Fantasie Smoothing T-Shirt Bra fl4510 Reviews

My favorite bra by far!!! When I go bra shopping, it's very frustrating because nothing else compares to the shape, comfort, support, and smooth look under clothing. My husband doesn't think it's sexy, but I'm all about support and comfort when it comes to bras.

PROBLEM- Fantasie always says that they are UK sizing...this has been true in my past Fantasie bras-but I have lost weight and changed from 34 H (34 FF UK) to a 30 G. The tags in my previous Fantasie bras show the size difference, but the most recent one I purchased at a store shows 30 G in both the UK sizing and the US sizing. Now that I would like to buy more, I am not sure which size to buy...

Fantasie Response: (So happy to hear you’re loving your Fantasie bra!) Most of our customers are much happier with the newer tags reflecting only UK sizing. Previously they didn’t know where to look on the tags (UK or US) and it was a little confusing. Now wherever you look on the tag it will give the UK size, and since we are a UK brand, that’s all you need to look for. Congratulations, you’re a UK 30G!

HerRoom Response: We at HerRoom also have a great chart to help you find your bra size among different brands. Jan

Great support. Fits me more like a balcony bra. Gives breats wonderful, feminine shape. Love graceful shaping it provides. valerie from campbell, ca

This is an awesome bra for practical reasons! My breasts are uplifted and "stay put"! I was even asked at work if I had a "Boob job"! OMG, if I did they would be smaller...I feel very figure-flattered in this bra...it works very smoothly under everything....now if it were a little sexier, but then it's hard to have sexy and very functional. This bra is a fabulous everyday, work bra! Paula from Dallas

This bra pushed my boobs in opposite directions, not front and center. It actually made them appear larger, especially from the front view. Everything fit nicely about the bra, very comfortable, seamless appearance under clothing. If only it didn't create triangle boobs.

Fantasie Response: Sounds like she should try to ‘swoop-and-scoop’ her breast tissue forward in front of the underwire. The shape of this bra actually encourages the breast tissue forward but it can only do this if the breasts are placed in the cups properly. It’s possible that after she’s brought her breast tissue forward in front of the underwire, she might have some “fluffing” (or overflow) of breast tissue above the center front of the bra. If this is the case, she needs to go up a cup size… Amy from Oregon

Excellent lift and separation. My favorite bra and the only one I like to wear. My roommate commented "how do your boobs do that?" Carrie from United States

Loved the way this bra cups and cradles. My best friends noticed how nice it looked the first time I wore it and wanted to know more! The spacer in the middle is smaller than most which keeps them in front. The way the bra is constructed all around keeps everything lifted high and smooth just the way I like it! Would be nice to get this same fit without the padding, a lighter version of this bra for the summer months. This bra lifts so well that if my blouse or shirt is kind of low, the bra can sometimes pop out a little. Fantasie 4510 is my new favorite bra! Jacqueline from NJ

This is a really great bra! My only complaint is: after wearing and hand washing twice (size 34F), I noticed it no longer fit tight on the first set of hooks. So I went to the bra shop and had a fitting. The 32FF fit better, but the back fat is VERY noticeable, and I am not really that much over weight. So I am in a dilemma as to what I should do next. Live with the back fat (gross) or wear a bra that shifts due to the band being a little big.

Fantasie Response: We feel that you would be much better off with a firmer band (as soon as you wear and wash the bra it will loosen up –just like the 34F did). If the band is placed parallel to the floor, the “fluffy” bits under the arms are smoothed out and the “fluffies” mid-back will be less noticeable. Remember a bra is a support garment engineered to support the breasts… sometimes we have to let stuff like the ‘back fat’ thing go! Becky from Minnesota

I am so pleased with the fit and lift of this bra. It took me a few tries to get the correct size but worth the effort. I would like the band to be wider in the back but that is the only complaint I have. Judy from NC

I love this bra! I wear UK size 34E and it is the only one that lifts so beautifully, provides all day support and is comfortable. My days are 10+ hours, so I can not tolerate anything that rubs, digs or any of those problems I've had from other bras with adequate support. Also, I can wear it with anything because it does not feel too heavy or thick, yet it gives me the coverage and support I need. It has become the only bra I will buy and wear!

This bra was too big in the band and cups and I ordered it in my regular size (36GG) but it was my first Fantasie bra so perhaps if I go down I'd be happier. The molding was a bit odd for me but I get why its there under a t-shirt, the bra looks good. I just couldn't get past the tops of my breast that were creating a double-boob effect where the bra did not cover them because of the lack of support.

Fantasie Response: Sounds like you need a larger cup to prevent the "double boob" effect discusses - maybe 2 cups larger. So, I would suggest Elomi 1220 in a 34H or 36H. It has a great full cup and supports up to a 44H so I'm sure it will have more than enough support for a 34 or 36 customer. Rhonda from Chicago, IL

This seemed like a nicely shaped bra. I originally ordered it in a size smaller (30 DD) from another company and it was too small. So i ordered it from Her room in my usual size (30 E) and it was too big. I'm not sure if it was just a defective bra as the side panels were gaping. I also did not like the feel of the material. It was very light weight. Had it of fit me properly, then i think the shape of the bra would have been nice as it did give some lift and maybe i could of got used to it but i sent it back.

Fantasie Response: I would not call 4510 light weight at all. Sounds like this customer ordered a couple of bras (see other responses sent from her) and was not happy with any of them. If it is gaping the cup is too large. sharon from Santa Cruz, CA USA

I can't believe it took me so many years to find the perfect bra! It supports and smoothes my frame beautifully. I am finally pain free on my shoulders! Archana from Sugar Land, TX

I returned a 32 FF in this bra since the band and cups were too large and requested a 30 F. The 30 band size seems good but the F cup now seems too small. Should I return and get a 30 FF?

HerRoom Response: Yes, try the 30FF. When you go down a band size and maintain the same cup size (in this example, an FF) you are still going down a cup size. Going down both a band size and cup size means you have gone down one band size, but two cup sizes. Judy from NC

Provides excellent lift/shape. Good supporting fit. Only criticism would be that this bra could be a lined a little more around the band for comfort, but the lift/support is so great, I am will to make the sacrifice. Vanessa from Florida, USA

It's so hard for me to find a bra that fits AND is comfortable AND is flattering. This does it all. Wide straps won't work under strappy tank tops, but you may never find a better t-shirt bra. Double D-light from Richmond, VA

I love this bra, I have four of them. I'm shallow. No really. I'm talking about my breasts, silly, they're full at the bottom, but not at the top. This bra is great for those of us that are shallow. D from San Francisco, CA

Bra is uncomfortable for me, although i am pregnant and that could be why. i was hoping this was the bra to hold me up, which it does, but it's so uncomfortable i can't wear it. i already took the tags off or i would return it. Her Room has been wonderful about exchanges.

Fantasie Response: With the changing breast tissue of pregnant women we suggest a cup with a seam; such as Fantasie 2152 or Fantasie 2182 or even Freya active 4002 . The seam helps to support the breast tissue and helps to prevent the tissue from breaking down in the Cooper's ligaments area (top of the breast). (Betty) Most important for pregnant ladies is of course comfort, and the firmest support. We want to minimize all bounce! We’ve had wonderful feedback from ladies who’ve been wearing the Freya Active bra throughout their pregnancy… The support is extremely firm and an added bonus is the “wicking” properties of the fabric which literally wisks the moisture away from the skin, keeping her dry and comfy.

HerRoom I love this bra, please do not discontinue! It lifts and shapes wonderfully, although as another reviewer stated, the nipple point does "crumple in" when my torso is scrunching inwards (which isn't often for me) and makes a little dent (it pops out right after) but this bra's worth it! I didn't see any other 32H's up there, so I guess I'm the first. GREAT T-shirt bra and practically the only good one in this size! Valiant-T from Washington

Cup size seems just a bit shallow, even considering the advertised lesser coverage in the cut of the bra. You must also keep in mind that "lower center" means that the girls are lower. This is not a bra to lift you up, which is my mistake in looking at the picture and assuming that it would fit like a balconette bra. It doesn't, at least in that area. An OK bra, not the homerun I was expecting from the awards and reviews. On the plus side, there is NO chance of any "immodesty"--if you are worried about show-through, this is the bra for you!

I was measured and fitted at a specialty store and this is the bra they recommended. This bra is very supportive and comfortable. I've had my other one for over six months and washed it numerous times and it's held up well. I highly recommend this bra. Lynn from Texas

This is my first time trying a molded bra. I have to say it's working out better than I expected. The lines are smooth and the support is great. I do have some spillover issues thanks to unequal breast sizes but a little adjusting makes a it less noticeable. I may try a smaller band on a bigger cup since I'm already hooking this one tighter now. But otherwise, this bra is really comfortable and definitely worth a try! Judy from Houston, TX

Nice uplift and support, my breasts tend to fall out the sides slightly but not enough to be uncomfortable or even notice. Good bra! sarah from Leeds maine

This bra fits excellently. It supports for the WHOLE day and I do not even notice I'm wearing it. It's durable in the wash machine. A great value. One of the best bras I've ever owned. I highly recommend it. Holly from Chisago City

I find the straps to be too far apart causing them to fall from my shoulders sometimes. However I do like the molded cup for shaping and I'm hoping it lasts through washing!! :) Roseann from canterbury

This bra is comfortable... but the shape is awful and is positioned so that the fullest part of the cup is not filled by me. I am a full G and I have never had this problem before. If I lean against something or hold something against me while wearing the bra, a crease shows through my shirt. The straps also have random threads sticking out. Unfortunately, I noticed this after wearing the bra.

HerRoom Response: In Fantasie you would be an F cup. Fantasie sizes their cups D, DD, E, F. I'm afraid you sellected too large a cup size. Allison from Florida

This is the best bra I have ever owned. The fit is amazing, it is comfortable as can be, and is easily machine washable. The shape and lift it provides is just perfect and can be worn under any garment. I have always struggled to find bras that are pretty, comfortable, and fit well on my larger chest and this is it!
