Is it Fantasie bras that everyone on here loves?

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!

I adore Fantasie bras, wouldn't wear anything else. Now I know they suit me I get them from eBay sellers at under 20 quid each, just bought three nude coloured styles, an elodie, Mariette and a lily

I had a look at 'elodie' on ebay too, but choice not good in my size. Worth checking back though. Smile

i have to say I bought a new Fantasie bra the other week and he straps are not as wide as my other Fantasie straps i feel.

You've just reminded me I love Fantasie bras LaTrucha, thanks! I had 3 of their Allure tshirt bras which were amazing, but since they sold out in my size I'd forgotten to have a look for similar ones...

I know many people love Fantasie but tbh I find them very matronly and they just don't seem to give me a good shape or enough lift (I like the cakes on a plate look!). I don't get on with Freya either though.

Currently liking Cleo Juna & Cleo Meg, Panache Idina, Ewa Michalak CHP and CH styles, Masquerade Delphi and the Fauve half cups.

I ordered some of those and they weren't for me. I like the side support on the Elodie - I don't think I've really had that before but maybe it's just a new thing I am noticing. Will hve a look at the others.

They're all balconettes or half cup styles as unjust can't get on with plunge or full cups.

I've tried the Elodie but it just didn't give me the lift or shape I like. We're all different though and I know the Elodie is v popular.
