3 months ago I tried 32J - Fantasie » Fantasie Illusion Side Support Bra (FL2982) and it was not a bad fit just slightly too wide / tall. Apperently I lost quite a bit of breast volume so I decided to try a smaller size. The fabric and quality of this bra is excellent. Honestly that band is everything. No cheap mesh or elastic that cuts in. It's made of a really thick still stretchy fabric. I wish it worked for me.
At first I was confused what is going on with this bra. But it is obvious it is just too big in the cups. ...There is wrinkling on top and I have some empty space. I wear a size 32 band in almost all my bras. In this bra it felt loose. But judging by measurements the band on this bra is not longer than some of my other 32 bands. So it's the cups that make the band feel loose. I did not tighten the straps very much, I can fit 2 fingers under them and they don't fall off. I cannot fill the top of the bra so it also could be that this style of bra is just too tall for me. Compared to some of my other bras, it looks like this bra runs big, cup height and depth is similar to my 32JJ Bravissimo bras. I'm not sure if should size down to 32H of if this full cup style does not work for my boobs at all. Read more 149 more words
Would it be easy to exchange for a 32H? You won't know until you try. Since I have no familiarity with this brand or your size range I'm really curious how the next size down would fit you.
Sovavosi Yes since it's from a local online store. I feel bad having to return so much. Also the bra is now double the price again, I wish Ihad ordered 2 sizes on black friday deal but I never thought I need as "small" as 32H :S
I hope they will exchange it for you for the same price. Fingers crossed!
I received the bra in 32H, but is is too small ugh. How...? Do I need a inbetween-size in Fantasie? I just think the style is very full-on top unfriendly and that I have to size up to avoid cutting in, but size down to get rid up wrinkles and too wide wires. No size that works for me in this bra.
This bra is very strange for me. I think its partly because its made for longer, less round boobs? The shape is pointier than I like, but even stranger, there's a weird shape on the side. I guess its the 'side support panel' - but its like it flattens out my boob on the side? Like there's a cone shape and then a sudden change of angle in the part that holds the side boob. There's even a slight indent at the seam. Hubby hated the color, too
Some people say the fabric feels cheap and plastic like but I think it is okay. I really liked the vintage inspired print and detailing but I know some people also think this look grandma-ey. I find it to be a very comfortable bra. The straps are nice and wide, the gore isn't too high, and the sides don't dig into my arms. The cup runs a little large so I could probably go down a size. The band was true to size.
Band is true to size, gore isn't too high and it sits nice and flat. I am sensitive to some fabrics and I didn't find this to be itchy or uncomfortable. The cups fit perfectly and the straps were a nice wide elastic. I didn't have a problem with the side of the bra riding up into my underarms and chafing.
Yikes. I have very soft, pendulous, low-set breasts, and this bra is a nightmare. It totally encapsulates the breast, and I just can't fill it out. It's too big on top, too wide at the sides, and somehow, wrinkles at the bottom too--but if I went down a cup size, the lace would cut into the top of my breast, while still leaving too much room in the cotton part of the cup.
Even if it did fit properly, the cup comes up too high for me to wear under anything but a crewneck, since it covers ALL of my breast tissue.
This bra is very full coverage and I find the wires a bit high under the arm. I think it might fit me better in a 30J if that size exists. The embroidery is pretty though
