FANTASTIC bra from Fantasie . Even though the fit isn't 100% made-for-me perfect, I consider this a very good fitting bra. The band could be a teensy bit tighter (I'm wearing it on the tightest hook) and the cup depth/width the littlest bit smaller. However, neither of those things are perceptible or visible during wear so this one is "too close to call" as we say in the States. And truth be told, I'm really pushing my size range here because I should normally wear a 30C/28D so none of these things are the bra's fault. Further, this is an everyday ... bra so it doesn't have to be "wow."
I sorely wish that Fantasie would make 28D+. I believe I would buy almost every single thing they make -- their fit and construction are that good.
Anyway, the Fantasie Rebecca spacer bra is another impressive offering. The shaping is nice and rounded. Yes, a firmer cup fabric would lift a little better for larger cup sizes but that is the tradeoff for the soft spacer fabric and would defeat the purpose of this bra. (The Fantasie Smoothing Moulded T-shirt Bra (4510) is a very similar bra and it has the firmer fabric.)
This cup fabric feels nice for every day, the little lacy details add interest, and I've seen it in lots of colors. The back! The leotard style back is very comfortable and they moved the straps slightly closer to center, to help keep them from falling down. Another big selling point for me is that the straps & wings don't feel like they're cutting up my underarms, unlike all the Cleo bras I have.
The wing height & wire length are slightly heftier than average, which is in line with all the Fantasie bras I've tried and provides a nice feeling of support. This bra reminds me a lot of my old 30DD - Fantasie ยป Ava Underwire Molded Plunge Balcony (2132) , except that the cup fabric on this bra is much more soft and flexible.
I highly recommend trying this bra to anyone in the applicable size range.
