I lusted after this bra for weeks before finding one in my size on eBay; it's from last year so pickings were slim. I really love gray bras and bold lace patterns, so this is right up my alley.
I have several Fantasie Rebecca bras, and all of them are 34G and fit well. In most other brands I'm a 34GG. Since this is an unlined cup AND a Fantasie bra, I assumed a 34G was a safe bet, and I was right. The band is supportive but comfortable. The cups are made for roots a bit taller than mine, but I'm used to that. The lace has ... some stretch to it, but not as much as my Panache/Cleo bras with stretch lace. It has that tiny sliver of elastic along the edge of the cup (like Curvy Kate Ellace) that I imagine would cut in for FOT breasts. The wires are a little wider than my tissue but not uncomfortable.
I haven't tried a ton of bras, but what I've found is that Fantasie tends to be decent in comfort but give a natural/somewhat pointy shape, and this was no exception. It's certainly nowhere near as round as my Panache Envy or Ewa Michalaks.
The lace is really gorgeous! It's white over the satiny gray mesh on the bottom, then gray/white lace near the apex, then white lace at the edge of the cup. There is a small jewel at the gore.
The "side support" that is advertised heavily in the name was a little bit of a let down. I don't think it made a difference at all. It was just a carefully placed panel and seam that met up with the strap.
Overall, it's a decent bra that fits well. The shape isnt my favorite, but I'll still wear it.
