I've never worn a bra quite like this: the Fantasie Fusion Leisure bra combines comfort and fit like no other

When it comes to most comfortable bras, some days I like lots of lift and support, and other days I will prefer something a little softer to keep my bust in check.

While the choice between a bra vs bralette isn’t hugely hard to make each morning, if I opt for something too structured while at home in my loungewear, I can sometimes feel uncomfortable and I will be constantly yanking my wired bra back into position, and if I go for a very soft bralette and end up popping to the shops later, I can feel under supported.

It's hard to find a bra that can do both jobs, but the Fantasie Fusion Leisure Bra is very close to being up there with the best in the do-it-all stakes! It’s a non-wired bra with a very flattering crossover V-neck front, and a sporty vest back. The peachy-nude fabric has a subtle jacquard effect running through it that gives it a modern feel while feeling super soft to wear, and there’s a sheer trim along the edge for extra style points.

As well as looking great, the bra has clever design details that make it very different to other bras I’ve worn before. It has two sets of a hook and eye front fastenings (one under each boob) on the elasticated underband, and it pulls on like a waistcoat and sits with a crossover style, that can be adjusted on each fastening to tighten or loosen to find a comfy fit. The non-padded cups feels smoothing and lightly supportive without being restricting, and the wider straps have hidden firmer straps inside that can easily be added or removed for additional support and lift.

I love the extra details in this one that help to make it feel a little more customisable – it means I can wear it a looser on the band and minus straps while snuggled on the sofa, or I can tighten things up and add the shoulder straps for when I need to head out for the school run. While I don't think it would be one of the best bras for large busts or offer enough support for a full day at work, I found it provided a good level of hold while doing some quick errands or for just keeping my boobs in check when i'm busy at home.

While testing the bra, I wore it for two full days and considered the fit, the style, support and how comfortable it was.

Fantasie Fusion Leisure Bra: Comfort & Fit

The super soft and fine fabric is made up of polyamide, elastane and modal, so it has plenty of stretch but the wrap-front style helps to keep it feeling taught and firm enough to smooth and shape my bust. It feels very lightweight and breathable on skin, and I wore it for a couple of days without any complaints.

I like the front fastening – it makes it super easy to pop on, and the double set of hook and eyes mean I can adjust to find the perfect fit each time. The sleek and wide back panel is comfortable while being very smoothing so it’s a winning choice for anybody on the hunt for the best bras for back fat, and the removable shoulder straps are great for adding extra support if needed, or for taking out when I'd like softness on a snuggly sofa day.

It’s available in sizes XS-XL, which covers UK sizes 30D-38G, and there is a handy chart on the Fantasie website to find the right fit for you.

Fantasie Fusion Leisure Bra: Style

I like the sportier vibe this bra has, and the crossover front is flattering without being too revealing. The soft peachy pink colour is very pretty, and the lack of fussy lace helps to give it a contemporary feel while making it really smooth to sit under even the tightest T-shirts without any lumps or bumps.

The back is very plain compared to the jacquard material at the front but overall it has a very understated yet chic feel to it that flatters my bust nicely. I'd love to see it in black colourway, but right now it's currently available in a rich navy colour and a soft sapphire tone too.

Fantasie Fusion Leisure Bra : Care

Because of the fine and delicate fabric, this one needs to be hand-washed to avoid any damage while in a machine. Once cleaned, it dried impressively fast and it looked and felt like new the next time I wore it.

Fantasie Fusion Leisure Bra: Verdict

I love a comfy bra and this one is most definitely comfortable. As well as being soft and stretchy, it added gentle lift and support with a smooth and natural looking finish. The handy front fastening and removable straps help to find the perfect fit, and I love the crossover front as it's very flattering without being too much.

While it won't provide a huge amount of support for a busy day out and about, it's perfect for some extra hold while at home or a quick pop to the shops. It's unlike any bra I've worn before, and I really love it.
