The Fantasie Vivienne bra is a very supportive and beautiful bra. It is true to size compared to other Fantasie seamed bras. The band and straps fit well and are comfortable. The straps adjust down to my small frame. The cups come up quite high on the sides which helps hold all of my breast tissue and bring it forward, but not so high as to be uncomfortable and I am only 5'2". This bra gives great lift and a nice natural shape. While I don't find it pointy, it is not the completely rounded shape that some may prefer. The ... cups give enough coverage to keep my jiggly breast under control (this can be a problem for me with lower cut balcony/balconette bras). The only negative I have is that the center gore is a bit too high for my close together breasts and I can feel it digging at the end of the day. The bra may show under tight and thin T-shirts and knits, but unless I am at work, I no longer worry about this.
Update: The center gore was just too painful after wearing the bra an entire day. Also, the band on this bra stretched very quickly and I was soon wearing it on the tightest hook. I wear my bras once or twice a week and wash them by hand, so it was not due to normal wear. Since trying on Panache and Cleo bras, I realize that Fantasie bands are much looser and stretchier.
