About me: FOB, centre full, close set, short roots, narrow to average width roots, pendulous, narrow shoulders.
While far from perfect, This bra fits surprisingly well for an unseamed moulded cup. it is also quite comfortable. The wires are soft and the cups are breathable soft spacer material.
I bought this bra specifically for some thinner material dresses and shirts I got for the hot weather that I didn’t want seams to show through. It should be noted that this bra does NOT hide nipples so something to consider if that bothers you.
The cups are too tall for me at the straps but it doesn’t show through clothing. The centre portion of the upper cup cuts in slightly, band is TTS, and the gore is too high. However, given the softness of the materials and wires, these issues don’t bother me.
Usually I wear 32FF in Fantasie because their bands are so strechy, but I figured out I'd rather order the 34. My bad, the band is as unstretchy as possible and I would need a 36 or a 38 - nice consistency Fantasie. I literally couldn't close it, even if I stopped breathing. So I can't even tell if the cup fit.
I was very disappointed because the shape is gorgeous - strapless and slightly padded. The colour is listed as "titanum" which turned out to be a blueish grey. The straps are completely useless and kept falling down when I handled it, I don't think they'd even stay put on you.
Really disappointed because I expected much of it - bra sized bra, beautiful, reasonable price.
I would definitely advice you to order your underbust measurement as a band size, as this 34 stretched up to 77cms, adecuate for 30-32 band-size girls.

Fit
About me: petite with wide horizontal oval, slightly conical breasts * average projection * wide-set (3 fingers width of space between breasts) * very wide roots (extend past the mid-axillary line) * even horizontal fullness ...(just barely outer full) * short root height, average vertical placement * mix of firm & soft tissue (front molds to shape of bra, sides push wimpy wires away) * conical shape (but will squish to round) * full on top (2/4 shape, not even or very full) - BUT functionally even to FOB due to short roots and soft tissue * petite (5'3") so have narrow frame * front (anterior) rib flares
Band: * length: way too big * wings: height good * no axillary skin spillage
Gore: Comfortable, tacks, good spacing, height fine.
Cups: * Gives a droopy shape. * Wires too narrow. * Top of cup smooth on larger breast. Gaps on smaller breast. * Bottom of cup wrinkles (breasts looking for more projection). * Outer edge cuts into tail of Spence.
Straps: * too far apart, slip (despite center pull straps) * adjust short enough
Comfort & Fit Summary * Band too big, cups too narrow. * Ordered the 34E at the same time. Reviewed separately, even narrower but top smooth. This shape is likely too projected for me. Time to move on. Read more 170 more words
The band seems to fit all right -- doesn't ride up much or hurt at all. The cups appear to be deep enough because the center gore lies flat against my sternum and I usually fill the cups without overspill in front. Lots of overspill on the side though, because they are not nearly wide enough and the underwires dig in on the sides so painfully that I can't wear this bra for a full day. However, bratabase recommended a UK 34G, which is what I thought I was buying. So hopefully fixing the overspill problem is as simple as going a up one more cup size in this model.
As a 34F, I could never find a strapless bra that actually fit. Enter my trip to Intimacy Chicago and this bra! It actually fits and holds my boobs up! When I tell my larger chested friends that yes, I have a strapless and yes, it fits, they don't believe it. The back of this bra is on the tighter side, which probably aids to the support. Although the center doesn't lie completely flat, I tried on a few sizes of this same style and it fit the best. My only complaint is that the molded cups make my breasts look separated from each other, but it's nothing too bad.
This is one hard-working bra. Unfortunately It's not a shape match for me. There is insufficient immediate projection at the wire, resulting in a myriad of fit issues. But I love the 2 rubberized strips keeping the band up - it stays in place super well through a full day of wear. I've misplaced the straps so didn't include pics of them, but others have included those pics. This is a 34F and I'm now a 32GG so you can see it's just not a good fit for size either.
The Fantasie Susanna in a 34 F has a very stretchy band. The lace is somewhat scratchy. It has nice cup depth but I could still use some more depth at the wire.

At the moment, this is the best bra I own!! My larger side has a bit of quadding and my smaller side is slightly wrinkled but neither is visible under clothes. Very comfortable, great shape and fit!!
I bought this bra at least 6 years ago (possibly more) and it is still my favorite and best fitting bra. It is very comfortable, and the molding in the cup gives me a great shape!
I previously had this bra in a larger cup size and always felt that this bra never gave me the lift that I needed. However, after trying on the right size, I actually like the bra. I can't really comen on if the spacer fabric stretches out much since I lost weight so it's difficult to tell
This bra fits really well for me. My boobs are considerably projected, and the bra manages to handle that nicely. The center gore tacks to my sternum, which is a rare occasion for me, since I usually get floating gores. This was a great buy!
This bra is my absolute favorite for wearing under things other than a t-shirt because of the great shape and subtle cleavage it gives. I absolutely love the pointier Fantasie shape! It's very comfortable. Sadly I went down a cup size.
I loved this bra until I went down a cup size and no longer fit. It is smooth under clothing with no seams in the cups and very comfortable. It doesn't give very much cleavage but still gives a lifted shape. Did not have any problems with straps falling down either. Probably my favorite bra ever.
yes!! I've heard that this bra is comfortable, and hopefully good for hot weather? the colour seems pretty close to a nude?
