Fantasie 453171 Helena Balcony Bra fl7710 Reviews

A fantastic look and a perfect fit! And it is so pretty. I am so pleased to feel "with it" again in terms of how my upscale wardrobe looks with such a good bra underneath it. I am about to order another. Em from Somerset, MA

This bra was very uncomfortable and scratchy. Because it is a balcony bra, the straps fit closer to the underarms and they dug in. Additionally, my very ample breasts did not fill the cups properly and the fabric puckered over the nipples. It's a lovely bra, but just didn't fit me.

I have worn this bra for several years and love the fit. However, the material in the two new ones I just received is stiffer, and therefore not as comfortable as the older ones were. I laundered them, but it did not help to soften them. Pat in Illinois

I liked the underarm support. I liked it enough to order another one. Laurie from Friday Harbor, WA, USA

I love this bra - it's really pretty and is able to be adjusted to a shorter strap, which is really hard to find when you're petite. The only thing I'm not sure about is it seems like the elastic around the band stretches out pretty easily. I have had it about a week and it's feeling looser around my rib cage. It could just be that I might need a smaller band. At any rate, I would definitely recommend this bra - it keeps you right where you're supposed to be! Andrea

This is a lovely bra. It's supportive, and the cup and band fit well. Unfortunately, the straps do not adjust long enough for me. I'm returning it. Too bad! It fit great otherwise. Christine from Seattle, WA USA

This is the best!!!~! It fits so good that it looked like I lost weight when I wore it. I purchased the first one in the Upper Peninsula of Mich. The only place I can find it now is "Her Room" on the internet. LOVE IT katie Prinz from Clinton Twp., Mi

This is a very pretty bras considering the size that I need to order. It is very comfortable and gives excellent support, the only issue that I had was one of the cups did lay right where the lase is seamed to the fabric so I had to tack it down in two areas so that it would lay flat, the other color of this bra was a perfect fit and gave me no problems, I'm thinking of ordering another one of this style in a different color.

I am petite with a short torso and this bra fits beautifully. The straps are fully adjustable, so I can get them as short as I want, so the underwires don't feel like they are sitting on my lower ribs. The wires sit perfectly flat between my breasts and provide perfect separation--not too much or too little. The cups also do not come up too far. I have several Fantasie bras and this is one of my favorites because it provides nice side support (giving my arms more freedom of movement) and the satin-like material on the bottom is nice and smooth and the lace is not itchy. I also like the Fantasie Cally and Belle bras, but not the Anna because its side support isn't as good. Jennifer from St. Louis

This is a nice bra. It offers a lot of support. But, it's pretty and holds up well. I wear it all day without any discomfort. Janet from Pittsburgh

A little small but a very good bra. Maybe I should buy the next size. I will buy more bras from them. Customer service excellent. daniela from edmond

It is always very hard for me to find a bra that will support my large bust. I LOVE this bra! Submitted from TheUndies.com

I found this bra a couple of years ago and love it. Even at 'specialty' lingerie stores, it's hard to find a bra that really works for me. This brand is great, but this bra is the best one they offer. Really supportive and comfortable. E from Cincinnati, Oh

This bra is gorgeous in the rich chocolate brown. The smooth parts of the bra are a little shiny like satin, but sturdier. The bra is monotone with the matching lace and no contrast embroidery or stitching, but the brown is so rich that it inspires me to want a brown satin dress now. The panel of classic lace is really generous in my size and looks prettier than in the picture. I'm not one to care about whether lace shows through a t-shirt a little, but the placement of the lace is such that it does not show at all; only the main seam shows a bit. The bra is true to size and appears to be well constructed. I did not find any itchy spots. I like the lace that covers the straps and think they are worthy of showing off next to spaghetti straps in a coordinating top. I wish this bra came in jewel tones, like Kelly green and royal blue.

I just got the bra in the mail, tried it on and I LOVE it, perfect fit, it is pretty. The top half of the cup is sheer under the lace. Usually for a bra my size the sides are very large and poke into my arm pit, not so with this one! the girls are nice and secure and I am comfortable! I am so happy I ordered 2 more!

After several years of searching I have finally found a bra that has it all, fit, support and it is pretty! I have ordered this item before and I still love, love, love it. Thanks! robin from Maryland

What an incredible bra. Beautiful, sexy, and a fit that is I feel pretty--oh so pretty. This bra is so comfortable and supportive that it seems custom made for me. I don't know how I ever allowed myself to be fitted for ugly bras in the past by saleswomen who thought that my bra size and my age dictated an unsexy bra. Never again. Keep these gorgeous beauties coming. I am a knockout in my black Helena Balcony Bra. Thank you! Juanita from Long Beach California USA

This is a fabulous bra. Not only is is beautiful, but VERY supportive. Definitely a favorite of the Fantasie line so far. The chocolate color is really a nice change from my usual black. I highly recommend this particular bra to people with a larger than C cup size. You will not be disappointed!! Jenny from Eureka, CA

Purchased 2 and they both fit differently (black was larger than nude). Otherwise I LOVED them! Julie from Michigan

I ordered this bra because I wanted a nude colored bra and the other Fantasie bra I have I love, but it doesn't come in nude, and this bra seemed similar in the picture. It does fit fairly well, though not as well as my other Fantasie Bra and the shape is a bit pointier than I would like, but overall it fits well and looks nice under clothes. I am a 32DD and finding bras to fit is difficult. Fantasie so far, has not disappointed me. Sue from West Reading,PA

I just keep coming back for more of these! They keep "the girls" happily in their place...no poking out the top or the sides. There is a very nice lift and separate thing going on, too. I have had big thick straps and wide bands with bulges and sags forever. I tried this on the first time (and everytime!) and couldn't believe the difference. I looked firmer, smaller and it felt great. PLUS IT IS VERY PRETTY...! What a wonder! Thank you Fantasie! Dana from Pittsburgh, PA

I am a return customer for this bra. I am a small woman with larger breast and need the forward lift so it looks like I have a waist. This bra does this beautifully. Size is true. I have many different styles of bras but this style is the one I use the most. I think it is the most versatile under cloths and it is very pretty if you have a see through shirt or blouse.

It was exactly as I expected & was delivered promptly.I have a medium frame, however, am somewhat top heavy and there is absolutely NO store that carries my size, so being able to order from your site and having it delivered so quickly is a nice thing to be able to do. Thank you HerRoom!! Donna from Porter
