This bra looks comically huge on me, even though the cup depth is similar to what I have in other unlined bras.

I would recommend sizing down in this, or recommend it for people who get along with full cup shapes and have enough center and top fullness to fill out the very tall cups.

This is my everyday bra. I've worn them for 5+ years. The wires have never poked through, the elastic stretches a little after the first few wearings & washes but then seems to last forever. It's hard to tell (except for the faded label) which are newer & which are older. It may not be sexy or beautiful but it fits my shape, does not create extra projection so I can wear clothes in a size that fits the rest of me instead of blouses etc. whose shoulder seams are 1/2 way to my elbows, & I can go through the day moving my ... arms without obstruction, bending & lifting without coming out of it. Even though I'm 68 I don't sag much so I can't comment on lift except that I have more with it on than without it. The shape is rounded & natural, looks good in T shirts, but when going out in public headlights may need dimming. Most of the time it's just me, my husband & my sheep so I need to be able to move around freely without thinking about the wear & tear on the bra or whether I'm popping out the top & without the bulk of a sports bra.

This bra is too big for me. I bought it based on the numbers, but I think this would work better for someone who has a fuller breast. THe apex is 9 inches deep unstretched, so I don't have enough compression to add support.

Full coverage bra, great for under clothing. Underwires, comfortable distance beneath arm pits. Some back boob, back panels not large enough to prevent this. Two hook closure. Some stretching but not a lot, a good work horse type bra for everyday wear.

This is not my size, but it works as a "keep it around for now" bra. At the moment, I can't wear it for a full day (12+ hours) without having some kind of pain due to it squashing my boobs upward (not inward), out of their natural state.

I think the style does not work on me. If I had my correct size (probably 34GG?), the cup would be even taller and looser on the top third.


CUP: Too tall. Not deep enough where I need it. Too much volume on top. Apex too high for me, though this is a seamless single piece of fabric, so ... it's hard to "see" where the apex is.
BAND: Okay. Can't tell if it's stretching the wire too much. 2 hooks.
WIRE: Holy cow long, at least for me. Width is okay, a bit narrow for me, but it's kind of stretchy, which is not really a good thing.
CENTER GORE: Way too high on me. Not really poke-y, though, which seems odd. I can't tell if the wire is torquing or not.
WINGS: Fine.
STRAPS: In between fine and too wide. I probably should adjust them shorter.

AESTHETICS: Blah color. Blah fabric. Smooth, though. Doesn't do a thing for hiding nipples.

This is the first molded cup bra that comes close to fitting me. It was very comfortable when I tried it on, but after a full day it's very uncomfortable! The straps are almost in my armpits and rub terribly any time I move my arms, so by the end of a day I have raw spots where the straps bind under my arms. The bottom of the band digs in painfully while the top edge of it is fine. It does stay put through the whole day and if I don't have to move my arms much it's pretty comfortable, and it gives a very nice shape under clothes. It's not a terribly pretty bra, just very basic. Straps are fully adjustable and slightly softer on the underside

This bra gives a decent shape and looks nice under t-shirts. It's not incredibly supportive or pretty, but it's comfortable.

I'm a big fan of Fantasie's molded cup bras. This is the soft cup version of the molded Smoothing sister bra which I found fit a bit too odd with a very high center gore and tall cups both on the front and sides. The center gore did not sit flat on my chest which would suggest instead trying a G cup. Although that sounds like the best idea there was actually a bit of wrinkling in the bottom of the cup and at the top of the cup where it meets the ... straps. It's a full cup bra which I find uncomfortable. It tries to cover too much skin on me there's not quite enough to fill it everywhere. Not only this but it appears to have some type of minimizing effect as it squashed my boobs f.l.a.t. from the sides! This is why I enjoy the right fitting balconettes because they will support and cover just what they need to and nothing extra.

Definitely not the right everyday bra for me.

The sizing is confusing and I ordered the wrong cup size. I fit in a 32FF (Fantasie UK size) - but thought I'd add the measurements for this slightly smaller cup size.

Otherwise, I wear this style everyday. It is very comfortable, gives full coverage, and I don't worry about show through. It does have a minimizing effect which pushes me out to the sides a bit more than I'd like.

This bra gives me good coverage and is very comfortable. I never have to worry about show through of seams, lace, etc.
I am not thrilled with the minimizing part of this bra. It pushes me to the side making me seem wider and flatter.
Still -the fit and comfort make this my everyday bra.
