"The cups run large on this style. I would suggest going down a cup size - 38DD to a 38D. Also, this is a great bra for women with strap slippage issues due to sloping shoulders."

LOVE this bra! I have owned three of these bras and I will never try a different bra ever again. I usually wear a DDD in other bras, but I can wear a DD in this one. The fabric is smooth and clothes glide over the fabric. I never have to worry about spill over on top or the sides and the underwire actually CUSHIONED! I regretfully bought a cheaper bra instead of purchasing this one again ($50 is hard on my budget) and I can't believe how uncomfortable the underwire feels. I get red and sore under my breasts but not with the Fantasie 4500, it's just about perfect! The only reason I take a mark off is that I can't get more than a year out my bra. I might just be picky, but I would like it to last a little longer. I get the most wear and tear around the closure where my finger hooks into the fabric to pull the back together, and my most recent bra had the underwire break through the fabric at the very point in between the breasts. Other than that, I'm in love!

I tried this bra because I was looking for a bra with the straps located in the center of the cup. However, the fit was very poor on me. The band fit best on the tightest hook but was not comfortable, I have a boney ribcage and the band irritates my ribs, the back rode up and the cups gave me a "teardrop" shape. All this indicates the band is too big and the cups too small but according to the measuring charts (26" + 4) I'm a 30 band, so it should have fit. However, I discovered that a 28 band, or in the case of this bra a 26 band, with a larger cup size is a much better fit. Since this bra only comes in a 30 band I returned it.
Vendor Response:
The 4500 cup runs very full. You are correct, if the band was riding up the back and you hooked it on the tightest hook you need to go down in the band to a 28DD.

Very good quality bra. No seams which is nice. I really like the coverage it provides. I would recommend this bra.

Okay...I hit the bullseye! After ordering and trying on and returning SO many bras, I finally have the one I want to live in every day! Yes, it is true.
I reviewed this earlier this month that even though I had the wrong size, I didn't want to take the bra off and return it. I also mentioned the bra didn't come in a cup size larger (40 G) which I expected to be the size I should have.
However, because I loved the feel and shaping of the bra SO much, I took a gamble on trying it in 38G (smaller band size, larger cup size...the latter of which I knew I needed). Bingo! I even tried it on with shirts (button down and pullover) that didn't fit properly or look right before and the shirts look so much better on me. My breasts aren't pointy, they are separated but don't look like they are on opposite poles of the universe, and the bra has a smooth but firm cup so that my breasts look good in a tshirt or a button-down shirt. Not overpowering, not like bomber cylinders, but a part of my body that blends with my body (despite such large ones being on a somewhat petite build...I'm 5'4)
I know everyone's body is different, but I really recommend this bra. Try this one first! :-)

This bra is listed under t-shirt bra category and it is absolutely NOT a T-shirt bra as the fabric used for the cups of the bra are not thick enough to keep the nipples from showing through your shirt, which is the whole idea behind a t-shirt bra! I'm sure this is a great bra, but it should not be included in this category. If you're looking for a T-shirt bra, the 4510 is great!
Fantasie Response:
You are right! The 4510 is a great smooth style with a contour cup. The 4500 is unlined and gives less modesty.

True to size. The bra fit very well and looks smooth under clothing, but I thought it was a little still and scratchy. Not uncomfortable, just not the best fabric.
Sara, Woodbridge, Age: 40'sSeptember, 2011, Petite (5'3" and under) Size: 30DD
Love this bra! It fits well and looks really great under any type of fabric (T-shirt and otherwise). It has a nice smooth shape and the under-wire is exactly where it should be. I highly recommend this bra. I also recommend looking at the Fantasie sizing chart before ordering as their cup sizes are slightly different than some brands. Ex: I found I needed to order FF rather than G.
