I've been wearing Fantasie bras since 2001. I had breast enhancement surgery in 1999 and went from being a small B cup to a D cup. The problem was that no typical bra would fit me after that. Breast enhancement changes the natural shape of the breast making you fuller on the top and sides, consequently all typical bras would cut me across the chest. If I went with a larger band, it only made things worse because I had no support. A bigger cup was wider but not fuller--as in outward from my chest. I was thinking I made a horrible mistake until I stumbled into a wonderful young women who worked at the Nordstrom's in San Antonio. I was looking confused at all the bras and she asked me if she could help by doing a fitting. She had me try on a few different styles and then checked on how they fit. I knew she could tell that I had breast enhancements but she never said anything to embarrass me. The styles she picked out were all ones that I know now were designed for, or have been used by, women with breast enhancements. I ended up in a size 32F which just blew me away. I would have never, ever have thought I would wear a size like that. I'm a petite 4-6, 5'3", and believe me, I don't look top heavy in any way, it's just that this bra is able to fit the silicone pads in a manner that the regular bras can't replicate. I've washed mine on delicate and in cold water, hang dry, for 17 years. I still have my original nude plus one more and two in black. They look the same and the elastic is tight. I think these bras will outlive me. Paying $60 plus dollars for a bra is more than fair for its superior fit and longevity. I have support on all sides (I lean over to fit myself in properly), and the fabric smooths the breast so I don't have the dreaded nipple reveal. I highly recommend this bra for anyone that has had breast enhancement surgery or has heavy full breast. I highly suggest that you go into Nordstrom's and try on to get the proper fit.
My long time favorite Fantasie is no longer sold, so I went with this bra. It is not lined. However, the fit is perfect. I love the large back band, I could wear this all day. I am a 36G
