This Fantasie 30FF Fusion (3091) did not fit kinda everywhere, mostly because the 30 band was huge. It stretched all the way to 34" easily.

Now I can't speak with authority on 30s; maybe this is average across the spectrum of 30 bands. But my Prime Wardrobe order had six 30s in it. Most of the other 30's I tried stretched to like 31-32", including another Fantasie style in 30FF (4520) that I really liked. 34" was huge in comparison. It definitely wasn't the right style for a 28 seeing how the sister size up fits.

The gore, despite having quite average measurements, sat very high and definitely into my cleavage - I don't think a tighter band would have helped it tack.

The wire was laughably far from where my boob actually is (see photos). I was honestly impressed how poorly this fit.

The color in these photos came out a much more "true red" than this bra is. It's more of a brilliant raspberry red. It's truly a stunning color. It's extremely comfortable, even though this size very clearly doesn't have enough space in the cup for me. I've ordered a pile of bras in, what seems to be, the very wrong sizes, but hey, there aren't enough measurements at this size, so here we are. The straps are fairly close together, so that's nice for narrow shoulders. The shape is awkward on me, but that's to be expected with the amount of spillage in the cups. The band is very comfortable. If it came in a larger cup size than this, I'd be all over it. The only thing I think this would probably lack is enough immediate projection in the cup. I've been having trouble with that. The search continues.

(English summary below)

Ça m'ennuie de dire qu'il n'allait pas, parce que le modèle me plaît beaucoup sur les photos. Déjà, la bande ne ferme que par 2 crochets, et en 38H, c'est un peu limite niveau maintien, mais les bretelles sont confortables et larges. Pour le tour de dos, ça allait bien, j'étais bien maintenue sans que ça ne serre. Pour l'entre-bonnet, je pense qu'il monte trop haut entre mes seins et que ça le « plie » comme si les baleines allaient se chevaucher. Le haut du bonnet est bien à plat, il y a un léger creux à l'attache de la bretelle, mais je serai ... probablement trop juste en volume avec une taille de moins. Je pense que la forme ne convient pas, plus qu'un problème de taille. Dommage, il est très confortable.

***
This bra didn't work for me, and it saddened me a bit. There are only 2 hooks per column, and I found it was not enough to support my breast, but the straps are wide and comfy. The band length is fine, it fits without feeling too tight. I think the gore is too high for me, because it doesn't lie flat and the wires tend to overlap. There was a slight crease under the strap, but the cup feeling allright otherwise, so I imagine trying the same bra in 38GG would end with quadboob. More than a problem of size, I think this is a problem of shape.

ABOUT THIS BRA
An unpadded, seamed, nearly full cup, underwire bra with top stretch.
This is the “Full Coverage, Side Support” model (3091), not the discontinued but still available (as of July 2019) “Average Coverage” (3090) model.

Purchasing: Purchased in sand for $58 using Amazon Wardrobe (also available with free Prime shipping & returns). Available in black, white, beige, and pink only – all in a sheer/opaque stripe.

Band, strap, and cup construction identical to 32F - Fantasie » Fusion Full Cup Side Support (3091).


ABOUT ME: petite with wide horizontal oval, slightly conical breasts
* average projection (not shallow or very projected)
* average-set (one finger width of space between breasts)
* ... wide roots (extend to the mid-axillary line)
* even horizontal fullness (just barely outer full)
* short root height, average vertical placement
* mix of firm & soft tissue (front molds to shape of bra, sides push wimpy wires away)
* conical shape (but will squish to round)
* full on top (2/4 shape, not even or very full) - BUT functionally even to FOB due to short roots and soft tissue
* petite (5'3") so have narrow frame
* front (anterior) rib flares


FIT:

Band stays in place with wear. Underarm area looks good until I move, then flesh escapes over top of wing.

Gore is comfortable, tacks, good spacing, height fine.

Straps are too wide-set and slip with movement, even when adjusted rather tightly.

Cups: Wires enclose all breast tissue and keep it inside the cup (despite soft wire, thanks to a very snug band). Wires are almost too wide -- only full under arms because shallow cups are pushing boob into the armpit. Upper cup is smooth (thanks to stretch lace) but too shallow at apex and at wire. Very snug band keeps wires from being pushed down. Outer edge of cup cuts into tail of Spence - ouch! Cups round breasts and provide some lift (side-view) but a wide (east-west) shape (front-view).


ASSESSMENT & PLAN:
* Tried this size (30FF) because in the 32F the band & cup fit but cut into the tail of Spence. So was hoping that a smaller band with the same cup volume would be more comfortable.
* Unfortunately, the shorter band stretches the wires giving the cups a shallow shape. Too shallow for me. And didn’t fix the cutting into the tail of Spence. STOP.
* I was so disappointed that this didn’t fit that I forgot to measure it before returning.

* Elastic at top of band.
* Wing support: soft seaming.
* Continuous band - wires lower than wings.
* Back close with 3 columns of hooks.
* Hooks are padded.

* Soft cups (no padding or molding).


Fit

About me: petite with wide horizontal oval, slightly conical breasts
* average projection
* wide-set (3 fingers width of space between breasts)
* very wide roots (extend past the mid-axillary line)
* even horizontal fullness (just barely outer full)
* short root height, average vertical placement
* mix of firm & soft tissue (front molds to shape of bra, sides push wimpy wires away)
* conical shape (but will squish to round)
* full on top (2/4 shape, not even or very full) - BUT functionally even to FOB due to short roots and soft tissue
* petite (5'3") so have narrow frame
* front (anterior) rib flares

Band:
* length: stays in place with wear
* wings: good height
* slight axillary skin spillage

Gore:
* Comfortable, tacks, good spacing, height fine.
* Gore is quite high, but not uncomfortable during wear. However, do NOT put on bra by hooking back with cups upside down then flipping cups up. The tall gore snaps up onto the sternum with a loud and painful smack. So loud that my daughter heard it from the next room!

Cups:
* Give a pleasantly round, projected shape.
* Wires enclose tissue nicely.
* Top of cup smooth on larger breast. (Slight wrinkling on smaller breast.)
* Bottom of cup filled -- looks really good.

Straps:
* Feel too far apart, but don't feel in danger of slipping.
* adjust short enough

Appearance under Clothing:
* Seams visible under thin T-shirt.
* Top edge of cups visible under V-neck.
* Very visible in armholes of sleeveless shirt.

Extended wear test (a few hours, working at the computer writing reviews for Bratabase):
* Band feels slightly tight, but comfortable.
* Breasts push wire down ever so slightly, but not uncomfortable.
* Straps didn't budge.
* Breast stays inside cup (doesn't escape under wire).
* Cuts into tail of Spence -- a deal breaker. Tried loosening the straps to ease rubbing, but didn't help and made straps slip. Bummer.

Comfort & Fit Summary
* BEST FIT SO FAR!!! (Of nearly 100 bra styles/sizes tried.)
* Why is the band of the 32E too big but the band of the 32F on the tight side? (Color? Beige 32E, white 32F)
* Cutting into the armpit only obvious after a few hours, but no way I could comfortably wear all day.
* Tried with a extender: Band now not supportive, straps slip, and didn't help rubbing on tail of Spence. SO CLOSE.

This bra doesn’t fit me anymore, but worked fine when it did. Nothing exciting, not quite the right shape or fit, but it did the job.

I intended this as my regular go to bra, but I don’t like how the texture is obvious through my shirts, even more so than my unlined lacier bras. I do like that it is pretty lightweight and comfortable in the summer.

The bra does not really do anything for the shape of my boobs. It doesn’t provide me any lift and almost makes me look flatter. It also gives me a slightly pointy shape even though I completely filled the cup before ... I lost weight. I usually prefer a lifted and rounded look, so it is out of the norm for me. The gore was higher than I typically go for, and I found it uncomfortable. The straps easily slide off even if I tighten them, which gets annoying quickly. This bra helped me learn very quickly that this type of full cup bra is not my preferred and does not flatter me.

Overall, this bra is fine, but doesn’t check a lot of my preferred boxes. I was very ashamed of my body when I bought this, but now that my confidence is slowly bouncing back, I admittedly prefer to accentuate my hourglass body. This bra has the opposite effect. It is now too big for me, and I don’t intend on purchasing in my new smaller size.

This bra is so comfortable and supportive! Great full-coverage bra, love the side support. Nice shape, straps perfect width for my frame. Cups are nice and wide.

This felt so good when I first put it on but then the underwire started slipping below my IMF. Disappointed! It is a lovely basic if it fits your shape. I think the cups are maybe not projected enough at the bottom for me. Returned.

Love the stretch feel of this bra but something doesn't sit right in the cups. The top section is one layer and thinner while the side and bottom are two layer. Get slight cone boob in this because of the different seams pulling. Wire feels a tad to wide on the side so I don't know if it will be good to go a cup size up. Center gore lays flat and is pretty narrow but in one of the pics you can see how close set I am when pulling gore away from me. Close to a perfect bra but not the perfect bra.

Size up a cup or forget this bra?

I like the stretchy feel of the fabric, band runs large to me and I need a 30 for sure, back is great, will need to size up too.
