I already tried this bra in a 32HH - Fantasie » Fantasie Illusion Side Support Bra (FL2982) and it was slightly too big in the cups. I'm usually a 32HH/J in UK brands. Since I really liked the materials and the quality of this bra I decided to give it another chance and sized down to 32H. I have to say that the wires are good width for me and they are not too tall under my arms. Also I like that the straps are not too seperated in this bra. I have problems with straps that cut in my arms on so many bras. ...This bra was good for my frame and my rather narrow shoulders (for my size). The band runs true to size and it is a thick satin-y material that does not stretchy too much. Overall the bra materials feel very high quality, very nice silk-y and soft to the touch but still sturdy.
On the 32HH bra the cups were slightly too tall for me and I had some empty space on top. On this 32H the cups are the right height. But the top section of the cups is not stretchy and there is this elastic band at the cup edge that is the enemy of every full-on-top boob, it just cuts in. Oh how I hate that elastic band. Since I already know that the 32HH would be too big, I give up on this bra. I'm happy though that I found out that there are wires on UK brands that are not too wide for me. Too bad the bra does not work on tall roots and a full on top breast shape. Read more 176 more words
Good overall, but not as much side support as I was looking for. My second attempt in this brand. The other one is 34GG, and pushes the girls to the sides even more.
Likes: - This bra is SO pretty - The cup width!! finally a bra that doesn't sit on breast tissue - It is comfortable. I can get through the day without discomfort - This is my favourite bra that I own
Dislikes: - The gore is too high and because of that it doesn't pin perfectly to my sternum - The lace and stitching make it very noticeable under shirts
The bra is very wide set. This is a problem with pattern upsizing, so the straps dig in around the shoulders. The gore was a little too wide, so it doesn't tack, and wires are too wide for my roots.
The bra gives you a more soft oblong shape than perfectly round.
Throughout the day the gore will ride up and poke uncomfortably.
The good is that the band is perfect in size. I have absolutely no problems with it riding up throughout the day. I filled out the top but just barely, if I wasn't FOT this would be a problem.
This bra should be in the top ten list of the Hall Of Fame Of Bras. I love it. It's incredibly comfortable, the shape it gives is OMG fabulous and it's really supportive. Also, the colour is a pretty universal nude, unless you're vampire pale. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> Sure, it's plain, but I think the sexy factor in this bra comes from the shape it gives and the comfidence you get wearing a first class bra. As it's a balconette, the straps are wide apart - not a problem for me, but could be that to someone with narrow shoulders. The center is quite high in H cup, so no deep v-necks with this bra. Those are the only cons I can think about. Sheesh, I wish Fantasie would start making this in HH and J cups. Hey, it can't be that hard...?
I used to fit well into a 32G, but now that I've gained a little weight (or just migrated my underarm-boob into its proper place) I need a larger cup. I get quadraboob with the 32GG and the H is a little too big. The band rides, so I think I'll try this in a 30H and let everyone know how it goes! It is a fantastic t-shirt bra, and I still wear my stretched out old ones since I love them so much. I really miss the Allure as it fit me a little better than this one (deeper plunge, but not as deep as Freya Deco - I have too much uptop for that one!) It isn't the sexiest bra, but it sure looks sexy under snug tees and sweaters!
I purchased this bra new at Journelle.com. It fit really well and was very comfortable and supportive. The lace is thicker, so it is visible through thin or tight shirts. The navy blue is rich and vibrant, and the band is nice and firm. I can no longer fit into it after my breast reduction, unfortunately.
Close set, narrow, FoB girls this is not a good bra for you. Other than that i like this bra. The fabric is pretty and comfy, the bra feels sturdy and is very supportive. The straps are nice and wide and don't slip down
The cut of this bra works really well for me. It gives me a good rounded shape and I can forget I am wearing it. My boobs start at my collarbone, I think they are average on the top, firm and bottom heavy with lots of projection.
Sadly I have had to retire this bra now due to wear & tear.
The fit is the same as the Navy & Cobalt colourways that I own: Still one of my go to bras for fit and comfort. I have this bra in 3 colours all in 32H (my typical Fantasie size). Highly recommended. My boobs start at my collarbone, I think they are average on the top, firm and bottom heavy with lots of projection.

This bra does not fit & is a disaster for my breast shape - my boobs start at my collarbone, I think they are average on the top, firm and bottom heavy with lots of projection. The cups seem wide and shallow and I found the cup fabric unsupportive. I don't recommend this bra for others with a similar shape to me.
I bought this bra in a 32H (my typical size in Fantasie bras). This bra fits well and is very comfortable to wear. It used to be a favourite especially during early pregnancy but I don't wear it very often now as I think my boobs look bigger in this bra and the shape is not as flattering compared to other bras e.g. in Fantasie styles I prefer the Elodie.
About my boobs: they start at my collarbone, I think they are average on the top, firm and bottom heavy with lots of projection.
This bra is so pretty. I can wear it but it isn't the perfect fit for me. The gore tacks when I put it on but moves during the day; I think this is due to the softness of the cup fabric/ underwires. The cups seem to fit me just fine (no quadding) but the lace at the top is almost too stretchy for my breasts.

I'm a big fan of this bra. The pinstripe print looks smart and I find it very comfortable to wear. The band is on the generous side, like many Fantasie styles; if you're between band sizes, I'd recommend going with your smaller size. The shape it creates is nicely uplifted but slightly pointy. The fabric has a nice smooth texture that means the seams don't show up too much under clothing. I find it supportive enough for low-impact exercise, but I wouldn't wear it for running or dancing. Overall a great bra for everyday wear.
I had two of these and they fit exactly the same, so kudos for consistency! Unfortunately for me, they wrinkle at the apex and simultaneously cut in on top - and I'm far from shallow. The band is also pretty generous for a 32. Excellent - and also consistent - quality AND comfort. Great under clothing if it fits.
The first bra in that size that really fits, a really soft one and the wings are not too high, also I like the shape. Sometimes I think after wearing it two or three days the band stretches out, but after washing it's all okay.
This is one of my go to bras for fit and comfort. I have this bra in 2 colours and also bought 2 previously before my size changed. Highly recommended.
Ouch. That looks painful. Sorry it doesn’t work. It looks lovely otherwise.
