Is it Fantasie bras that everyone on here loves?

[LaTrucha]

I need a new bra but can't get to the shops so I'm going to order a few from John Lewis, and most of the ones I like seem to be Fantasie ones.

What is there sizing like? I did order one before but it gave me very pointy breasts. Are they all like that? It did fit ok but the shape was odd.

I wear a 32E in Triumph Amourette but don't want another one of those as I don't think it gives very good shape. I usually wear a balcony style bra.

Thanks for any suggestions!

It totally depends on the shape of your breasts as to which bras will work well for you. Personally I don't love Fantasie on me - I get on better with Bravissimo own brand.

I would say the sizing is fairly normal, maybe slightly on the larger side but nothing remarkable.

It' so frustrating not being able to go to a shop!

Do you know what sort of shape your breasts are? It might be worth ordering a selection to try and work out what suits you best - does it have to be a John Lewis order as you could probably get a wider range elsewhere.

Only because I want to order something else from there.

I wouldn't have the first clue how to describe the shape of my breasts.
They tend to suit a balcony style. Any help?

I used to love fantasie t shirt bras. Bit can't wear them any more as I lost weight and am A back size 28 and they start at 30.

Have a look here

The panache Idina seems to be pretty well regarded as is the Cleo Juna. I also like the Betsy Bow and the Alana, and it might also be worth trying Meg/Zia which are fairly similar to each other. The other one to consider would be the Boudoir Beau.

Reason I suggest these ones is it covers a few different cuts/shapes - they absolutely won't all suit you but hopefully one of them will!

Latrucha I usually wear the triumph Amourette, but wanted to get a better shape. I spent hours in John Lewis this weekend eventually got a bra which fits really well.

It's another triumph and its the 'soft cup with stretch'. I'm a 32 DD and it gives a lovely rounded kind of shape and a good bit of lift. It's incredibly comfy too.

I do gt fed up though as I want some 'pretty' bras but the only ones which seem to fit are pretty boring.

Is it this one?

Will look at Bravissimo. Thanks.

fantasie elodie is my most comfy bra by far. am a 32e too.

this is my favourite ever t-shirt bra

In the nude shade, it disappears under any colour or weight of fabric. It gives a lovely rounded smooth shape too, not at all pointy.

I love fantasie bras and own quite lotsa few. Try HOF as i think there may be a promotion on them

I'm a 32E too, and really like the Fantasie balcony ones.

Boux avenue's leyla bra gives a great shape. I love the 50s style high waisted knickers that go with it too. They do a matching thong if that's more your thing.

I mean Lyla.

I find Fantasie make me look extremely matronly.

Yes, it's that one LaTrucha

I've just seen they don't have it in your size, sorry.

Thye may have it on other websites though.

I have a fantasie bra that's the best fit I've ever had and dead comfy and another, similar but subtly different one that I just don't get on with at all. They're nicely made, though - no rough seams and the fabric's nice and soft and not too sweaty - I have very sensitive skin.

Will be back after I've put the kids to bed!

I really like the Panache Tango bra and find it gives good shape.

Gosh I've just ordered loads from JL nd Bravissimo. I know lots will go back,but ...Gulp Thanks fo ryour help!

The winner was the Fantasie Elodie, if anyone is interested!

Great choice

As a rule, Fantasie bras are generous in the cup. I would regard your bra size as being at least cup bigger i.e. a 32F when shopping in other brands, possibly FF in Bravissimo own brands like Alana.

I find the Fantasie Nicola a great fit, and a more delicate fabric. I wear it in the same size as my Elodie.

Marian Wacoal owns Fantasie, Freya and a whole load of other Eveden brands. Each brand has a different target market.

Thanks for that. 32F? Good to know! The cup does have a bit of a wrinkle on one side but the rest is good.

This bra blog will help with that
