This bra fits pretty darn well in the cup (a bit of quadraboob on the larger side) but I need a tighter band. I do believe the band stretched after a couple of wearings but I do believe it's relatively true to size there. The cups are very generous (as I've found to be true for Fantasie in general), so the F here might be more equivalent to an FF/G in other brands. I really need a 34G or even a 32GG in this style, but I do like a tighter band than many women prefer.
Pros: solid build quality & materials. Perfectly smooth under ... clothing. Subtle print/pattern on the cups & a little lace along the front of the band, plus a couple little bows at the cup/strap junction and the gore make it kinda pretty. (Prettier on and off than the 4510, which is a GREAT bra but industrial-looking.) Good shape. Moulded cup disguises irregularity of breast size. Reasonably low center & wings.
Absolutely comfortable day and night.
Cons: Really, nothing serious. I would prefer a wider back band with 3 hooks (and those elusive 4 columns) and it could be prettier. The lace along the bottom does curl up, but that is common to every bra I own with lace there. I've only seen it in beige.
Bottom line: I will be looking for a replacement in a more appropriate size, and I'd have it in every possible color.

Such a bummer to hear! That happened with my first real-size purchase and the Freya Phoebe. Hopefully you'll still be interested in trying similar styles from Fantasie (if you like the look of some) in hopes of finding one that actually fits you well in the future. I've learned that each style can be totally different and before I found that out had missed on some beautiful bras I now regret!
Anyhoo, good luck with the never ending perfect-bra-search. We're all on it! ;)
