This is THE BEST fitting Fantasie bra I've ever owned. Period. For example, Fantasie Elodie in same size looks awful on me, makes the girls point somewhat downwards. Karina gives you an amazing and very defined shape, great separation and support. Would order it again any time, wish there were more colors! Ekaterina from NJ

After many attempts and disappointments to find the right bra, I am so pleased with Fantasie. This bra is the most comfortable bra I have worn in years. It is light weight, has plenty of cup space for the girls. I feel supported but not smashed and the side support actually makes you look a bit thinner. I think the shape under a shirt is just fine, not too pointy. Unfortunately, I cannot give it 5 stars because I can only wear it with certain clothes. The bra fabric is bumpy and the seam across the middle of the breast show through any clothing that is fitted or lays flat across the chest. Since most of my clothes are fitted, I cannot wear this bra as much as I would like. Fantasie make another bra, the Rebecca, which I purchased for t-shirts and fitted tops. It is also comfortable, but not as much as the Karina. I would also wish that Fantasie would put 3 hooks per row for us larger girls. I believe it would add even more to the comfort and support LK from San Diego, CA

Hits high under the arms. The cups are not very full - might want to order a larger cup size. Still stiff even though I have hand washed it. Lace is bumpy under most tops. Definitely separates! Karen from PA

Poor fit, tight around the back, loose around the front.

Fantasie Response: Another great Fantasie style is the Fantasie Elodie Underwire With Side Support Bra FL2182 in 38 D2. This three section cup offers great support, is accented in beautiful Austrian embroidery and available in several color options. Molly from New York, NY, US

I did your survey and it said this would be a great fit for my profile. I found the cup size was small and it rubbed bad underneath. I had red marks at end of the day. Also I thought that The cups made my breasts pointy instead of natural looking. Klf from Peoria/IL/USA

I've been wearing Elomi Tamarie bras for some time and they are wonderful, but I decided to try this one after it was recommended by the "Know Your Breasts" survey and was pleasantly surprised! This bra seems to offer more side support than the Elomi, seperates fantastically, has a great shape, and it has a smooth look under my clothes despite being a multi-part bra. The straps feel a bit itchy but nothing terrible. I think this is my new favorite bra! Abby from Weatherford Texas, USA

Loved this bra! I only wear Fantasies bras as they fit me the best. This bra ran slightly fuller in the cup but for me that was a good thing. It is very comfortable and supportive. The wires don't dig in at all like some bras do. I love the side support too. It keeps me from any spilling out of the side of the cup. Marlene from Ohio

I find the cups of this bra crinkle slightly along the front seam so I can't wear it under a smooth-front top; yet my breasts fit in perfectly and the underwire lies smoothly against my breast bone. The sides are not as high as advertised and doesn't hold in the side flab as I would have liked. All that being said, the bra does offer great support, is comfortable, and washes well. Price seems a little high for what you're getting, though. I'll keep it, but won't purchase this one again. Maggie from Columbus, OH

I've been trying forever to find a bra that's actually comfortable. This is it! The cups fit me well and so does the band. It's a really great bra. Diana from Naples, FL

What an awesome bra!!! If you wear a 34H you KNOW it's next to impossible to find 'the' right bra! This is a great bra - sexy, great support, comfortable and it fits in all the right places so that you're not stuffed into a bra that pushes you out at the top or sides (like most H cups).

I like the fit and support of this bra. It does give nice lift and separation without being too pointy like some. I didn't find it to be scratchy but I wash it in lingerie wash so maybe that helped. My only complaint wold be that the band tends to roll up at the bottom on me. If that would stay flat I'd give this five stars. I don't have that problem with any other Fantasie bra and I have many other styles, so it's only a problem on this one. sdebf from san francisco, ca
