Founded in Bristol, England in 1920, the family-run company manufactured corsets, girdles, bras and swimwear under contract for High Street Stores and under its own brand name, Fantasie. Fantasie of England was one of the first companies to recognize the needs of the full busted, rather than full figured, woman. All of Fantasie’s products cater to a woman with a full cup size, but not necessarily a large rib cage, or band size. Fantasie is a division of Stirling Brands, which also makes the famous Rigby & Peller line – awarded the Royal Warrant of Appointment as Corsetieres to HRM Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother in 1993. Fantasie is lingerie fit for a queen!

Fantasie of England’s designers noticed that most bras were constructed by using a 2-section cup and therefore weren’t able to offer many extended cup sizes. To achieve a larger size range the designers frequently use a 3-sectioned cup, which enables them to put more shape and capacity in the cup. Because most of the support from a bra should come from the underband and not from the shoulder straps Fantasie uses a strong ‘powernet’ fabric in the side section of their bras. On larger cup sizes a soft ‘bone’ is added to the side wing to re-enforce the underband and help keep the bust forward while preventing the sides from curling. Another fine detail that Fantasie of England adds to all their bras if the use of ‘restricted stretch’ straps. This means the straps will stretch to allow for comfortable movement but will not slip off the shoulder as rigid straps often do. Restricted stretch also reduces the bounce that occurs with regular elastic straps.
