Not sure why I never added the pictures... Too deep now, but VERY sexy and projected when I first got it. Band was too big so I never actually wore it. Will probably list soon.

There's a slight empty bubble above my nipples, but that's just because the bra is a tiny bit more pointed than I am. The cups are also just a bit too "closed" on top for my full-on-top shape, but it's not noticeable under clothing. My left breast has a bit of flatness to the underside, so the wire sits about a quarter of an inch below my left breast, but again, it's my breast shape that causes this. It follows the shape of my right breast PERFECTLY. The depth and width of the cups are perfect, as well, so this is definitely my most favorite bra ever and ... probably the best fitting ever. And at the price of just $36, it can't be beat!! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> I seriously want it in every color it exists in. I honestly think this is the only bra ever that I feel completely comfortable in even by the end of the day. I've had it for about 5 months, and the band has barely stretched at all. Probably one of the firmest bands I've ever seen. Even now, after sometimes wearing it 2 or 3 days in a row (sorry, it was my best fitting bra all this time!) I still feel comfortable wearing it on the first hook. Sometimes, on my less bloated days, I wear it on the second, but mostly still the first. For it's price, this is the holy grail of all bras. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

Seriously needed an extender as it was the second tightest when I bought all 4, it hurt. Wing powermesh is extremely firm with very little give. Good for long term wearout, but it means it's too tight for now.

I added pictures of both without and with an extender, including the ugly painful marks it left after digging in for only one minute of wear. It didn't fit like a "second skin," it wanted to BE my skin!!

But speaking of skin, you can see it's a very good "nude" color for me. If it's light pink color and the more yellow Sunkissed bra colors were mixed, it would be ... even more ideal. My bra for cream and white blouses right now.

Some in-cup wrinkling, which I thought was from it being too tight, especially considering there's also major in-cup quadding when I didn't have an extender. In the front view, it looks like it's almost trying to smash down the lower half of my breasts. After adding an extender the quadding was reduced but the wrinkles got larger. Maybe still straining but vertically instead of horizontally? I had to tighten the straps a small bit more with the extender, as they sat further out on my angled shoulders. The strap elastics are nice and stretchy, which always makes it difficult for me to tell if I have then too tight. It could also be slightly more inner full in cup shape than I am, as the wrinkles are not there on the sides of the cups.

Otherwise, the underwire shape is a perfect match for me, the gore doesn't dig (with an extender), and it's very pretty overall.

There's a bit of a weird gathering at the center gore when the bra is relaxes, but ot stretches flat ao I don't think it effects fit.

I don't actually own this bra, but I tried it on three years ago when my breasts were much smaller, and it didn't fit then so it definitely won't fit now! But you know that great feature called "Recommendations?" THIS KEEPS COMING UP. WHY?!?! No way would a large, stretchy 30 band fit me! No way would cups that small fit me now! Ugh. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> Basically I added this so it will hopefully fix my recommendations. We'll see...

*update, Fed 2016* So I washed and dried this bra (cuz it kinda smelled like cleaning chemicals when I got it, ew) and ta-da! The weird shape isn't quite as much of an issue as before! For some reason, the top edge binding was just SO tight in comparison to the cup fabric! It must have softened a tiny bit, cuz now it doesn't cut in as badly. You can't really tell under clothing. It doesn't give me the MOST projection of all the bras I fit, but it fits. I might still not buy another CHP, but it's still a usable bra.


This bra fits.... meh. Theoretically, it ... fits perfectly, but realistically... The top edge of the cup, the seam bindings, is tighter than the cup fabric, so it cuts a bit into my breast tissue and creates an ugly bump above my apex. (You can see in the pictures.) I have more upper fullness than lower fullness, but either: A) I don't have ENOUGH upper fullness, or, B) since I am SO empty on bottom, my apex always sits MUCH lower than the apex of bras, so I end up with a small empty space above my apex in a bra. So even though I have tall roots, I'm not that full, and more of a pointy shape, and my tissue is about medium on the firm to soft scale. Maybe if I had very round, full, and firm breasts, I would fill the top edge of the bra better and stretch the seam binding better. I haven't tried this bra with cookies or push-up pads yet, so maybe it would fit better with a bit more "firm tissue?" Also, when I slouch, it doesn't cut in and suddenly gaps. ????? What is with this bra??? Maybe the straps are too wide? You can see from the pictures that they're basically beyond my armpits and out on my arms, haha.
The projection on this bra was also extremely lacking. This bra basically just sits around my breasts and keeps the "wider than my frame" look, where I would rather prefer to have a bra that is flat enough on the sides that they push the breasts forward so that they're narrower than my frame and more projecting forward. (When I'm standing, my breasts are wide and shallow, but when leaning over, they're narrow and very projected. I want a bra to make them look like they do when leaning over!!) I know that the CH and CHP cuts aren't supposed to have a much projection as the plunges, but the wire width and cup depth fit me perfectly where I believe the plunges might be a bit too narrow for my roots. I get a LOT more projection with Comexim, and I've heard plenty of negative things about ordering through Ewa from the U.S., so while I'm sad this bra doesn't work, I'm relieved that I finally know which Polish companies work for me and which don't! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> It's been a few years waiting, and now I know I should stick with Comexim. It's sad, because I reaaaaally like some of the Ewa colors, but I guess I'll just have to admire from afar! Other factors effecting the bra fit might be that it's an older used bra, so maybe the cups have been stretched out over time? I have seen other photos where CHP bras give a bit of projection, but until Comexim stops working for me, I might just leave Ewa alone for now.

(Basically the long rant I posted on the front page, but edited to focus on mostly juts this bra.)

Well, I was reminded why I don't shop during Brastop clearance sales, especially if it's the ONE bra left in that size...

I purchased two beautiful Fantasie bras from Brastop on the "up to 80% off clearance!!" sale. (Side rant: are any of them actually that much off? I only find like 50-60% off, and even the one I got as the last bra was like 70% off... hmmmm) This one focuses on the side-support in 30D. It is comically flawed. (Laughably ridiculous fit!! I have always known where the term ... "quad-boob" came from, but I have never actually looked literally like four boobs... until now. Hence the comical flaw. Pictures coming soon.)

I would say that this is a 30C mislabeled, but they don't make 30C in this style! So by my the other flaws discovered, I believe this was just incorrectly constructed.

Across the 30D side support bras I viewed, they average at about a 4.8" cup width and a 7.7" cup depth. Mine is a 4.5" cup width and 7.5" cup depth! Wire length is also an entire inch shorter (7.5" compared to 8.7" average). Gore height is about three-quarters of an inch shorter (2.0" compared to 2.8"). Wing height, for whatever reason, is actually a half-inch taller. (Mine: 3.5". Average: 3.0") Band length, stretched band, and gore width is fine. So it appears the cradle was constructed correctly, but not the cups! How did this one end up with small cups AND a wire that's so tiny in comparison to the other 30Ds??? They don't do 30C, so I cannot fathom where that wire came from!

From a quality control standpoint, if you have less than a second to check on it, they both look beautiful, so I can see how they passed inspection. (Honestly, fabrics are achingly beautiful, tear-worthy that neither work.) Nothing was stitched incorrectly, and no backwards straps, weirdly stretched elastics, or snags in the fabrics. But how could one end up with such a tiny wire, and one with with wires intended for a two sizes up??

In summary: 30D is smaller than average, being painfully small. It sucks.

Technically I don't own this yet, but I have tried it on, so this is my fit setting for when I tried it on.
Although the measurements are right, for some reason I can't fill the very bottom of the cups, and the cups appear pushed down and sitting too low on my chest. Maybe there isn't enough immediate projection?

November 2015: Now the cups are too small and cut in almost everywhere. There is visible strain on the cup seams. Rib cage is a little over 1" larger than before, so I need to use an extender again (it's also been resting for a few months so it's probably tightened up again). I've ordered a 28FF, and I'm afraid I should have got a 30 band. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />


Original review: When I first got this bra, I could barely stretch the band to 28", so it was painful and I had to use an extender. Over 6 months later, and it's definitely comfortable ... on the first hook, but on "less bloated" days I sometimes will have it on the second hook.
I believe that since the cups are a tiny bit too deep for me, and the band tight, the cups are stretched wide so that the wire sits about a quarter inch beyond my breast tissue. Otherwise the wires are a bit narrower than my other two bras that fit perfectly. I fill the cups all the way, and only when I slouch is there a gap along the top.
Overall, the bra is comfortable, but if I'm just slouching at my computer all day, my breasts and small rolls of skin under them sandwich the wires and smash them into my ribs, so when I finally "unfold" for the day and stand up, I have painful indents. This is easily remedied by me not slouching, which can be hard to remember sometimes. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" />
I would definitely recommend this bra if the Maddie fits, and Parfait Charlotte fits. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

November 2015: I never reviewed this, but mostly because when I wore it, it fit me perfectly. My breasts quickly grew to need 28FF so I only wore this for a few months. It still has mostly the original cup shape, where it was concave on the outer sides which can be seen in the photos, and never had a chance to be reshaped by my breasts.

November 2015: Absolutely amazing almost perfect bra fit ever. I don't know why I didn't write an original review when I first got this! Now the band is getting stretchy and it's probably time for another 28FF. Basically, my most favorite bra ever and I will always wear it! Best fit I've ever had in a bra. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> The one tiny issue is the cup width. I think my breasts have magically become more projected and a bit less wide, but maybe the wires have just been stretched out since I wear this bra the most. The wire actually sits a tiny ... bit behind my breast root on the side now. But the center is great, I completely fill the cups, there is just a tiiiiiiny bit of cutting in at the top (not enough for the next size up, considering that I'm mostly 28F in almost every other brand and also that the wires are too wide) that doesn't show through shirts. This bra gives me a great silhouette and I can wear it under anything. While the color is a bit more dark beige than my skin tone, it's not a ridiculous tan or mocha color, so it hides pretty well even under sheers! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
