Fantasie/Freya bra fans-lets talk about bras!

[Itsgottabebags]

I can't stop buying pretty Fantasie bras. What are your favourite styles etc?
is this a weird fandom?

This may not be a thing of beauty but it's the best bra I've bought in ages - comfortable, smooth under clothes and gives a bit of a lift. I love the way they have positioned the straps so they don't show under vests.Perfect

I LOVE Freya and Fantasie. At 34GG they are IME simply the best bras out there. I currently have safely stashed away a Lacey and a Lily with loads of matching knickers in the vague hope that I will return to normal after pregnancy & BFing.

Ooh that looks nice. What are the good things about moulded bras?

this is my favourite: www.figleaves.com/uk/product/FE-FL2024-REB/Fantasie-Rebecca-Underwired-Moulded-Bra/?size=&colour=Nude

Moulded, but the foam is very light and soft, hope they do it in more colours soon.

Esme is not "moulded" in the same way as Rebecca is - not sure why they have described it as such - just seems like a traditional bra to me. Moulded bras are good for hiding prominent nips!

I only ever buy Fantasie bras - they're the only brand that fit. My boobs would be round my knees if it weren't for Fantasie! I really like the Freya styles, but they don't fit the same IME. Are they the same company? The Freya designs are lovely, but the fit doesn't work for me.

If you ever venture along the A14 Northamptonshire you should pop into their factory shop (Fantasie, Freya & Rigby & Pellor, afair). A bit hit and miss but can save a fortune.

I think Fantasie are more 'sturdy', I have some Freya ones but tend to wear them on nights out - they aren't so comfortable for daywear.

Just about to order another Fantasie.

have just bought 2 Freya Rio bras to replace the 3 I bought about 3 years ago. They really do give you the best shape. I love Freya and Fantasie, as do my larger norked friends!

now cece I always thought that Freya were the more sensible, and Fantasie more frivolous!

YY Fantasie more comfy than Freya for me. I just wishe that Fantasie used some of the fabrics Freya did. They had a lovely bird print that I would have bought on the spot if it was Fantasie.

John Lewis BTW goes in to sale On Thursday bra fans or so the SA told me today!

Fantasie

Freya

And Leia have some on sale now!

I get your drift cece that Fantasie one is scary it actually made me jump!

Cece I got the Arabella in a BOGOF at Debenhams a few weeks ago!

Tons of both are currently on sale in Debenhams.

Don't say that Jardin, I've got that one..... I don't look that imposing in it though!

I am bra tart, I counted up yesterday when I did a wash and I have 18

I love Freya but don't have any Fantasie, they look a bit more 'matronly' somehow. I also wear a lot of Curvy Kate.

Freya are aimed at the younger market, Fantasie are for slightly more saggy mature boobs and tend to be a firmer and fuller fit. With the exception of the Deco t shirt bra, Freya bras tend to wrinkle in the cups where the top of my boobs are not as full anymore. Fantasie fit me much better, with the exception of the full cups versions of Belle and Helena- hideous!

Someone mentioned the Eveden factory upthread. They don't make bras for R&P anymore but they have their own luxury brand- Fauve.

Funnys- stock up while you can; Rio has been discontinued.

married nooooooo. I love that bra!

beachy She has a scary cleavage

I love my freya deco for a smooth tshirt bra and v plunging yet hold wobbly boobs in place . The strapless is rubbish though. (Im a 32G and went for a Wonderbra)

I love Fantasie and Freya - at a 32FF they're great for me. I have found however that if you find the right place to be fitted then they can work miracles with you! I now only buy bras from a little independant place where the women just look at you and know in some mystical way what size you need and then will take time adjusting straps etc to make sure the fit is right.

Funnys with the exception of 2 women out of hundreds, they make everyone look saggy and as if their boobs point in opposite directions! Please tell me you are less than an E cup or look like a supermodel? If not, ditch it!
