I ordered this bra online before I got fitted at Nordstroms. The Nordstrom's lady pointed out that I'd get more support with a 34 band than a 38 band. The band is too large (my fault).

The gore is very uncomfortable, it bores right into my sternum. I also had some pretty bad wrinkling issues at the top of the cup. It fits well in the bottom of the cup. If I tighten the straps a bit the wrinkling is solved on my bigger boob, but there's still a little on the little sister. I really love the shape of my chest in this bra though, finally a bra that lifts! It seems like a very well made bra, its not the sexiest thing I own but I bought it to be an everyday bra anyway. The gore is the only major problem for me, as the wrinkling problem disappears under clothes/with strap tightening. I wore it under a v-neck today and it didn't show, which surprised me because it really looks like a full cup bra. I love how it makes me look and I don't miss padding at all. I would recommend it as an everyday bra.

Oddly enough considering this is the same bra, only unpadded, as the 4500, it's very different. The straps are slightly closer together, just enough to still bind sightly but not actually hurt or rub. The wires on the outside are much much lower and give me side boob when I don't have any! The wires are narrower, almost too narrow for me - when I take the bra off it sort of clings to the root of my boobs, but it's comfortable when wearing and doesn't actually sit on top of any tissue. This is also unpleasant because after only a few wears it started showing a lot ... of wear where the edge of the wire is in the channel. I can move it to sit all the way up at the outer edge but then gore folds over. On heavier days I get a very slight quadaboobing on my larger boob, while still getting these weird wrinkles at the top. It gives a decent shape under clothing and isn't too uncomfortable to wear, though it's not my first choice. It's very boring and plain! I had some issues at first when wearing it because the corners of the hook area were very sharp and felt like they were stabbing me until I trimmed the edges slightly.

This is amazing quality but is definitely the wrong size for me. Boob tissue escapes from everywhere when doing S/S. The center gore doesn't sit against my sternum. The straps dig into my shoulders terribly. The band digs into my ribcage and the underwires dig in on the front. The cups seem too shallow and makes quadboob.

My basic necessity. This is the only bra that has not given me a quadboob. It does now because I've gained weight but this is the only bra that has not given one to my close set. I like the shape it gives, not to projected out and not too much of a east-west projection. When I went to the bra fitter, this was my favorite bra out of the many I tried and also the bra fitters favorite. The one thing that bothers me about this bra is that the straps are way too far apart. I always have to bring them back up constantly. Nonetheless, this is still my favorite bra too date.

This is a bra that I wear to bed! I don't love the thin fabric to wear everyday but to bed it is fine. It fits me better than my other Fantasie bras.

I was still figuring out my size when I got this. If you are still figuring out your size, stay away from moulded cups. It is much harder to se how it fits.

This bra is almost perfect for me... I just wish it came in a 36GG! Probably once I get this extra weight off (I lose in my breasts first) it will fit well.

This gives a great shape & profile under clothes. It would be ideal for packing for trips as well since it isn't padded. Many of my bra's that are molded have padding & make them very bulky-- especially in a G/GG cup range & therefore take-up a lot of suitcase space.

Feels very comfortable & would be a great everyday choice if I wasn't spilling out of the top. Good side support as well.

tried on in Nordstrom (retails for $50) same problems as the other Fantasie 30F

If I was told I could only own one bra for the rest of my life, I would have to choose this one.

It is so comfortable, and so practical. I can wear it under almost anything, it is soft and smooth, the shape it gives is perfectly round and lifted, and there is something very pretty about it's simplicity- the beige fabric has a slight sheen, and the only embellishment is a tiny ribbon made of the same material as the rest of the bra.

My one and only complaint is that the band is too stretchy- in non-Freya/Fantasie I'm a 32 band. I have this in a 30 band, and I can easily close it on the tightest hook (though I choose not to for now).

Nevertheless, I'm sure I will be buying another one of these once this one wears out (which unfortunately will be sooner than it should).
