The gore is too high, so it digs into my sternum. The wires were also a slight bit too narrow. The cups were too separated for my shape so it was sitting on breast tissue. The top was not open enough on top, so I had some quadding, and some empty space near the apex.
This is the closest I've gotten to ABTF. I really wanted this to fit! It was comfortable, but the gore was too high and digging into my sternum, and the gore was too wide, so the wires were sitting on breast tissue. The width of the strap is too wide for the bra. It was open enough on top, so it accommodated my tall roots. I'm so bummed!
An excellent fit and beautiful bra! Gore is narrow enough, cups fully enclose my breasts. Gives a much more rounded shape compared to other unlined bras, but not as perfect as a moulded cup or padded (obviously).
One of my favourite bras, as it goes under any light coloured shirt or blouse. Close to a perfect fit, just cutting in a little on the top of my larger side, but I have learned to accept this. Usually sizing up gets me too wide wires or other issues, so I'd say this is as good as it gets. It is coarser to the touch than I anticipated, but that might soften after a few washes. True to size both in band and cups IMO. Thank you evangeline ! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> Update: Sadly I've grown this one out too quickly.
My tissue is a bit soft and I think the design of this bra (part fabric and part lace for the cup) would for someone better who had more upper fulllnes and/or firmer tissue
Comfortable. That's more than I can say about most non-lined/un-padded bras I have tried. Wish the wings were a bit higher but still wear this all the time, exp in the summer !
When I first tried this bra i filled it out much better, but the top edge never was 100%. Tall roots with soft tissue and no upper fulllnes means a weird shape sometimes. Decrease in cup size has made that oddity more pronounced and now cup/my shape has taken on a pointy shape. Would still try a 30D
I bought this bra to try along with the 30DD Fantasie Paige and 30DD Smoothing Moulded T-Shirt Bra.
This bra is very similar to the Paige in measurements and fit, but for some reason the Paige works slightly better for me. In this one I get slightly more problems with gaping and cutting in. Not sure why.
I would recommend this bra if you liked the Smoothing Moulded T-Shirt Bra but need a shorter gore, deeper cup, and overall shorter wires.
I would recommend trying this bra if you gave the Smoothing Moulded T-Shirt Bra a go and weren't pleased. I thought they were pretty similar, but there are some differences.
This bra has a gore that is almost half an inch lower, making it much more comfortable for me. The cups fit deeper than on the other model, but keep the same width - 5" in 30DD. I think that in this size the bra has a nice combination of cups that aren't super tall or wide, unlike some moulded t-shirt bras, so I am pleased with that. I like where this bra sits on me, though it is slightly too closed on top still. I also enjoy the gray color - it's different from what I have.
The cups are thicker, similar to a Freya Deco. It gives me a more rounded and lifted shape than the Smoothing Moulded T-Shirt Bra, but that's probably due to the extra depth. Unfortunately the cup edge is quite thick, and I've gotten rid of Decos for that before. It
I tried this Fantasie along with the 30DD Paige and the 30DD Rhiannon.
I think this bra runs a bit shallower and smaller in the cup than the other two. The cups are pretty average in width across the models. The gore is higher than on the other models and the wires a bit longer, so it's a bit more full coverage. On me, this bra gives a more minimized look, but it could be from fit problems due to the shallowness.
I like that this bra has slightly thinner cups than the other two similar models.
I love this bra's straps - they're moved in at the back so they fit narrower. I also like the beige color - it is warmer and more yellow than my current "nudes."
Unfortunately just not the best fit, but hard to nail down why. I get some quadding if i swoop and scoop, but also there is a small gape by the gore and wrinkling sometimes. I think the gore is a bit wide. The wires are hard and painful for me.
Very nice T-shirt bra, good for everyday use. The only problem is have this bra is that it's too separate for me, but i'm used to it by now so i'll wear it a lot. Definitely in my top bras.
Bought this bra a long time ago and just found it in a drawer! It's soo pretty which is why I bought it but the fit isn't quite right. It's made some someone who has a larger overall frame than I do (I think). I also think someone who has more firm tissue would like this better as the side support is no joke!
Got this baby from Ebay NWOT, but turned out to be small in the cups. I really love the black lace over the beige silky fabric. TTS, maybe a bit loose in the band, which is strong black mesh. Soft and more stretchy than most of my Fantasie bras. I just lost hope this one would ever fit. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
Band: I'm starting out on the 2nd set of hooks already. Shoulder straps: not a problem at all. Center gore: A little bit high. Cups: I just fill them, by tightening the shoulder straps. If I were to lose weight, the cups wouldn't be filled. There is a lot of stretch to the cups themselves, so technically, they can accommodate a lot more volume. Wires: Perfect. The wire casing goes pretty high up; however, the wires themselves do not extend all the way. Arm hole of the cups: They're high but soft that they don't cut into my pecs.
The Andrea is TTS - both lace and cups are firm, not much stretch to them. The lower part of the cups are a satiny fabric, the band strong stretch mesh - both having the same pattern. Straps wide with some satiny shine to them. An elegant bra. Too small for me in the cups and its non returnable so will go to listings...
I like the fit better than the Freya Deco. Cups thin but hard, feels like armour at first. Excellent T-shirt bra for soft FOB breasts. Great lift, but at the same time almost a minimising effect - in this size it gives a rounded shape. There is a slight quadding on the larger side, but not so bad to go up a cup size. True to size both in band and cup. My best moulded cup style so far.
Very nice, basic, comfortable bra. Wires could be a bit higher, but give no real issue. Cups fit perfectly. Band is snug but comfortable. Colour is flexible. Nice little bow details. High, rounded shape. I would like to get this in more colours. I bought this for $90 CDN.
