The depth at the apex is a little too deep for me. The cups are lined with no stretch.

For some reason M&S stopped letting United States buyers purchase from their UK website, which is a shame because when you buy bras from them from their US website, they change the sizing and labels, but if you purchase the same bra from the UK website (like I used to do in the past) the label will state and the fit will be example: US 32D = UK 32D but when you are from the US and buy from the US website the label will state and fit will be example: US 32C = UK 32D. I've reached out to them in the past and notified them of ... this annoying conversion rate but nothing came from it. Fast forward a few years later and I decided to try M&S again, but now they won't let me purchase from their UK store from the US... sooo... the sizing is incorrect and inconsistent. I've gained weight so I purchased a "US 32DD" bra, it runs large because it is really a US 32DDD fitting bra.

So the fit is large, the cups are stretchy measured between 9.5"-10", the wires are too long under my armpit. The fabric is cotton, mostly. The elastic on the top of the cups is a little scratchy and presses down on my tissue a bit more than I'd like.

This bra is super comfortable. Has stretchy soft spacer foam cups, that are super light weight. The gore is adjustable by twisting to make it narrower if needed, which also makes the cups be able to go up and down which is perfect for me since my breast are set at different heights so the underwire actual almost sits IFM on my higher up and more projected and smaller left breast.
Band is comfortable, just the right amount of tight.
Cups could fit different size breasts easily, I do get tiny amount of quadding if i stick my chest out, but by far this is not too bad a fit for my conical shape.
The tops of the cups do cut into my armpits a tad, but the material is soft enough not to bother me.

This bra has graduated padding at the bottom of the cups, which I didn't know when I purchased it or I would not have.
Cups are too far apart for me causing quadboob.
The band is neat, as it has an adjustable back thingy making the front closer bra fit numerous band sizes.

Have a love hate relationship with this bra. I have to alter the straps to be on the top of the cups like they are on like every other bra in the world. But they are cheap and well made so it's a fault I can deal with. The thing that bugs me is that I have a feeling they designed it that way for women who are wearing an ill fitting bra, anyways.... if I don't alter the straps the cup curls inwardly and gaps.
This fits my right breast perfectly, but on my more projected and higher up left breast I don't fill out the bottom, but ... that is expected.
I've bought a couple of these in the past and thought I could do better, but after a couple months without them I realized this was my best fitting padded underwire bra, until I tried the Cleo Neve, so this is second in line now.
I do get slight quad boob, but once my breast settle into the cup it's fine. It does slightly feel like it's smashing me down a tad, but oh wells....
The wires are similar to Panache Idina (is more closed on top) and Cleo Maddie (is more open on top), so if you want something more full coverage and not closed on top or too open, this might do well on you.

Stretch molded cups, doesn't give any uni-boob look at all.
The bra is wireless.
Fits my conical, slightly uneven/different shaped breast great.
The top feels like it's pressing down a tad on my FOT-ish shape.
The straps are tapered and super wide at the fullest part.
Thin cup material will show the world if it's "cold".

Like all Fantasie's (just like Freya's) the band is long for a 32, can wear it on the tightest set of hooks and then the band feels great. I can't really tell if the cup fabric stretches or not, if they do, it barely does. I'm surprised this fits as well as it does on my uneven and pointy breasts.

This bra is fantastic! It fits just like the Cleo Marcie except only better! The wires are not as stiff and come up a tad higher in the armpit which I love, and it also has side boning which is a plus.
I have it in every color except the leopard pink.
The bands are a little tighter than my other Paramour bras which is nice.
I had to sell a couple colors because they where sewn incorrectly at the top of the cup horizontal seem (it was only the polka dot ones).

I got this bra from another user and the measurements are quite different than I expected. Sadly it doens't fit because of it.
It's a nice vintage bra. Still new, but old stock.
Tight band, would feel tighter on someone who actually fills in the cups.
Super deep, projected cups. Very bullet bra-ish, pointy shaped cups.
The bust circumference says 36", but my bust is 36", and it's a different type of depth, like I'm shallow and this is projected, if that makes sense.
Could be used as a nursing bra.

This bra is super stretchy. The wires are easily bendable. The cup barely wrinkles on my left smaller breast. Great for hot summer days. More of a lighter orange than the photos.
**update: i had to narrow the gore for this to fit better, still a little too high and wide for me, but it is almost worn out so when i trash it, i will not be buying again.
