Fantasie Seamless Molded Balcony Bra fl4520 Reviews

Way too small, not at all like the picture. Straps were thinner and dug into my shoulders, cups were thin and flimsy, and overall was at least one cup size too small. This brand is however exceptional quality, I tend to always have trouble with the sizing of this brand. I'm happy for the easy returns. Anonymous from Saline, MI

This is by far the absolute best fitting bra I have ever owned! I love how the cups are seamless and offers a sexy cleavage for those low cut tops or tanks. The first time I wore it I felt as though I was 10 lbs lighter. I felt more confident about my larger chest size. And I love the fact that the cups have no lining or padding. Only a real,natural look remains. If you are in your correct size, this bra fits amazingly. It gives you good support, smooth and nicely shaped breasts that look awesome under a t-shirt or a tank top. Fantasie 4520 is the ONLY bra I wear. Sizing is the issue I have with Fantasie; check out their sizing chart...and if that doesn't help send HerRoom an email with your exact problem. They are great about getting back to you with an answer. But, once you finally find the size that fits you best you won't regret it. HerRoom is great about allowing you to return an item if it doesn't fit properly, so it is well worth your time and money. Granted this is not a very inexpensive bra, but for me it is worth EVERY penny. As I had said in a previous review, PLEASE DO NOT EVER STOP MAKING THIS BRA, FANTASIE!!

beautiful bra but the molded cups are a bit intimidating first out of the box. However once I got it on, I loved it! Nancy from Denver

As an average size woman with a large chest- I love the sleekness and comfort of this bra. I own it in every color. It still allows me to wear low cut tops without a "granny" bra showing through. Andrea from Mesa, AZ

I was looking for a bra with a more dense cup lining- (non-see thru-"molded" is not the best word to use in description of bra) to wear under tee shirts. Also, the straps in the back gapped at the curve attaching to bra. It would have been bumppy under a shirt. I returned it. Marge from Port Matilda PA

Great bra - I now have nude and black. I had a nude in 38FF but lost weight (but no bust) so went down a back size. Love the bra - low cut so that I don't get the "shelf effect" and can be worn for work and to go out in low cut tops with great support. Worth every cent! Susan from Trinidad

This was my favorite bra before surgery (36G) and is still my favorite now (36D). Great shape, comfortable, true to size, and holds up well in the wash. A great everyday bra! Barb from Minneapolis, MN

Liked the style and comfort, but it didn't provide enough coverage at the top, i.e. "spillage." The fabric in the cups "wrinkled" despite adjustments in the straps. It's advertised as molded, but that was not the case. Leslie from Bath, ME

Bra is well made, but runs very small in the cups. I was fitted by a professional after surgery and always wear the same size from brand to brand with very little variance. This one was at least 2 sizes too small. :( I really hate it, because I bought it on clearance (over $50) knowing it would fit. I'm stuck with it. :( Kathy from Southeastern USA

Great bra, especially under t shirts because it is totally seamless up front. It is confusing that it says "molded" because it isn't lined, but that was exactly what I wanted - an unlined and unpadded full support bra. This was my first time buying online to replace a the same bra that I already had, and HerRoom did an excellent job of providing me with enough info to make sure it was the right one. Thanks!

This is finally a bra with a perfect fit for my plus size petite frame. the sides being 3 1/2 inches tall prevent the wire from poking me in the arm. This is my new everyday wear to work bra! Linda from Van alstyne, TX USA

My first purchase off of Herroom and I love it! I found that it fit me in my usual size. I like that it lifts and provides support without a lot of padding and bulk. Tara from Mass

This bra fits well and has a nice shape. I'm just hoping it softens up some because right now it's **sharp**. No pain no gain I guess. Steph from Minneapolis, MN

This is a great everyday bra. I tried it first after being fitted at a lingerie shop and was told "Put this one on honey- it will make you look taller!" In fact, it does seem to. This bra does a great job lifting and separating, and it's incredibly comfortable. I feel like it has also held up very well over time, as my first one is about a year and a half old and still works well for weekend wear. Amy from St. Paul

I purchased this bra 3 years ago and loved it. I just got finished nursing my first kid and needed some new bras....I went and bought another Balcony bra and love it...it makes me look slimmer and feel slimmer and puts the girls where they are supposed to be. Thanks Fantasie!!! Robin Robin from Anchorage AK

First, this bra DOES NOT HAVE ANY LINING. I ordered this bra by mistake, the balcony bra with the lining is listed as Fantasie's t-shirt bra. I think calling it "molded" is really misleading. Other than that, I have worn this bra and it's fantastic. The quality is very high so it lasts a ridiculously long time and it's great for smaller frame girls. It only has two hooks in the back so it doesn't feel like you're wearing a shirt instead of a bra like many "full coverage" bras do.

HerRoom Response: The word "molded" only means that the cups have been molded on a form and are thus pre-shaped. A molded bra does not mean it is also lined. Nicole from Lansing MI

I really like the bra but wish it came in 32H. Sharon from Bedford, TX 77022

Depending on the individual bra, some are more puckered at the top than others. It's a very comfortable fit. DS from Houston,TX USA

Seems like it would be a great bra...if it fit me. I have been professionally fitted for a U.S. size 36I, and I purchased this in the U.K. equivalent of 36G. Yet, the cups were at least two sizes too small for me. I had a similar problem with another Fantasie bra. I wonder if the entire line runs small. The underbust sizing seemed correct to me.

HerRoom Response: With your cup size, it's possible you did not order the correct size. We have a great chart that compares the cup sizes of different brands. Here is the link: http://www.herroom.com/full-figure-bra-cup-sizing,905,30.html Jane

I agree about the cup size being small. I also ordered a 32DD - since I have Fantasie 4510 in that size. There is a big discrepancy in size between the two styles. 4510 fits perfectly, while this is incredibly small. In addition, I feel that a bra with "Smoothing" in the name - should do just that and contain a light lining to smooth the area. This is not a bra you should wear for modesty.

I love the fit, but it only works for a few different blouses. When it works, it works well. kimberly from white

I was shocked at how badly it fit me! I double-checked the tag to be sure that it was the size that I ordered because the cups were so much smaller than any other bra I have in that size. I'm not talking about it covering less of my breast, I'm talking about the cups being FAR too small - the underwires were a full inch narrower side to side than other bras I own. It was also far larger in the band that it should be. I felt like I was trying on a 34B instead of a 32DD. I'm returning it immediately. I'm so glad HerRoom has a good return policy!

This bra was nice looking but entirely unsuitable for me. It did not provide the support I need for my 59 year old breasts and my active lifestyle. The cups were small for a D. Usually D cups fit me well. I have returned it. Jennifer from Trevett

It was loose in the cups, so there were wrinkles on the top. Perhaps a smaller cup size would have worked, but I'm sticking with another balcony (4510) because I know it works. Deborah

Fantasie bras are the only ones I have found that fit me properly (32G) and are quite comfortable. :) Michelle from St. Louis

This bra is very comfortable and provides great support with full coverage. It does have a foam lining which helps with show through. It does a great job lifting you up and I would definitely order this bra again in other colors. Sandy from Watertown,WI, USA
