This Fantasy Illusion bra in 30G is a better fit than my previous poorly fitting bras, but still is not the right fit. I like this bra, I chose it because the straps are fairly close together and I wanted to try a bra with side support. The biggest issue for me is the high center gore that dug into my sternum slightly. It also pinched my breast tissue when I tried to scoop and swoop and just did not work with my center fullness. (I had a feeling the gore would be problematic though) A 28 band fits a bit better on me but I am unsure if this brand makes that band size. I think I should have gotten a 30FF instead of a 30G when going up in the band. With my asymmetry, I had more wrinkling and some space not filled out at the bottom on my right breast. I did like the bras construction and vertical seams. The design helped bring my boobs to the front rather than what usually happens, either my breasts running away to the sides, or my breast tissue exploding out of the top/quad boobing. I liked the strap placement being close enough together. The comfortable band material and thickness with 3 hooks was nice. I prefer a bra in other colors, like black. In person the white looks a little plain, but up close it's cute. I like the stretchy lace material on top, in the correct size it would help contain my tissue that swells up at certain times of the month when my breasts become a bit more FOT. I am petite, and short in the torso 4ft 9 115lbs so I am greatful this bra did not poke me in the armpits. I usually wear plunge bras, and I am use to more cleavage, but having the pressure off of my neck and shoulders was great, and my posture is so much better than when I was wearing a 36 band. I think I am going to skip trying Fantasie bras with gores equal too or taller/wider. I am so done wearing ill fitting padded bras though! This bra was a decent attempt to build from, but I am still searching Megan. *Edit* Origenally reported this bra as the Fantasie Fusion Bra (that I also considered buying) but this is the Fantasie Illusion with Side Support.

• some space at the bottom = not projected enough (most likely) see this graphic https://imgur.com/wuKovXy too little depth at the bottom on the cup, I think.

  also, the gore looks painful. it just looks to wide.

  I've never tried Fantasie, some I'm not sure how their bras run. I prefer brands like Comexim (good for close-set breasts) and Ewa Michalak (good for projected breasts).

  If you already bought this bra/don't want to return it, and you're okay with the space at the bottom of the cup (I am not sure how to do an alteration for that) you can alter the centre gore using this alteration https://www.reddit.com/r/ABraThatFits/comments/if2qyr/project_guide_overlapping_bra_gore/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

  I took a peek at your measurements. You’re not too far off from mine. I took a 30FF in Fantasie when I tried the brand, tho I didn’t care for the wide gore and over all fit. I say this definitely looks a cup size too big. I suggest Comexim. Very center full friendly and my 4’10” daughter had no issues adjusting the straps short enough and when I was a little thinner and wearing a 30GG/65J on Comexim I can tell you the side wings do not come up very high and would be more petite friendly. Good luck, may the bra force be worn you. : )

  It looks like this bra is actually the Fantasie Illusion Side Support Bra (FL2982) from the tags pictures, not the Fusion.

  Jj I Believe you may be right! I either may have purchased it with an incorrect listing (on another site) or it was my own error, I was looking to purchase both. I'll take a look and edit, thank you!

  @BraOdyssey Also I do own this bra but I unfortunatly can not wear this due to the gore issues, I will either pass it on to one of my sisters or will consider listing here for cheap/to give away. I will check out that tip about augmenting the gore for future use though, I have a feeling it will come in handy in the future.

  I figured I need some projection rather than shallow bras, but I am still figuring out all the little tidbits to bra fitting. The diagrams shared are helpful theres just so much to take in. For example I assumed my breasts were borderline spaced far apart, but when supported they actually go quite close together. I wasnt sure if the width of the gore would matter had the gore been much lower, but still think I need to make sure the gore is narrow as well. I also agree I should have tried the 30ff but because I've gotten a range of sizes with ABTF calculator I decided to try this one.

  @Happy2brashop I have been looking at bra brands from Poland and they seem like an ideal option for me. I hope to order from them I just wanted to get a feel for what works before ordering, currently I have 0 bras that fit. I have been trying to wear either a 34DDD or 36DD from VS for way too long, being short and petite added a whole other piece to this, so I appriciate the input. I had no idea what a correctly fitting bra felt like! I will check out Ewa bras as well :) Thank you!
