Very pretty however with my tubular breasts there was too much gaping and the cups were cut too high.

Owned in the seasonable purple color with matching purple bottoms. Very comfortable and smooth teeshirt bra.

Good size, but quadboob as it cuts into my center full breasts. Looks great in tshirts from the front, but flattens out if viewed from the side.

I bought this used on eBay, so it’s a bit stretched out. However, it’s extremely comfortable! I’m slightly fuller on top, average projection, and I often have problems with gaping on top in t-shirt bras. No more! This bra encompasses me perfectly, no spillage or gaps. It also doesn’t show under shirts and is comfortable enough to wear all day long!

About this Bra

Purchasing:
* $76 on Amazon with free Prime shipping & returns and available with Amazon Wardrobe
* available in neutrals only

Band:
* Made of a stretch, opaque knit. There is a non-stretch lace overlay, largest in the back, that the tag calls a "smoothing back lace detail."
* Elastic at top of band.
* Wing support: A non-stretch mesh is attached to the inner band from wire to where seaming or boning often sits. However, the mesh just stops here and is only attached to the elastic at the top and bottom of the band. The mesh is not attached to the center of the band so there ... is no actual seaming for wing support.
* Continuous band - wires lower than wings.
* Back close with 3 columns of hooks.

Straps:
* front lacy, back smooth elastic
* soft (don't stand up on their own)
* full adjust (lace on straps does NOT interfere with slider)
* leotard back
* center-pull!!!

Cups:
* seamless full cup
* unpadded underwire
* spacer foam (unlined)
* Wire is 1 1/8" shorter than the channel (more the usual in this size range).


Fit

About me: petite with wide horizontal oval, slightly conical breasts
* average projection
* wide-set (3 fingers width of space between breasts)
* very wide roots (extend past the mid-axillary line)
* even horizontal fullness (just barely outer full)
* short root height, average vertical placement
* mix of firm & soft tissue (front molds to shape of bra, sides push wimpy wires away)
* conical shape (but will squish to round)
* full on top (2/4 shape, not even or very full) - BUT functionally even to FOB due to short roots and soft tissue
* petite (5'3") so have narrow frame
* front (anterior) rib flares

Band:
* length: way too big
* wings: too short, boobs escape
* no axillary skin spillage
* The "smoothing back lace detail" does nothing to smooth back fat. And the stiff lace sticks out, thus creating a new unsightly lump under clothing. Nice idea but epic fail!

Gore: Comfortable, tacks, good spacing, height fine.

Cups:
* Gives a wide & low shape.
* Wires too narrow.
* Top of cup smooth.
* Bottom of cup wrinkles (breasts looking for more projection). Breast pushes wire down.

Straps:
* too far apart, slip (despite center pull straps)
* adjust short enough

Comfort & Fit Summary
* Band too big, cups too narrow.
* Ordered the 34F at the same time. Reviewed separately, but still too narrow and cups now too big. This shape is likely too projected for me. Time to move on.

It seemed to chafe under my right arm. There's also bulging in the back despite being able to fit 3 fingers under the band.

Amazon Wardrobe reveiw/fitting. Slight gapping at top of cups (because volume is under gore? if i push out from under gore it seems to fill the cup fine), gore floats about and inch from me being too close-set and pushing underneath. I think this bra is shallower than my natural projected shape, but it isn't a shape issue to the point of bothering me, just some of me is out wide in front of my arms instead of projected in front.
Band/ wires and everything are fine. Straps are a bit wider than I'd like. Construction seems good.
Padding/molding is NOT thick enough to hide nipple bumps.

Quality seems fine. Comfortable aside from fit issues that lead to appearance issues. Appearance- goare floating and volume goine under it causes gapping at the top of cups, plus nipple bumps showing isnt ideal.

There's not a lot bad about this bra, it just didn't excite me. It felt like a cheaper bra I could buy, like cacique. Gore didn't tack, but that's a rarity for me. It did do good at minimizing my bust, but the price for that was it kind of flattened my shape into saucers. Very comfortable though. Even though I need full cups due to my top fullness, these are a little too full for my tastes. I will be returning it shortly. Oh, also the nude color is towards the pink side.

This is an example of the difference in European sizing which can be very confusing: I ordered what I thought was going to be a US 32F (32:7) through Amazon and received a US 32G, aka UK 32F, (which is probably OK since several reviews said it ran small). The fit was somewhat loose across the top of the cups when I 'slouched' and the bra needed more upper fullness than I have.
The band was cleverly designed that it had lace wings layered over the band in the back to smooth out back fat. However, because I am low-set, it didn't function ... the way it was designed: the top edge of the lace sat a full 3 inches below the back of my armpit, so unfortunately it was ineffective. The lace that was used could also be improved. It only had 1-way stretch (on the lengthwise grain) and none on the crosswise grain.
The deal breaker for me was the gore... very tall and over an inch wide, which sat on my close-set breast tissue. If it had been a plunge I probably would have kept it or looked for a US 32F.
Ultimately, I guess I assumed because Fantasie is a UK brand that the size chart on Bratabase would be UK sizing as well. I should have paid more attention to the chart on Amazon's webpage.

I'm always on the hunt for that elusive t shirt bra. In the right size I think this Rebecca would be quite comfortable and full coverage enough for t shirts or work. It was supportive and smooth. Nothing about it was annoying on my skin. Not exactly a strong endorsement but it is definitely comfortable. I'm not a fan of this style bra and much prefer plunges but for some tops they just don't work so I let the bra fitter at Nordstrom and my daughter convince me that this 32GG fit even though I am usually a 34H or G. It was on sale and tbh I was a little desperate to find something. Sanity prevailed and I am returning it to try the 34.
