I bought this at the same time as the 4510 T-shirt bra, which I bought in a 38E. The seamless smoothing bras in Fantasie are really all over the place in terms of sizing. I followed the sizing advice on both Her Room & Linda the Bra Lady - both advised going down in the band as it runs large, & up in the cup. This was accurate. I normally wear 38F in this brand, & the 36FF fit very well. Love the straps: perfect placement - set further out on the shoulder, but not as far as Freya, which are often too far out for me. And ... very comfy, perfect width.

Surprisingly, I liked it much better than the T-shirt version, which has much shorter wires. Usually, that's a good thing for me, but in this, the higher wires actually rested more comfortably under the arm. Gives a nice, rounded lifted shape. And I like the non-padded style. However, the wires are still a bit too narrow for me. I find Freya has a much broader wire, which fits my wide breasts well, but I don't care for the shape they give. Fantasie's more narrow wires start to irritate me after about 5 hours.

Overall fit is ok. It's a cup size or two large for now, but I'll probably grow more while pregnant and breastfeeding. The band is pretty firm. I'm extra sensitive to that right now since I'm ~20 weeks pregnant. I think it may stretch out with a couple wears. Normally these wires would be too high for me, but I have a lot more tissue these days. Not too wide, plenty of depth at the wire, I feel pretty contained.

I don't like the shape, but that may be because it's too big on me. Not enough lift or shape for my FOB boobs. I can see my nipples through a shirt super easily, which I don't get as much in unlined Cleos (my only other unpadded bras).

This bra is not comfortable on me. The left cup fits OK but the right cup wrinkles a lot at the top (smaller boob side). The right strap keeps sliding off my shoulder during the day. I think the issue is that the fabric of this bra doesn't stretch much at all and the cup is one piece of fabric (seamless), not 3 or 4 pieces with seams like some of my other bras.

I received this bra second-hand from a trade. I was hoping for a comfy "work bra" that I don't care too much about and that can get smelly and sweaty, while still giving me nice support. While I haven't worn this bra at work yet, I will provide my initial thoughts.

Pros - COMFY. Strap is very stretchy. It might also just be really stretched out, as this bra looks pretty used, and I can see some fading of the black around the gore. Normally I wear extenders with all my 36 bras when I first get them, but this one is definitely comfortable enough for me. This bra fits my shape (wider set breasts) well.

Cons - There is wrinkling at the top of the cup and my breasts don't quite fill the cup. Luckily, this is not noticeable under clothing.

I will update my review once I wear this at work, where I am typically running around/sweating like a crazy person.

This is a fantastic bra. There are so many bras out there that don't fit such a large cup size without being "minimizing" or "full coverage". This bra fits my non-wide root breasts (unlike the Freya which is specifically built for a wide root breast) and hides well under any thin shirt. I need more than one!
