Fantasie's Mariette full figure and large cup bras
These full figure bras get excellent ratings from reviewers at Her Room, (2 of them wear a 40G), Figleaves and now myself! We find these bras give us a nice round shape and perky lift! These are also very pretty balconette bras! I hope to have the matching panties someday...Her Room has the shorty panties in this style and they have two both give this panty style 5 stars! Bigger Bras has both the shorty style and the brief.
Yes these bras, and panties are very pretty! Yet one reviewer of the shorty panty style at Her Room is so through, with regard to design, fit and feel, that I will provide a link to it in this pages right column! Then I am going to go look for it at a price I can afford on eBay!
My own review of this bra style ended up being dispersed throughout as commentary on each of this bras lovely features!
OK, back to these underwire balconette bras! The have unlined cups with a ribbed fabric on the lower two of its traditional three section cups, (the norm for full busted, or large cup sized bras). The top section is a Swiss lace embroidery. Both the embroidery and ribbing on the cups are very low profile! This is great if you like to wear t-shirts and yet need bras with cup sizes over H. Seamless bras over an H cup size are rare. Then they become discontinued in sizes up to K, as the Elomi smooth, seamless #EL1220 did, in cup sizes larger than H.
Also if you are a little off on your cup size, as I was, the edge design of the lace upper cups is very forgiving. So for example, I would apparently need a JJ or K cup in this bra style, yet because of this particular lace being used on its upper cups, there is just the tiniest hint of the Quadra boob effect, even in tight t-shirts!
Click on this bras picture below to see it at Her Room. They have the very nice mouse over zoom feature. This way you can see the very fine ribbing that does not show in most photos, or under t-shirts!
These bras have, an apparently now standard, leotard back to minimize fat with sheer power net wings, for support, control and anchorage. The power net wings are not quite as rigid as the Panache Super Bra tango II, yet it provides firm hold that does not let you down as the day goes on! It just goes on easier!
The pretty, embroidered straps are wide set and a tad wider than I usually find. One woman who reviewed this bra at Figleaves found the straps stretchy and hurt her shoulders. I will say this, the straps do have an elastic part in the back. It has some give, but not too much. I can also say I found these straps dug into my shoulders a bit the first day I wore it. Strangely, when I put it on today, my second day of wearing this bra, it feels fine! In my case, I think the original bothersome day was the straps being set wider than my usual bras. Either way, they feel fine now!
These bras come in white and nude, or bamboo, colors. They also come in black with white embroidered flowers, but black is being discontinued. I have listed who has these bras in what size ranges and best to average prices in the right column.
For myself, even though they do not appear to come in larger than J cup sizes, while I would do better with a K in this style; I will try to get more when I can. How is that for a review summary! These bras are very beautiful and comfy while giving just the right shape!
