I usually prefer to wear a 34", but this actually feels pretty nice.

I have this bra in nude and black. It's so subtle and lovely. The profile is nice and lifted, close to the chest with just enough of a point to give off a slightly retro vibe without looking like I'm smuggling torpedoes. The gore is a bit tall for me, I end the day with a red mark where it's been digging in that takes ages to fade (I mark easily, though). The cups fit smooth, the seaming doesn't show too bad even under thin tops. Very firm fabric with minimal stretch. The band is super comfortable.

This bra is a pretty good fit for me. It's uplifting, reasonably centering, and, while not as round a shape as I'd like, isn't floppy or shelf-y looking. I have the lipstick color way, which is outside of my normal nude zone (Hey, when you only have two bras at a time that you like, you have to be practical!) but I love it. I'm hoping the straps will soften up with washing/wear - they're the tiniest bit scratchy, but I think they'll settle down.
ETA: After wearing it around (versus just trying it on), it's a little flattening on the top of the cup. TBD whether I'm keeping it.This bra is not owned any more

The straps are a bit too wide and the top of the cup wrinkles, but it fits well everywhere else and is comfortable. I wear a 28 usually, so I expected to alter the band (and shall). I might even alter the straps because I don't mind doing that if I find a bra for extremely cheap ($12.80! USD).

This is slightly too small, but still has wrinkling in the top of the cup because the straps are set a bit wide.
I got this with the intention of altering the band, so the band is of course too big on me, but it feels like a fairly standard 30.Updated on Jun 28, 2014 Flag this

I was told I was a 32E, but to go up a cup size in this bra. It fits OK and doesn't show too badly under t-shirts (so the plainness is good). I don't really like molded bras and was hoping for more shaping with this seamed one. I probably should have returned this for a 30" band, but didn't realize it at the time. Even new, I can pull it up over my breasts with it fastened on the tightest hooks. It fits reasonable well (nothing popping out anywhere/no excess fabric), however, the wires do seem to sit further back onto my ribs than I would prefer. Maybe because of that I feel the bra rather flattens me. It is certainly wearable, but I am much happier with the fit and effects of the Panache Idina I received today in a 30FF (size up recommendation on it too).

This may well be the exact same 34F Fantasie Jana Side Support Bra (2831) coledarling tried on at a Nordstrom. I bought this at a Nordstrom Rack for $22.48 plus tax. I now realize the person I bought it for won't want it, but I've entered measurements. I haven't entered anything in the How It Fits category because my size is around 30F.
I may try to photograph the bra because the color is one of the prettiest beige type bra colors I've ever seen. It reminds me of Simone Perele's Peau Rose, though the Jana's clear, delicate beige has a little more apricot and less rose than ... Peau Rose. Fantasie's paper tag calls the color Caramel, but that is way off. This looks like a pale person's nude bra, not a deep tan person's nude bra.
The cups are entirely one layer of delicate and sheer fabric. It seems to be embossed on the outer surface with a subtle leaf texture, like a monochromatic jacquard. This would be a great warm weather bra. If I could tolerate center gores higher than 1.5" I would look for it in 30F.

i only tried this on for a few minutes at Nordstrom and took measurements, so i dont have any pictures and my review is limited.
The band on this felt loose and very stretchy, but i think it might be the fabric, as it isn't very thick. The wires seem the right length, and i definitely get pulled in from the sides, although the loose band makes it feel like id slide back out the sides with wear.
The cup seems to fit, until the upper half and center- then i get the cup pressing in and down. i don't actually quad boob, since its so full coverage, but there is a definite depression, as if the cup is too small only there. I'm not sure this cut is for me at all, as any larger would probably be too wide and too deep.This bra is not owned any more

This bra is just not right for me for a number of reasons. It's unfortunate, because it's a lovely bra and it gives a very nice shape. It gives me a little bit of quadboob, not necessarily because the cups are too small, but just because they're not the right shape for me. The lace at the tops of the cups doesn't lie flat, which bugs me perhaps more than it should. There's some puckering in the elastic under the arms, too. All in all, just not a good fit for me.
