Fantasie Serene Underwire Full Cup Bra fl2231 Reviews

This would've been a great bra, but the idiot designer only gave it 2 hooks. Someone my size definitely needs 3 or 4 for comfort and support. The front is so well designed. :( What a shame the back isn't! (I tried this on at the request of an professional bra fitter, so I know that the sizing is correct.)

Fantasie Response: Sorry this bra did not work for you. If a bra has more hooks in the back that does not mean that it is more supportive. The support comes from the design of the bra and the tightness of the band. There are a lot of bras out there with 4 hooks that do not give proper support. The seams and construction of a great bra are what lifts the breasts. Katrina from Greenville, SC

Comfortable although hot in summer. Cup shape very protuberant although looks OK under clothes.

Fantasie Response: This is a comfortable bra and gives lots of lift and projection! !The under-seam gives lots of lift to the breast tissue! Hanna from Brooklyn

I really wanted to like this bra but it just doesn't fit me very well. The cups sag a little bit on me - I tried a 32HH and a 30 HH. The band on the 30 fit great, but the cups were too small. I am going to return it. Portia from Ames

I love HerRoom products. I love all the facts that helped me select the correct size dependent on manufacturer. I feel better and look better. Thank you Her Room.. Kat from Albuquerque

Like the bra, I didn't get it 5 stars because I cannot wear the bra all day. It's not the most comfy bra to wear but that's obvious because it is an underwire. I would give this bra a try if you are considering it. Bridgette from New York

I have never purchased the same style of bra except for this one. It is comfortable, not too expensive, gives you a wonderful shape and the support is fantastic for my 34G bust. Submitted from TheUndies.com

Cups were larger than expected. A little scratchy too, though it may have softened up once washed. Sent it back.

Fantasie Response: The Savannah by Fantasie 2152 would be a better choice for you if you want less fullness. This plunge bra gives great support yet it is lower in the center gore and feels less full. Kristin from Goldsboro, NC, USA

I loved the fit, look and comfort of this bra, but had to return it. I couldn't get past seams showing thru all my clothes. Living in Phoenix, most tops are of a light weight material and the seams show thru. Perhaps this would be best for those in a colder climate where you have to wear heavier weight tops and sweaters.

Nothing about this bra worked for me. I was popping out of the top. It appeared that the cup size I ordered was too small, or perhaps it was simply that this type of bra isn't cut out for someone with my shape.

Fantasie Response: Judging by what you say, it seems the cups are too small for you. Jacqueline from United States

I actually love the look of this bra, but after wearing it for just short amount of time I began to feel uncomfortable and then it became unbearable to wear, leaving welts across my back where the band hooks connect. just for the record I did wash the garment before wearing. Two days later I still have red irritated marks.

Fantasie Response: Nancy, the band should feel like a “snug hug”. Snug not tight. It sounds as if the band is just too tight for you. Perhaps try going up a band size. Nancy from Hartland

WOW what a great bra! I'm new to this line and they fit so well, have such great side support, and even at the 36F cup side, look so gorgeous!!! I"m sold on Fantasie!! Susanne

This bra is fantastic! Having small shoulders and rib cage but being endowed can create some issues when trying to find a bra that fits well. Fanatsie bras work well for my shape, I had to go down a band size (up a cup size to compensate for the change). This bra gives a wonderful shape and brilliant support, it is very comfortable and a great for me - I have breastfed two babies so the boobs are no longer 'perky' but this bra holds 'em up, giving them back their 'perk'. Great under loser fabrics and sweaters. MCR from Arlington, VA

This bra has a weird cup shape and the material is itchy. Having said that I also am still looking for the right bra and am finding fit a huge problem for me.

Fantasie Response: It’s hard to say for sure without actually seeing you in the bra itself. Most importantly, you have to make sure you’re in the correct size, as no bra will be comfortable in the wrong size. 32D is an extremely common size and it shouldn’t be so difficult to find a bra that fits and is comfy. Here are 3 steps to a fabulous fit:

1. The center front of the bra (the “gore”) should lie flat against the breastbone. This is called “tacking” and will help to support the breasts along with the band.

2. The under-wire should sit behind the breast tissue (and not on top of it) to ensure the breasts are fully supported. The under-wires should surround the entire breast, with the back end of the wire sitting behind the breast tissue, on bone.

3. The band should fit snugly around the body (like a good hug). It should be snug enough to stay parallel to the floor, and at the same level around the torso.

If these three things are happening, the bra fits, no matter the letter or the number. Fantasie has just launched a new style: Florence #2411. Florence is a flattering balcony shape, with luscious all-over black and gold lace, and it’s soft and comfy. The silhouette is subtle, round, and lifted. Erin from Lincoln, NE

Very comfortable. It is hard to find a truly full cup size with a smaller rib cage/frame size but this bra does fit. I will probably ordered more from this same manufacturer! P from Bridgeport, TX USA

I did not like the seam across the most sensitive area of the breast. Fit was nice and looked good under a t-shirt. Just the seam was the killer for me. Donna from Wheat Ridge Colorado USA

Fits well, the seams show through a little under shear tops or t-shirts. Marlene from Aptos, CA

Nice fitting and comfortable bra for everyday. I wish it gave a more up-front rounded shape, but that's my only complaint about this bra. Christine from San Diego, CA

The bra would have fit great when I first tried it on, if I had ordered the correct size. The problem is, I should have ordered a 30G instead of the 32G ... that was my error ... when I reorder it (as I'm already on the tightest hook, and there's a pinkie sized space between the bottom of my breast and the under wire) I'll order a 30G. It's very comfortable though. »V. from Springfield, MO

Not only is this bra really attractive and sexy, but it is also quite comfortable, secure, and strong. With large breasts, I was worried that this bra would not fit properly or would not support me. It definitely does both and is super cute on top of that! I will definitely buy this bra and brand again. Sarah from Atlant/GA/USA

This bra does not work for an older large cup size -- you just end up hanging down over the underwire. Not an attractive sight.

Fantasie Response: Unseen, it’s difficult to comment because there are so many “fit factors” involved. Not only style, and correct band and cup size, but how you position yourself into the bra: Breast tissue in front of the under wire, center gore tacking between the breasts, and the band tight enough not to ride up… For extreme lift and support, you may want to try our newest addition to the Fantasie family: Karina 2452. Karina is a gorgeous full-coverage bra with a side support panel, and center pull straps which are great if you have narrow shoulders. These features provide the ultimate in comfort and support.

This bra is fantastic! It is super comfy and supportive. I feel like I can jump around with out spilling all over the place and it really puts everything front and center. There is no spillage at all and no digging in the armpits. This bra is a winner! Liz from NY, NY

Great bra, terrific support and comfortable design. It puts the girls out front instead of spread out to the sides. Only change would be to not have elastic straps which is not good for proper lift. Would buy again. deb from longboat key, fl

Perhaps the world's most perfect bra! It has an amazing lift and the straps are comfortable from the very first time you put it on. It deserves every praise. Rosa from Brooklyn, NY

Even though my breasts don't fully fill the top of the cups, I feel fully supported and comfortable in this bra. I have only worn it for a day, but I am fully satisfied with my purchase. After several failed purchases, I have finally found another of Fantasie's bras that do the job for me, and do it well. Fantasie is the only brand I trust in this matter. Juli from Arizona
