Fantasie is a lingerie brand best known for crafting beautifully designed and supportive lingerie, particularly for women with larger cup sizes. First established in 1951 in the United Kingdom, Fantasie has built an extraordinarily strong reputation for combining exceptional support with elegant designs. Their collections offer cup sizes from C to JJ and band sizes from 30" to 44" across lingerie and swimwear, ensuring that women of all shapes and sizes can feel supported.
Fantasie Band and Cup Sizing
Fantasie uses UK band and cup sizing, which may differ from the sizing systems used in other countries.
If you are based in the UK and are unsure of your bra size, click here for a detailed guide on how to measure your bra size at home. For the best support and comfort possible, Fantasie suggests getting a bra fitting every six months.
If you are based outside of the UK, simply find your usual size along your country's row on the size chart, and then refer to the equivalent UK size listed at the top of the column. This UK size is the one you'll use when selecting your Fantasie bra. UK band sizes are measured in inches, as opposed to centimetres.
For example: If you normally wear a France 80, the UK equivalent is a 30. It is the exact same for cup sizes, for example if you are a France E, the UK equivalent is a DD.

Caring for Fantasie Lingerie
To keep your Fantasie lingerie and swimwear looking beautiful and fitting perfectly, it’s important to give them the right care.
Hand Washing Is Best! Fantasie recommends hand washing your bras and swimwear to ensure you get the best wear out of them. It’s the gentlest way to preserve delicate fabrics, elastic, and support structure.
Use a Gentle Wash Like Soak Wash - We recommend using Soak Wash, a rinse-free, eco-friendly soap that’s perfect for delicate lingerie. It cleans beautifully without harsh scrubbing, stretching, or colour fading - just soak and squeeze gently. Plus, it's ideal for busy routines (and smells amazing too). It comes in a variety of fragrances and Scentless too.
General Lingerie Care Tips:
While each Fantasie piece is unique, here are some universal care rules to follow:
Always check the care label - Some styles may have specific washing or drying instructions.
Avoid scrubbing or soaking for too long.
Avoid tumble drying - Let items air dry flat or hang them carefully.
