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

Gobblers I am wearing a Jessica right now.

I have Jolie in purple and I find it to be not quite as supportive as the others.

GobblersKnob · 21/06/2012 10:52

Oooh I like the Empreinte Melody a lot.

I have tried the Jolie in a 30G which is what I am really in Freya and it made my boobs a very odd shape and looked quite saggy, however in a cup size too small it is great, with only the tiniest bit of quadraboob on one sideGrin It is probably my comfiest bra along with the Kris Line ones.

If you can see past the (actual) porn star bra models the Kris Line bras are beyond amazing and I would highly recomend. They are a feat of engineering and make my boobs an entirely different shape plus are unbelievably comfortable.

It's those crystal shorts that are uber uncomfy (on me). I have two Crystal bras and one black Deco - I NEED another!

Gobblers unfortunately you are more my bf-ing size. Now I've shrunk down to a 30DD

Hmmm might give Kris Line a go, the model pics are interesting, aren't they? I'll try one next time they come up cheap on brastop.

Wrote a long post earlier but the goblins ate it Hmm

Jolie always came up big in both band and cup- sadly another one that's been discontinued.

Empreinte sizing is wildly out- I'm usually a 32FF but the Melody fits Me in a 30F.

If your boobs have lost volume after bf then I can recommend the Juna. The shape and lift is great and you won't slip out at the front like you might in a plunge. It's brought a relieved smile to many faces in recent months Smile

Oooh thanks Married I will seek it out

HazleNutt · 21/06/2012 21:41

I haven't considered KrisLine because of the models either, but you say it's good? What about sizing, similar to Freya?

GobblersKnob · 22/06/2012 10:07

HazleNutt, the models put me off for ages, but I kept on hearing good things about them.

The sizing is a little hit and miss, the Lydia I have in my correct size (30G) and it fits perfectly, the Violette I have in a 32FF but really should be a 32G, so that one comes up small in both the cups and back.

Generally they are very firm in the band and lots of people suggest going up a back size. I would suggest getting several around your size in whatever style you fancy from Brastop and finding what fits. If you can get it right it is well worth it, they are brilliant imo.

I love Fantasie and Freya bras too. I always go back to them and they are pretty easy to find now with online shopping. I normally go to either www.bravissimo.com/ or www.clara-olivia.com/ I find bravissimo are good because they have shops around the country if you would prefer to try on first but I also like clara olivia because they have good deals and fast delivery on most items and loads of choice. Would recommend either to be honest. Swimwear is good too. Not looked back since I bought my first Freya bikini about 5 years ago. Boobs actually stay in place without me having to tuck them in every 5 mins ha ha X

Just received my first decent bras! I took the advice of SusieSusie and I now have much smaller looking boobs as the bras actually fit! I've gone with a couple of Fantasie t shirt bras in black and nude and treated myself to the Fantasie Elodie bra in white and briefs to match (really classy). I might also try some Freya bras (when money allows) as the Rio seems to have good feedback and the Arabella looks gorgeous. I got mine at www.clara-olivia.com they currently have a voucher code on the home page of the website for 10% off. Might be able to get some decent swimwear now too!
