Best Features

The cups are generous, so if you're less full on top, you may find that one cup size smaller than your regular fit will work better for you. The silicone strip that lines the inner part of the band helps the band stay firmly in place. The Fantasie Smoothing Moulded Strapless Bra is a great fit for mature women or those who have lost some elasticity in their skin.

What women love:

  • The strapless bra includes smooth lines under clothing and an uplifted shape.
  • Silicone lining along the band secures the bra in place, preventing slipping!
  • The bra includes full coverage and support, perfect for those new to strapless bras.
  • The shape is quite minimising but doesn't push the bust too far out to the sides like other strapless or minimising styles.
  • The Fantasie Smoothing Moulded Strapless Bra includes detachable straps, providing extra support with halter or racerback tops or dresses.

What some women may dislike:

  • This is a full-coverage strapless, making it unsuitable for dresses or tops with a low cut or plunging neckline.
  • The stiff moulding gives great lift but won't match the shape of your bust completely, possibly finding some space at the bottom of the cup. However, this usually doesn't affect the fit and appearance.
  • If you have a fuller upper bust, then the cut of the top part maybe be unsuitable. We'd recommend trying a strapless style that is more open on top, such as the Freya Deco Strapless Bra.

It's often necessary to compromise a little when it comes to the fit of a strapless, as the shape will be unlike an everyday bra as it is structured differently to give support without the straps. However, the Fantasie Smoothing Moulded Strapless Bra is similar in shape to an everyday bra. It's a good, reliable strapless option for special occasions or if you have a summery outfit that exposes your shoulders.
