Seamless Underwire Balconette Bra

The band fits like other Fantasie bra's, which is a tiny bit big compared to a true 32. I am a 32G in the Rebecca style and bought that size in this bra. I expected it to have some sort of molded foam padding to it but it didn't. I guess I didn't read good enough. Reading is fundamental! The bra is lightly lined with no shape to the cup. I had some gaping at the top. The gaping is there with the Rebecca bra but because it has padding you can't tell it is there. The cut is really nice but isn't for me. It is a really great basic bra for the price! I'd still choose the Rebecca bra over this because at least that one gives some better shape and a tiny bit of oomph.

I've worn this style for about seven years and, while it is utilitarian rather than cute or sexy, it is by far the best fitting bra ever. It has no seams so it works well under t's, can be worn with low cut tops, and provides a bit of cleavage. Best of all, it washes beautifully in the washing machine and lasts for years. My only regret is that it only comes in beige and black. It used to come in pink, but they don't even make that anymore. I'd love some other colors.

I just purchased this bra today and wore it out of the store. I really like balconette styles and have struggled to find one that I could wear under tees...none of the molded bras I tried ever fit me. This bra was the clear winner as soon as I put it on. It gives a natural shape (no torpedos) and great support but is bare enough so that I don't feel like I'm wearing something gigantic, even though I'm a 38E.

Full disclosure - I'm a 34G, my bra standards/desires/needs are entirely size based. PROS: No padding, not an ounce of it (which seems impossible to find in larger sizes). No itchy/pokey/rubby spots. Nice round shaping, doesn't push boobs out to your elbows or into points as some more shaped bras do. As lightweight as a large cupped bra with support can come. CONS: It's not the cutest, it's an every day bra. Because they're lighter-weight, they do wear out after a year.

I've been wearing Fantasie bras since 2001. I had breast enhancement surgery in 1999 and went from being a small B cup to a D cup. The problem was that no typical bra would fit me after that. Breast enhancement changes the natural shape of the breast making you fuller on the top and sides, consequently all typical bras would cut me across the chest. If I went with a larger band, it only made things worse because I had no support. A bigger cup was wider but not fuller--as in outward from my chest. I was thinking I made a horrible mistake until I stumbled into a wonderful young women who worked at the Nordstrom's in San Antonio. I was looking confused at all the bras and she asked me if she could help by doing a fitting. She had me try on a few different styles and then checked on how they fit. I knew she could tell that I had breast enhancements but she never said anything to embarrass me. The styles she picked out were all ones that I know now were designed for, or have been used by, women with breast enhancements. I ended up in a size 32F which just blew me away. I would have never, ever have thought I would wear a size like that. I'm a petite 4-6, 5'3", and believe me, I don't look top heavy in any way, it's just that this bra is able to fit the silicone pads in a manner that the regular bras can't replicate. I've washed mine on delicate and in cold water, hang dry, for 17 years. I still have my original nude plus one more and two in black. They look the same and the elastic is tight. I think these bras will outlive me. Paying $60 plus dollars for a bra is more than fair for its superior fit and longevity. I have support on all sides (I lean over to fit myself in properly), and the fabric smooths the breast so I don't have the dreaded nipple reveal. I highly recommend this bra for anyone that has had breast enhancement surgery or has heavy full breast. I highly suggest that you go into Nordstrom's and try on to get the proper fit.

I have worn this bra for at least 7 years. Recently they have changed the material used to manufacture this bra. It is definitely not the same high quality that it was. It is a much cheaper version and does not have the support the older version had. I will not buy this bra anymore.
