Fantasie Fusion Underwired Full Cup Side Support Bra - Blackberry - 10GG

I have come to this bra via Helena (good) , Alex(good) and Illusion (not for me).This bra appears rather lightweight compared to the others but it actually offers excellent support and a good shape. Though not a T-shirt bra, it is fairly unobtrusive under thin fabrics. I never hand wash them, I use a short delicate programme, but I find Fantasie bras last well and are excellent value for money. I hope this bra will be available for some years to come.I did find that the nude colours looked rather pale online, and my purchases were darker than I expected from the pictures. There was no problem with returning the shade that was too dark though.

Comfortable, well fitting bra

This Fantasie bra is a perfect fit! great high quality with a full cup fit for the best support and really pretty too, It was so perfect I bought two! I will buy more in the future maybe buy two this time in white.The Lady serving me helped me with the size and quantity resulting in two sales. Thank you for my great product and the great service every time I shop there. I love this store more than anywhere!I will keep supporting the Norwich store for what I need.

Excellent bra, well fitting and very comfortable

This is the second bra in this style I have bought - I actually wore the first one out (never happened before) after it became my go to bra and over several years I wore it a lot. I have the beige colour (nude) - it doesn't show under clothes, the straps don't slide off, and it feels weightless and so comfy you could wear it for 24 hours and not notice! It's not a va va voom bra, it's an every day bra which gives great shape and support, with no double boob drama. I'm a 32E and it fits so well. I have the matching knickers too, which are excellent (no wedgies thank you!), they don't ride up and are also invisible under clothes - no idea why JL doesn't sell them in the beige colour. I will buy this bra in other colours, it really is superb, the most comfy of all the ... MoreThis is the second bra in this style I have bought - I actually wore the first one out (never happened before) after it became my go to bra and over several years I wore it a lot.

Extremely comfortable, well fitting bra

I need an E cup and bras can be difficult to find. I tried this one in store and was so impressed with the fit and comfort that I bought two. The bra is easy to adjust and after a quick change in the straps length, it immediately felt right. It gives a good shape under clothes too.I would like to see larger cup sizes in more imaginative colours however (I bought nude and white, also available in black in store) and that's why I only gave four stars.

Fantasie is Fantastic!

I have found this Fantasie Fusion bra to be the most comfortable and true to my size bra out of all my bras and any Fantasie bra owned. The band lays flat on my chest. The cups are sufficient, straps are wide but not too wide and do not dig (if your fit is not good, I encourage you to have Nordstrom size you). I can wear this bra all day without issue. I loved it so much I recently purchased an additional one. So if Fantasie has worked for you in the past, this bra should be a great choice. If you are new to Fantasie I encourage you to get professionally sized and once you know your size in Fantasie, I think this bra is an excellent choice.

Great bra! Doesn't work for me though

This bra is absolutely beautiful. The pictures don't do it justice. The band is narrower, so its great for people with average to narrow breast roots, and the gore isn't too tall. I originally got this bra in a 30F, which I thought fit great—but then I began spilling out of the sides and top. I realized I hadn't scooped and swooped properly and it didn't fit. I ordered it again in a 30FF, but once I tried it on, I realized the problem was actually a shape mismatch. The cups are a bit too shallow for someone with large projection—the band fit, but my boobs didn't sit in the cups, they kept falling out the top. I had a lot of room at the bottom of the cup yet was spilling out top. Bummer.So if you have a lot of projection like me (8 inch difference from band to ... MoreThis bra is absolutely beautiful.

Great support, horrible fabric

I first off have to say the positive, this bra/brand has better size ranges than most, so kudos. It has amazing support and overall lift I get is incredible. I’d love this bra if a couple things didn’t just tank how I feel. It feels AWFUL. It is so incredibly scratchy. I tried it on in store thinking it was great and that I’d get over the slightly itchy feeling. Nope. I wore it for an hour at home the next day and oh boy. My nips, under arms and shoulders itched so bad. It sucks, I wanted this to work. I do want something unlined that looks good under a thin tee and this isn’t it anyway so back to the drawing board I guess. At a 34/36 I/J cup it’s rough out there. Every single bra has wire that comes up under my pits, or is itchy, or doesn’t look smooth under ... MoreI first off have to say the positive, this bra/brand has better size ranges than most, so kudos.

Every single bra has wire that comes up under my pits, or is itchy, or doesn’t look smooth under shirts. I don’t want any sort of lining or padding, because I don’t mind nipples showing, I think it’s hot, and I most definitely do not need any extra adage to my size. Bummed!!!! If you don’t care about how this looks under clothing and you don’t have sensitive skin absolutely go for this.

Magical bra for women who need serious support!

I'm 53 and I've been a DD-DDD since senior year high school. Needless to say I've had MANY bra fittings at Nordstrom as the years have gone by and my body has changed. I decided on my recent trip it was time for another and this was my first fitting at the Keystone Mall Nordstrom in Indy. We moved to Indiana a bit ago and I was in the need for new bras. I met Danielle and she agreed to measure and fit me. I'm not kidding....the BEST fitting I've ever had. She measured....went and grabbed 1 bra and this was it. I am a lift and support girl. I hate the uni-boob sports bras. I need some serious support. This was the one and only bra she put on me and it fit PERFECTLY!!! I am not a stranger to paying $$$ for good support. I've worn all the brands over the years and this ... MoreI'm 53 and I've been a DD-DDD since senior year high school.

I've worn all the brands over the years and this one is MAGIC!!! And it was definitely not the most expensive bra I've ever bought. Danielle got my details and she got a new faithful customer!! For reference I went in wearing a 32DDD and left wearing a 30G. I long ago stopped caring about my size. I'm short and petite so I need support so I look good in my clothes. This bra exceeded my expectations!

No fuss bra

Returning to wired after wearing non wired for a while. This is a light well fitting bra which is good under everything I have worn, and gives good separation which avoids the Scatter cushion effect of the padded t shirt bras I initially bought, which were a mistake as I found that they squash everything together just as much as a non wired bra. The fusion is supportive and comfortable enough for all day wear, and the straps are not too thick so they do look ok if they become visible. The wires also seem to be lower than most bras, which is good if you are short. I have fusion in three colours, and the fit does vary a bit between them

Promising

OK so I've been wearing 34GG forever, in Tango, and more lately, Lacey and Mabel. I was wearing a Lacey doing yoga (I know, I know!) which usually isn't an issue but that time, lying on my back, the wires dug in very painfully and continued doing so all evening. Took it off in the end.So I thought I'd go to the Oxford Circus branch and get fitted.32H she said and brought me this Fantasie bra. It fits lovely, great shape and wasn't too tight whilst I was standing up straight. Later in the evening, slumping on the sofa (don't judge me, I know you do the same!), I had to take the bra off it was that tight and uncomfortable. Now I know why some women feel they must remove their bra as soon as they get home. Never happened to me before (apart from the yoga thing).I ... MoreOK so I've been wearing 34GG forever, in Tango, and more lately, Lacey and Mabel.

Never happened to me before (apart from the yoga thing).I bought some of those bra extension thingies and that sorted it. I then bought this style in my usual size, 34GG and guess what - it's perfect. Sorry Oxford Circus branch, your assistants do like to put women in very tight bras, my daughter said the same.I'm sticking with 34GG. And I have the Nova bra for yoga from now on!BTW, I am impressed at the range of colours including several shades of 'nude'. Very inclusive. Well done!
