This bra should be identical to other cut and sew Fantasie bras but it's not. There is a slight--very slight difference in the height of the bottom panel that makes a HUGE difference in the fit. I feel uplifted and rounded but with the forward projection I prefer.
The straps are too wide-set but juuuust narrow enough that I think they will work. The colorway--a mottled purple--is very pretty and low contrast so I don't ahve to worry too much about what I wear it under. The left cup horizontal seam is not as flat/smooth as the right side. So now I wonder, is the difference in cup panels deliberate or a quality control issue?
It's comfortable, but it squeaks. But the shape is so wonderful and the cup--so far--doesn't chafe against my armpits, that it's a keeper.
Update Dec 2013: straps slip frequently. They are too wide-set.
