I bought this one lightly used at the same time as the turquoise one in the same size. This one fits tighter in the band as well as larger in the cup - more like a 32GG - which means that my cups overfloweth. The band isn't stretchy but it's solid.
It is absolutely gorgeous, although the straps are curiously wide. They're all ribbony and pretty, but they are wider than I've seen on anything but a Freya.
The cups/wing area comes up a bit higher than my other EM's, which makes it not quite as comfy after 10-12 hours as my others but it's not cutting off my arms.
I will be extra cautious about my jewelry and using the fine-mesh lingerie bag in the wash because the lacey green overlay fabric is begging to be snagged.
The shape is up-front & round, but almost minimized. It's nice, but I do prefer the lift & projection of the CHP style.

The band on this one is VERY stretchy AND runs large; I'd say it fits like UK 34/36GG. It's prettier in person, particularly with the matching thong, which is super cute and comfy.
Update: I didn't wear this one much but the elastic in the mesh wings absolutely disintegrated. The mesh was always going to be the weak point on this bra because it was a much lower quality than the rest of the materials; something to be aware of if you are looking at one. Comexim doesn't usually fail in this area.

Fits like a UK 36J/K. Beautiful and unusual color combo. Lovely materials and construction.
I think it would look fab if it fit.

The band is 1 too large and the cup 1 too small for me. I like the cut; it's VERY open on top like a half cup. I think it would be lovely on the right size. The color is a yellow leaning ivory with a subtle tonal wavy line pattern to the fabric.

I love the print on this set so much that I bought it not having any idea what size I really was. This was my very first purchase coming from a decade of Cacique's 38DDD Smooth Balconette (a great bra, but it probably was never an actual fit). I had no experience with UK sizing and no concept of a cup size above DDD (even though I was probably a 34J at the time).
So the review that follows has nothing to do with "true to size" because I was in no position to judge that. If I had to guess, I'd say it was true ... to size because I promptly had the band altered be because it was waaayy too big. Then I put darts in the cups in an attempt to bring the cups in because the band was still too big. It made it wearable but I've since purchased a replacement in a more appropriate size.
The fabric is lovely, the style is adorable, it's fully lined, the cups are 2-part with vertical seams, quality is excellent and it's very comfy.
The gore is low, but it's not so plunge-y that the girls would fall out (if it fit). The straps are fully adjustable. The wires & wings aren't too high, but there are plastic stays stitched in for extra support on the wings.
The briefs are equally fab with reasonable coverage front & back.
Every girl should have one.

I understood that this bra was essentially a seasonal variety of the Deco, so fit should be similar. It sooo isn't. It's cute, and the shape is almost identical, but the size is very different.
Compared to a beige & a black Deco in 32GG, this one has a tighter band (which is great) and much smaller cups (which isn't). This fits like a firm 34G/loose 32GG in a non-Deco style.
The cups are cut a little lower and further apart, so I get empty space by the straps and tons of quadraboob in the middle. I bet this would be a good bra for someone reigning in some migration under the arms.

Other than the color and weird sizing, it's solid Deco:
Straps are pretty far apart & upper/outside of cups comes awfully high. Maybe a taller girl would be more comfortable.
Band is 2 hook.
Shape, lift, support, comfort & quality all fine.

Good heavens, this is a beautiful bra. Elegant, detailed, expensive & looks it.
It was my first sheer bra, and my first G cup - EVER. I'd gambled on a couple different styles of Fauve 36FF's on eBay, so I knew they were gorgeous, but those were too big band/too small cup so I bumped down/up to this sister size. This G fits larger than the Panache Andorra 34GG, for reference. The band is pretty similar, although with much less dictatorial wires.
Pros: Looks (without clothes). Great fit/comfort. Adequate lift (not a va-va-voom at all, but picks the girls up). Great support.
Cons: ... Not so practical under some clothing - seams, lace, seams with lace, you get the picture. Also, I can't find the matching thongs https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
It is allegedly a plunge, but I don't find it plungey. I find it more "lightly" full coverage.

Final update: I lost weight (and the band may have stretched a little) so I'm sending it on to Synchrolover . It wore beautifully, although it lost a bead from the bow on the gore at some point. I'd love to have another in my current size.

Love the bright pink, but I guessed wrong on the size. I found the 32h too tight and too large so I should have tried a 34G. I actually think I need to size down to an FF. The 34 band is OK on the 2nd set of hooks if it doesn't stretch but I could probably also wear a 32G.

Such a pretty bra, but it's the wrong shape for mehttps://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
It is too shallow at the bottom and cuts in on top. Sizing up would just result in more east/west than it already gives me, and probably some wrinkling at the apex. My boobs are pretty round and these cups . . . aren't.
The band is great at my current level of fluffiness, so I'd say it leans on the longer/less firm side.
The fit is very similar to the red Vivienne although there seems to be a little more overall volume in these cups.
Like every other Fantasie bra I've had, it seems beautifully made and it is remarkably smooth under clothing.

A touch more firm in the band than the Deco. Stinking cute. Never worn because I lost weight but I am rating it based on my Deco experience in multiple sizes/colors.
It's such a great basic, but with a twist. Now that I have found Ewa Michalak and Comexim, I find the wires too wide and the cups too tall. However, I am very narrow rooted, short and round/full on top.
