Fantasie Illusion is by far the best Fantasie bra I tried so far. Usually their shape - wide, and closed on top does not work for me. This bra is made of amazing fabric, very silky soft feeling but still sturdy. It's an everyday staple. It's like Tango is for Panache but better. The upper cup is made of thick stretchy fabric. It's completely different to the sometimes really flimsy delicate stretch laces on bras like Panache Jasmine or Andorra. The band is amazing, it's is made of thick woven material that stretches just in the right way. It's a very smoothing band. It's gold standard and all bands should be made like that.

my shape: narrow - medium wide tall root, full on top, center heavy and projected.

The fit: so it's not really perfect. But it's good enough I like to wear it. It's very comfortable and supportive. the wires are just the right width for me but wouldn't recommend if you need narrow wires. Cups are tall enough for my tall boobs. The stretchy top part does allow to scoop from top and keep the breast tissue inside. It gives a smooth round shape.

The sizing: Band is true to size. The cups however in my opinion run larger. If you follow me here, you see me struggle with 32K 32KK bras these days. This bra in 32J almost fits me! To be completely honest if it didn't have the stretchy fabric on top then there would be quadboob. My ideal size in this bra is currently 32JJ but I can make the 32J work. Sadly this bra stops at J-cup and I can't size up.

UPDATE : 4 months of wearing the bra regularly (twice a week) I have to say the quality isn't that great. At least if you have larger boobs keep in mind that this bra can wear out quickly. The band stretched out 2 cm, there are loose elastic threads coming out of the band and it feels less supportive. I still try to wear it occasionally but it isn't the same also now it's weaker the wires start to hurt me ... will have to retire this soon sadly.

  This looks very supportive, and that colour is beautiful!

  The Illusion looks good on you alisa . This blue reminds me of the "inside" of my cobalt blue Alana's. For some reason, the interior of my cobalt blue seems shinier than the outside

  I have to retire this bra soon, it stretched out a lot and support isn't what it once was. It starts to hurt me at the wire even after 3 hours of wear :( Quality isn't that great I adjusted my review and lowered my quality rating to just okay. Might be better holding up on smaller boobs that put less strain of elastics.

• Shame. Maybe it's because the fabric is so soft it doesn't hold up long. It felt so luxe when I tried it but I maybe the power mesh type of bras hold better than silky soft AF bras like this. :( why can't we have comfort and longevity :(

• Todays band comparison with my barely worn beige one in the same size, almost 3cm shorter... :O that's insane stretch. I have old 34L bras by Bravissimo I worn heavily over a year and that band still feels like a 34!
