Please see my review under Fantasie 4510 32F [white folks] beige aka "nude".
Just a question: when are manufacturers going to stop that silliness? We took the "flesh" crayon out of the box a long time ago. It's beige. Well, this particular one is black, but I mean the one where the 4510 review lives.

The perfect t-shirt bra! Like many here, I have relied on the Fantasie 4510 for years and it remains my all-time favorite workhorse of a bra. Pretty/cute it ain't, but my first "fitted" bra (34D 6 years ago) and still the only one that suits my shape. It disappears even under thin knits, stays comfy all day, washes & wears like iron without stretching out, provides a slightly-minimizing yet lifted, good-for-work coverage profile, has low cups in a balcony style so doesn't show under a bunch of necklines, relatively narrow wires but a high enough wing to pull & hold side tissue etc. etc. When I went to ... replace my old 34D after finding my ABTF size, I tried at least 8 other popular t-shirt bras and even tried different sizes. All of the Freya Decos, CK, Wacoal, a few Panache, Parisa Fe, Chantelle....every single one smushed me flat or squeezed me in/out and plus did some other horrid thing, like orange in a glass or quadding. The gore did not tack in a single one of them and it looked like half my torso was a uniform broad tall wide undefined bulge. Apparently (or so I was told by the lingerie salesperson) that is the 'American look', and yes you see it everywhere, don't you? For research purposes, I tried a number of sizes in the 4510, and my opinion is that the band is true to size with very little stretch but the cups run a tad off. Since the moulded shape is so firm, you can get away with going either way. The 32FF gapped a little in the center, the 30FF was tight in the band and skewed the wires a bit, the 32F has a bit of space at the bottom, the 34F had a little too much cup to the sides - but all were wearable under clothes and totally comfortable. Plus! In the 4510 I have two breasts that I can be proud of! Projected & close-set ladies, listen up! Try the 4510. It may be the beginning of a long and rewarding relationship! For reference: 32F/FF; narrow, close & high-set, even 2/5 shape, average root height, immediate projection.

Tag says UK 32F/US 32G.

I don't like the straps set so far apart. They cut in to my arms and cause the cups to buckle near the straps when I move.
I'm not crazy about the stiff cups. (In fact the bra arrived in the mail very crushed and with major creases in the cups. Time doesn't seem to be relaxing the creases. Maybe body heat from wearing would help.)
Wires are too long so that they sit on my ribs, out of my IMF by .5" on my larger side & .75" on my smaller side. But the width of the wires was fine.
I wish it had 3 hooks ... instead of only 2.
I'm not crazy about the tall gore. It's narrow enough that it's not painful, but definitely not my preferred height for my short torso.

I like the appearance this bra gives under clothes. Nicely rounded, but not bowling balls. I get no quadding. Nice proportions for a projected shape.
I like the band. Feels true to size and is comfortable.
I like the fully adjustable straps with restricted stretch.
I like the height of the wings, but borders on slightly too tall.

I don't think the next cup size down will fix the issue of the wires being too long.

My boobs sit really well in the bottom, but then there is extra room in the top half. I know that I got the band size too large, as this was my first properly fit bra purchase. I originally got a 30 band size (which is what I should be) and thought that it was too tight, but I think I just wasn't used to a proper band instead of the 36 I was wearing. I've only had it about a month, and I think that quality of it is good. The material is comfortable and soft, but the shape just doesn't quite fit with the shapes of my breasts.

I like this bra. It is smooth and hides under shirts and is mostly comfortable. The only downside is the cup wrinkles at the bottom under my smaller boob. This gets kind of annoying as it causes a general feeling of lack of support on that side. It probably wouldn't be a problem though for people with less of a size difference (I'm perfectly the same with a one cup size false).

The only thing that has happened with washing to this bra over the last year (cold water and the occasional dryer trip due to roommates) is that the bias on the top has gotten a teensy tiny bit dingy and some fuzzies on it, but those can be picked off. I haven't noticed deterioration in the cup or band.

This was a decent bra, but I'm not sure if it was just too small, or it just was meant for bottom heavy breasts, because it cut in at the top. The straps are pretty wide set as well, and while they don't fall off, they sit at an uncomfortable spot. The cup also came up too high in the armpit, so it cut in if I sat down. (It could just be my poor posture, but the bra does come up rather high in the armpit).

Overall, I'm going to have to keep looking.
