I am fairly content with my Fantsie Twilight bra. It doesn't quite knock the ball out of the park, but I finally have a bra that fits well enough that I can wear it. This Fantasie Twilight Unlined Bra with Side Support size 30FF in black feels like a bra that can securely hold me as I take on the day yet still look alluring come nightfall. I would stop short of calling it my dream bra but still rate it highly. Its the best bra for my body I have checked out this week. Other recent bra attempt went poor, most caused me more pain and discomfort ... than relief and were more boob prisons than comfortable undergarments I would willingly put on my body. This bra however I keep reaching for. I had been eyeing this particular bra for a couple months. It was one of the first bras I had looked at when I started scanning blogs, reviews, and bratabase entries in search of ABTF. I discovered my cheaply made size Large $4 Shein bras fit small in the cups but still much better and felt more comfortable than all my other bras. Until I wore and washed them they even fit better than my new Victoria Secret bras in size 34DD/36DD that I thought I was married too. It was a mind boggling realization that from middle school on I doubt I had ever worn a properly fitting bra that far off. Hence my search. I have worn this bra on and off this week and I still feel content with the fit and look of this bra.
The bra is constructed of a few thin layers of woven mesh, connected with two vertical seams. On the top of the cups strwt ch ing diagonally from the apex to the gore is another seam attaching a strip of f verybine stretchy mesh, which I appreciate. It makes the the cups a little more forgiving with slight weight fluctuations and the extra top fullness that seems to swell up come certain points during my cycle. The panel is less than an inch thick (0.75inches) and measure 7inches long from gore to the apex where the strap meets the cups at the tops of both cups. One breast is bigger than the other but in this bra it's hard to see that from the top. My smaller tight bra does not entirely fill up the cup and the wire feels slightly wide and it fits my left breast well. The black lace is interesting and there is a little gold colored adornment on the gore, which feels a little more tasteful than slapping a bow on there. The cups are constructed to help bring my breasts forward, even with the 3inch gore my brrasts are not being made to run towards my underarms, I think that is thanks to the side support and construction of the bra. It caused my breasts to look a little cone shaped, but not in an unflattering way. The cups of this bra cover more than my usual plunge styles, it peeked out of some low cut tank top I wore, so it's not a style I would wear with every outfit. I feel like the bra has more give and could handle more outterfullness which I kind of lack, but it fits my left breast. No quad boob. The gore tacks and does not dig into my sternum. The strap placement is good and is not too far apart.The straps are just thick enough, and I am able to wear the 30 band on the tightest hooks. Right now I have it on the middle hooks. If this bra stretches quickly like I have heard about other Fantasie bras, the band may not have enough support soon. This makes sense because I fit and feel a little better in a 28 band. I am glad I tried a 30ff UK or 30H US. I have lost weight after I first tried the calculator and my 28GG bras and 30G Fantasie bra was a little too big in the cups( amoung other fit issues.
I love the look of this nice Lacey bra. It is a different style than I am use too but that's okay. After a few weara I noticed that its not as supportive as I need, but it's still doing the job. I also noticed the underwire slightly dug in near my armpits when I had the band on the tightest fitting hook. This went away with some adjusting. I am able to scoop and swoop my breasts in and not worry about them though, they stay put which I am not use too. I am glad I gave this Fantasie bra a try after the Illusion didnt work out and was surprised the 3inch gore was no issue and the wings weren't too tall. I am not sure if side Support bras are meant for my breast shape/type but this bra does the job. There is less cleavage than I like for most of my outfit choices but that's okay. I hope to buy the matching panties soon, but until then I am sure it will go well with any of the basic black lace pairs I own. This bra is quite nice and makes me feel confident, supports and doesn't cause me pain. It hits all the basic points for what a bra has to do, so I am satisfied. The hunt continues for the perfect fit though.
