One day my mind conjured up my dream bra - a seamless, unlined beige bra with no pattern, lace, anything. Something to wear under white t-shirts that wasn't moulded. This was the bra I immediately clung to. And here I am.

Guys, this bra is awesome. I want it to work for me so badly https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> The wires are so soft and flexible. Seriously, I put it on and went to feel how the center gore was sitting on my chest - for a minute, I thought I'd bought a wireless bra. But nope. The center gore is pretty low, and the wires ... don't come up far at all in it. No stabbing!

The sheer look isn't for everyone - in one post someone said how it "leaves nothing to the imagination" - and I really like that! Some people won't. Not gonna lie, sometimes bras like this will smush your nipples in the weirdest, most unsexy ways. But other times, when your nipples are sitting straight, it's a very nice look. From the front, I feel like this bra makes me look a bit flattened and wide (I think that's just how I perceive it based on how bras flatten out your nipples), but from the side I am actually more rounded than I was expecting.

Under a shirt.. Depending on the shade of your nipples, this can be a pretty solid nude bra - not for those who are afraid of hard nipples, of course. My nipple color shows through my lightest shirt a tiny bit with this bra - the pierced one is more obvious. And a weird part of me is cool with this - it's like wearing a bra, but not. It hides the natural pointy, droopy, kind of splayed thing my boobs do without a bra, gives me a nice rounded shape instead, but doesn't hide my nipples. I know this isn't what most people are looking for in a bra, but I'm kind of mystified - of course, in most of my shirts it won't be an issue anyway!

The fabric is so smooth and soft - not itchy at all. The sparkle adds a special touch to what could be another boring beige bra (it also comes in a brown color called mocha, so at least Fantasie has more than one "nude" option here)

Most of my bras are in 30E, but after reading some reviews I sized down to this 30DD and I think that was the best option. The cups are tall and full coverage, and a 30E would very possibly be too tall and I'd have more trouble filling out the tops of the cups. Originally, I struggled with this bra fitting shallow and wide. Due to the flexible wires, the cups were being stretched with the band. Adding an extender helped so much with this, though the band didn't really feel too tight before. With an extender, I think the bra allows for some projection and even has narrower wires. I think the shape it gives me is just as round as my Cleos, with a bit less lift. I'm in love.

I saw another review that noted that panties ran big, so here I want to say that I found my matching high waist brief to fit small. I bought an S after looking at their size chart, but I guess I should've went with a M.

After a few wears, I am rating quality as "OK", because it feels fragile for a t-shirt bra. I am always wary of catching something on the fabric and causing a run, and pulling at the cup edges or gore too much might pull a string loose. I expect this in a lacy, sexy bra but less in a t-shirt bra.

First time measuring with the abtf calculator and I was put in 36F UK size.Wrinkle city! I am guessing because I'm slightly conical and have slightly shorter roots, it overestimated my size. Since the band size was good, I tried 36E and the cups didn't quite fill out. My nipples reached the edge but the top had way more empty space than the bottom (I'm FOB, btw). I really really liked this style so I was determined to try once more in a smaller cup and 36DD seemed to be a perfect fit! So you may need to go down a cup size (or in my case, two). This is definitely a really good bra if you need narrow wires, are full on bottom and are close-set. The gore is low enough to provide separation without cutting into breast tissue. I'm so glad I didn't immediately give up on this bra.

For moulded bras in general, I wish someone told me (or I had the common sense to figure out) that this bra doesn’t have gores or pads for support! Also, it does make my boobs seem a little too far apart from each other. However, this is an excellent bra.

I got this bra when my boobs were 30F (UK). I now obviously have a different size, but the bra still fits fairly well! I have a few wrinkles at the top of the bra and a little gaping under the straps, but I still think it’s a great fit.

I was so surprised at how well this bra fit me!
Even though it’s sheer, I found it to be quite supportive and keeps me in place. Nipples do show through if wearing a thin shirt, but it works otherwise. The band is bigger than expected probably due to how stretchy it is. I could probably have gone with a 32 FF but it’s not a big deal, I use the second set of hooks and it’s fine. The strap placement is fantastic for narrow/sloping shoulders. My partner finds it sexy too haha

For reference I am full on bottom, narrow roots width wise, short roots, splayed shape, and narrow shoulders.

*Edit-wow this band has stretched out way too much too quickly. It’s now too loose on the tightest hook.

Fit

About me: petite with wide horizontal oval, slightly conical breasts
* average projection
* wide-set (3 fingers width of space between breasts)
* very wide roots (extend past the mid-axillary line)
* even horizontal fullness (just barely outer full)
* short root height, average vertical placement
* mix of firm & soft tissue (front molds to shape of bra, sides push wimpy wires away)
* conical shape (but will squish to round)

* Wires too narrow.
* Top of cup smooth. But only because there is elastic on the top edge of the cup. Cup is expecting more upper fullness than I possess.
* Bottom of the cup wrinkles.
* Apex of cup is higher than my nipple (probably because the bra isn't providing any support).
* Don't be fooled by the stock photos. This fabric is very, very sheer. Everything shows. (This is a pro or a con, depending on your goals.)

Straps:
* feel widely placed but are not slipping
* adjust short enough

Fit Under Clothing:
* Almost smooth under a thin T-shirt. There is a contour change visible where the side sling ends.
* Not visible under a V-neck.
* Visible in armholes of sleeveless shirt.

Comfort & Fit Summary
* Band too big. Cups too narrow and projected.
* Try a 30F - down one band and one cup size. (Will review separately.)
* Band is so big that trying a 28 band (two band sizes smaller) isn't crazy, but this style is only made in 28G, 28H, and 28I. Based off the fit of this 32F, the cups of a 28G will probably be too big.

Beautiful bra & made very well. A very different look - unlined, sheer, soft cups with full coverage (sort of opposite of the modern padded push-up bra). This bra is actually very supportive, because it has a sheer lining in only half the cup that works like a vertical seam. So it gives a pretty shape & lifts well with no padding or seams.

The cups are slightly too large for me on top, wrinkling a bit. This bra is made for a very round breasts that are full on top. I regret not sizing down as reviewers suggested, but then again, the wires & cup depth through the ... bottom & middle of the bra fit well. I think it's just not made for my breast shape (fuller on the bottom). I wear this size in Gossard otherwise.

I'm keeping it because if I have even the slightest weight fluctuation (ie. period), then it fits very well. I can do "the scoop", stand up very straight, and tighten the straps a bit too tight to get rid of the wrinkles also....since the bra is TOTALLY SHEER, it's not like I wear it under sheer or very fitted tops. It's actually not a good t-shirt bra because of that, but good for loose, opaque blouses, especially if you want to de-emphasize your breasts (no padding, lining, etc).

Oh, as a side, Gossard panties run big! Their small is like a medium in US sizes (ie. compare to VS or CK panties).

I think this bra fits better than most I have tried. It was too big in the cups at 32DD and I think a 32D is a hair too small as I get a mini amount of quad boob at the top. Band is good, no wires poking and decent support. Looks good under a knit tee. I have really thin bra inserts that I tested and they work great for use to under knit shirts to help with nipple coverage. I've only worn padded bras my whole life so I have to get used to unlined.

Well, boo. After trying this bra in 3 different sizes, I think I have to just accept that the shape doesn’t work for me. It seems like the projection is in the upper middle of the cup, when I need it in the bottom half. FWIW: The cups are quite tall.

- 30F (what I wear in Ewa Michalak BM): band fit, cups laughably large
- 32DD (what I wear in Panache Cari): band too large, cups fit at bottom but too voluminous up top
- 30DD: band fits, cups overall too small

I suppose I could try 30E, but I’m feeling like it’s probably not worth it. Too bad, because I love the triangle shape.

Tried this in a 30E and cups were too big and band a bit tight so I am trying in a 32DD. Band is good but cups wrinkle a tad. I noticed on the label it says the DD+ cups have the extra sling on the sides and I either don't want them or I'd rather the whole cup be double lined. Since the DD is slightly big I will try a 32D. This bras cups run big to me since I started my journey with 32D bras and all were too small.

Surprisingly this wasn't too bad. I'm used to wearing only padded T-shirt bras and I wasn't sure how an unlined mesh bra would feel. Band is a tad too tight and the cups a bit big. Will try a 32D to compare to this 30E. Also doesn't give me center spillage so it t works for close set and center full.
