This currently my favorite bra because it is quite comfortable. I am short-waisted and this bra does not stab me in the underarms. The band is a little stretchier than other brands. I originally bought this 34FF but then bought a 32FF because it is clear that the 34FF will stretch out and be too big. I did not go up in cup size.

Beautiful details! It fits lovely around but the cups are a bit too small for me (I hover between the GG and H).
Black with blush floral colorway

Cups are made from 3 sections, which are suitable for me. Therefode I decided that I try this bra, hopefully it fits me.
Colorway: Purple – I like it. There are small flowers.
Very thin but a little bit rough material, no extra material unther the wires => it can not bent unther the wires.
Wearing the bra is not as bad as it seems from the pictures.
It gives not a rounded shape, but I would like this shape from the side. I get a quadboob.The cups give a little bit east-west effect, my boob were push under my arms. Most probably because of the bigger cups, but it is very unconfortable for me during moving my arms. Give a bigger shape from the front side, which I dont't prefer.
Pros:
-Thin material
-Good straps, straps are good for narrover shoulders
-nice colorway
Cons:
-Boobs are push under the arms

This bra is gorgeous but it doesn't fit. The cups didn't give me quadboob like other bras in this size, and it didn't gape at the top of the cup either, but the rest of the cup was wrinkly at the top. The most prominent wrinkles were diagonal from around the top of my armpit to my nipple. Despite the wrinkles, the bra was comfortable (but I think the band was a little big.) Too bad the bra doesn't doesn't fit because it is adorable. The cups and band are a black mesh and the cups have pink flowery embroidery on them. There is a small bow on the gore and where the straps meet the bra in the front. The straps seem sturdy although the whole bra is a little stiff.

This is a very well made bra that is gorgeous, but $60 retail (when not on closeout for $20) is steep. You get your money's worth and this bra appears to be holding up well to gentle washing in a front-loader machine (in a delicates bag usually) for about three months now.
This bra fits round high breasts pretty well with one exception: the wires come up high despite being a "balconette" bra. I have high set boobs, so I constantly am fighting to find bras that don't assault my armpits--this one is not bad, but still pokes some. Also the straps are not ultra wide set like ... the Freya Deco, but are not quite narrow enough for me. The attachment points do not cut into me, but the straps really try to fall off my shoulders if I don't have them set pretty tight. It seems that the straps are the closest I have come to the straps not wanting to cut the front of my armpit in all my bras. (Fair warning: I use forearm crutches often, so the chafing REALLY gets to me when it is bad)
Like other Fantasie bras, the wires are very solid and rounded so that they don't cut as much as others. The band is rather stretchy and in one day of use stretched from 31" ultra-stretched to 32.5". It is about 33.5 after three months of off-and-on use. The straps are strong, yet comfortably soft and cushy enough for the length setting to stay put. As usual for Fantasie: metal hardware that means it.
The shape is rounded, with a slight oval shape that forces the boobs a little out to the side (may be just the way mine expand to fill the space provided). I have quite a bit of high breast tissue, so the line at the top of bras can often be a problem, but this one is great. The top is reinforced, but has just enough give to gently rest on the tissue instead of cutting in or gaping.
Overall a good bra, though I have grown quite a bit (to the tune of 20 lbs) and now need to get a larger band size as this one fits, but a little too snug for my comfort even stretched out by use.

I tried on a size too large for me (ideally, I'm a 34F/FF) just to see what it's like and I really fell in love with the bra. Unfortunately for me, the straps were way too large and stretchy at the tightest setting (I had to hold them up just to see if the cups would fit at least.. but I'm like 5 feet tall so you probably won't have this problem!) Anyway, the fabric is really gorgeous. Much more see-through than the stock photos lead you to believe (I tried on the WHITE version). It's not stiff or scratchy but soft and stretchy. The cups fit pretty well, a bit too wide, even though this size was larger than I normally fit and I would even think that if I'd tried on a cup size down, the stretchiness in the cups would've worked to my advantage.

I haven't had a new Fantasie bra since I last time bought my trusted smoothing moulded T-shirt bra, so I had high expectations. The Salsa meets them in only one cathegory: it's pretty.
That said, the rest is less pretty. First of all, the cups make my boobs point east&west in a rather extreme fashion - NOT a good look. Secondly, the tops of the cups are awfully tight, I haven't had a quadraboob attack this bad, like, ever. Paired with the east&west-syndrome, the Salsa acts like a minimizer, but somehow makes the whole thing look lumpy and tight, not gathered and controlled. I makes my boobs look ... sort of rounded, but like they were hanging a good 3 inches lower than normally. Definitely not a good look.
Pros:
- very pretty
- soft material
- snug band
Cons:
- absolutely not designed for top-full breasts!
- makes breasts point strongly outward and to the sides
- very tight top of the cup
- quite wide cups, can mean lots of empty room in cups under the arm for those with firm breasts
