Fantasie Fan
Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2014
I am a huge fan of Fantasie bras. Having large, heavy, natural breasts I require a bra that provides a lot of support. Although I like most Fantasie bras, the 4510 is my favorite. I have been wearing the 4510 for about 10 years. It provides the support and uplift that I need. I have tried MANY other full-figure bras claiming outstanding support, but none have equalled the 4510. Some ordering advice -- do not order a band size smaller assuming it will stretch out and fit "just right." The 4510 band does not stretch out. What you order is what you get, and what you will have for a very long time. Also make sure you measure yourself accurately. I usually order one band size larger than my actual band measurement to allow for the lack of "stretch out." With proper care, this bra lasts for years. I've had a couple of mine for 5 years and they are still doing the job. The 4510 is a little pricey, but you will get your money's worth.
Horrible, cheap

Horrible, cheap, scratchy material in the beige color... even if it had fit I would still have returned it. I can't believe they're selling a bra for this much with such obviously poor quality fabric.Additionally, the cups run very large - I am an FF and the F (accidental order on my part) was still much too big. For those of you reading this wondering if this bra would fit you - I am a 32FF with medium density tissue, bottom-heavy, wider set breasts, and my best fitting bra is a Freya Deco. The straps on this bra are also too far apart for me.

I am a 32DDD (or 32E) and wanted to try this as I have somewhat "heavy" breasts and wanted the shaping. First I was disappointed that even at a DDD size it only has two hooks, what were they thinking? I know the band is supposed to do most of the "lifting" and how can it with such a narrow two hook strap? I felt like it was digging in and so terribly uncomfortable. Second, it's really just a "shelf" for them to rest on and there is just so much "jiggle" in the top. As a 50 year old that is really not a pretty sight, maybe if I was 20. Lastly, the straps are so far over to the sides that they dug in to my shoulders and slipped down. The only reason for 2 stars is I actually liked the shape it created. Unfortunately I would only be able to wear it if I did not walk, move around, or do anything to cause the straps to fall and my whole chest to bounce painfully. returning it.
This is not the right bra
Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2018
I've been purchasing Fantasie bra's for 10 years and I usually get them in a local shop or on Amazon. I went to get a new one and the one that came is NOT the correct one. Anyone who has bought the T-shirt bra would know this is not the right one. I trusted it because it said "amazon's choice" but this is the wrong bra. It is thin and the cup is not right. The tag says fantasie but it is a knock off. BUYER BEWARE
True to size and description

I was a 32ddd by the time I started high school, and i'm currently wearing a 32f uk/32g us, so I have been properly sized and fitted many times and know how a bra should fit. This bra fits very well and seems to run true to size. Either measure yourself or get measured because if you buy your VS size, you're buying the wrong size. They always try to sell me 34ddd but I know better. The cup may be the right size but the band will slide up my back and offer 0 support. A properly fitting bra will change your life.I was worried about the straps being too wide set and thin because I do have narrow shoulders and i'm used to wacoal bras which have wide padded straps set closer together, but I wanted a tshirt bra with some lining to avoid headlight situations so I tried this bra out. I've been wearing this bra for a week and haven't had a single strap slipping issue. The straps are thin but after a few days of wear they don't feel like they dig in at all. I really do forget that i'm wearing this bra, which when you have big boobs is a big deal. I definitely can't say this about every bra I own. Not even close.The band has no stretch at all, which is definitely something to consider. I measure at 31.5 inches around and bought a 32 band, which fits on the loosest hook just like it should. That way as the bra get's older and stretches a bit I can move to a tighter hook and still have a proper fit. But I'm not sure how much this band will actually stretch, so if I get any bigger around i'll have to use an extender or size up in the band.Lastly, the shape. Others reviewers have called it the Madonna shape, which it definitely isn't, but it doesn't give you a perfectly round shape either. It pushes everything away from the armpits, which I love, and projects the breast forward. It's not minimizing at all. Honestly I think it's a personal preference issue, I really like the shape it gives under tshirts. I also really appreciate the molded cups because my breasts were left a bit soft and saggy after I finished breastfeeding my baby, so I needed something to force them back into an actual shape. This does the job in the way an unmolded bra would not. Also the wires lay flat against my ribcage and don't lay on the breast tissue at all.I only gave it 4 stars because the molded cups are their shape no matter which way I move. For the most part this is great. But there have been a couple times that this has left me with a touch of gaping at the top of the cups. It's never been problematic and I think it's just a side effect of the molded cups.

Absolutely love this bra, fits perfectly and extremely comfortable to wear, no rubbing or annoying straps. Wonderful to wear with a tee shirt, as so very smooth ensuring maximum comfort. Excellent value for price, so happy with this item, I have bought quite a few more. Retains shape after washing.

Arrived very quickly and beautifully wrapped. The bra fits perfectly and is so comfortable (and it doesn't have the sagging sides most bra's have). It's the only one I want to wear now. I would use this seller again.
