Storing Your Lingerie
Your lingerie drawer should remain organised, with all bra clasps fastened to reduce the risk of the hook and eye fastenings getting caught on delicate fabrics and causing damage. We recommend that your moulded bras are stacked so that they do not get bent out of shape. It may be tempting to invert the cups into one another to save space, however this can alter the shape completely. Lay your moulded bras flat to retain their shape.
