Fantasie Women's Fusion Underwire Side Support Bra

I'm so glad I found this bra! WOW it's so comfortable, I can barely tell I'm wearing it. I could fall asleep in this thing. I have very projected cups and I don't get any of the weird gaps that some other bras give me at the sides. This one is true to size, both the band and the cups fit perfectly. You can always test band fit with bras by trying it on upside down and backwards, with the cups behind you like a cape, so your breasts aren't pulling it tight. The texture of this bra is also really nice, very soft and pleasing with a neat pattern. It looks and feels great, makes a flattering shape, very high quality as I expect of Fantasie by now, supports perfectly, and I'll definitely be buying this one again.

Purchased in a 36h based on prior knowledge that fantasie bands run smaller than some others. Beautiful fit, comfort and support. Straps are fully adjustable and wide enough for the larger cup size. Center gore is a bit higher than some bras but still comfortable. Gave nice separation - not having noticeable cleavage in an h cup is awesome! Not suitable for deep-v necklines. As some have said, the seams do show through thinner knit fabrics. However it's difficult to find a relatively T shirt friendly bra with large cups and smaller bands that's not padded. I've never much cared if seams show. It's a bra, not like I'm trying to pretend I'm not wearing one. My only complaint, and not worth a lower rating, is that even at the h cup it still only has 2 hooks in back. However, it doesn't seem to impact the function/performance.

I’ve been a Panache devotee for years, but I have flares of costochondritis/rib cage pain that make it difficult for me to wear such a firm bra band. SADNESS. Lately I’ve branched out to Freya and Fantasie to find something that is still supportive but not as painful. Overall, I like the Fantasie Fusion. The fabric is nice, if stretchy, and the metal accent (gold on the black cherry colorway) is subtle. Straps aren’t too wide, and wires don’t come up too high into my underarms (another increasingly painful occurrence with my beloved Panache bras). The band feels supportive but not too painful, stretchy but not too stretchy. The gore is not wide, but not super thin either. It’s not as open at the top as a balconnette, but the cups aren’t super-tall like a lot of full-cup bras are (I have low-set/short roots, so this can be A Problem). The outer layer of the cup covers where there’s an inner seam that makes it a four-part cup—nifty! There’s a couple things about this bra that make it a subtle shape-mismatch for me.** First, it’s not very projected at the wire (bottom/center). I get that weird wrinkling/dead space gap thing at the bottom as my tissue seeks higher ground, but not enough to be uncomfortable—wires aren’t being pushed to my stomach. The outer sides of the wire fit well, though, where they’re supposed to be. Second, the top part of the gore does this weird thing where one side of it wants to tack, but the other wire ends up flipped up/pressing on tissue. I am center-full and close-set, so this happens sometimes. Probably not enough projection at the center gore wires for what I have going on. Finally, the outer layer of fabric doesn’t attach to the inner center cup seam (what makes it a four-part instead of a three-part cup). Basically, it’s a four-part cup on the inside, but a three-part on the outside. The outer layer wrinkles/gathers funny where the inner center cup seam meets the top-across panel. I can’t tell if this is a size issue, a fit issue, or if it would be helped if the outer layer was attached to the inner layer. It could be that this is where the projection in this bra is, rather than at the wire. It’s not obvious under the shirts I wear, but the knowing it happens makes my eye twitch a little bit. The concept does conceal the inner seam, so if seams annoy you, this might be helpful. I think this bra is definitely worth a shot, especially if it’s a shape match for you. It’s comfortable enough and classy. I’m keeping it, since it usually takes more wear than a mere try-on allows for me to figure out if something is not right. **Edited to clarify: In addition to needing immediate projection at the wire and being center-full, I’m also splayed, meaning close at the top of the gore but set wider toward the bottom of the gore, which contributes to the weird gapping at the bottom and the not-tacking at the top. The bra generally stays in place all day, which is great! (Well, it stays in place, but that place is the wrong place.)

Perfect fit, great quality and support, looks nice and provides full coverage

I really wanted to like this, but it was awful for how much I paid for it. Sizing is not American, so I ended up buying too big. Support is good, and it feels sturdy, but it hurts!

I did not know what size to order so the first try was too small of a cup size for me but the right band size. Happily it fit my sister perfectly and she is impressed as she also wears a hard-to-find size. And so, I ordered again, this time also getting the right cup size. Unfortunately, I ran into my typical problem with the underwire. If the same underwire that was used on the 30E was used for the 30FF, it would have fit wonderfully. But instead, they decide that larger busts must mean one is wider across too. Well, this is nonsense in my opinion--it doesn't matter how large my breasts are, I'm still only a certain number of in/cm across. As a result, the underwires have to be bent around the sides of my ribcage in order to wear the bra semi-comfortably. And I have since found a bra that actually fits and so this bra is totally not worth it for me (I'm returning it). I wouldn't recommend buying this bra in a size 30 for anyone larger than an E cup (my sister normally doesn't like unwire, but because the underwires in this bra are right for her size, 30E, it is comfortable for her). Other info: For anyone trying to find the right size, my underbust is about 26in and the 30 band size seemed right for me. The gore is tall. and on me (I don't need much of a gore to begin with), and it ended up turning to the side since there's no room for it to lay flat. The bra does seem well made--minus the problem of it being made, in some of the larger bust sizes, for someone with a ribcage as deep as a pancake is thick.

Super comfortable bra. Perfect size. I bought several colors of it because it is comfortable and fits well.

Very nice bra, fits well and good quality

Very comfortable full cup bra perfect sizing and colour

Very happy with the fit and really comfortable

Buen producto

Fits perfect and true to size. Cup material is double lined high quality and fits comfortably. For an underwire bra it’s surprising how comfortably it sits. Not as full coverage as the pictures make it show but not a Demi cup either. For me it’s perfect. Shipped to Canada in about 2 weeks.

It doesn’t allow zero stars so I have had to put 1. I have ordered Fantasie bras from Amazon before and have been really pleased with both the shape and how comfortable they are. I ordered this one as preparing for a family event and had to chase when it didn’t arrive on the date it said it would. It still hasn’t arrived and Braforme simply keep replying to my messages saying that they have checked with Royal Mail and it was delivered. Quite simply, it wasn’t. They have now said there is nothing more they can do. Obviously, I am assuming that Amazon will deal with this company but beware. If your item doesn’t show, this company, as far as I can see, will do nothing to help. Absolutely disgraceful.
