I take it you enjoy the smoothing element? I don't know if the Rebecca will work given that all the Fantasies seem to run tall in the wires. Butterfly Collection just wrote a terrific blog post on wire length. Check it out for info that might help you.<br /><br />I would consider trying the Rebecca - for science as you suggest :-) Let me see if I can find it in a store in town, just to try.<br /><br />You are so sweet to offer to send me the Figleaves orders - so tremendously thoughtful! I am fortunate to have family in the US so sometimes I call on them to assist in this fashion.

I'm curious how your particular bra works... is the fabric molded to shape or is there a bit of stretch?Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00404449004824638306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-913292157216609262013-09-09T04:56:29.212-04:002013-09-09T04:56:29.212-04:00I was having a conversation with a friend at the w...I was having a conversation with a friend at the weekend about the charges levied when you ship stuff into the country (in this case yarn). The good old British postal service levies a charge on top of the import taxes. So your tax might be £1 but regardless you'll also be hit with a "handling charge" of at least £8. It does impact on global shopping because when you include the shipping charges you often end up doubling or trebling the cost of the original item. Crazy making!<br />Now, I'll get off my soap box and do a happy dance that finally, if in the most annoying way possible, the beige bra saga has been resolved.

Would this current, fitting size have worked before pertussis and other assorted ailments? WHAT IS GOING ON?<br /><br />I actually have this bra. Inspired to try it by your original glowing praise of it, I decided to try it in a 30F. Like so many Fantasie full cups, it seems a bit too tall for my petite frame. It fits well enough, though, especially with a Braologie Mini Vest, to fulfill a specific function. I'm considering ordering a nude-for-me Fantasie Rebecca Spacer Foam Bra, for the same seamless reasons I bought the 4520. The spacer foam is a little more forgiving than the 4520's thin, floppy fabric. But the cups--half my torso is bra when I wear Fantasie.<br /><br />I think additional analysis is called for. Would you consider comparing a Fantasie Rebecca with the 4520? I know you hate molding or padding, but--for science? :)<br /><br />Anyway, I live in the U.S. As an avid reader, I would be happy to act as receiver for your figleaves orders and send them on to you, as payment for your excellent, prolific blogging. Let me know, and I can email you directly to set it up. My only request is you review what you receive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-80179898093434651862013-09-08T18:06:54.465-04:002013-09-08T18:06:54.465-04:00Oh, wow... not what I would have expected.
