i have the dream tisha thanks to a recommendation from lilykind awhile ago. is now my favorite bra ever! (tmi, but...) i no longer feel like a 60 yo hag with boobs down to her elbows!
I love my Dream Tishas, although I do have a few issues. I wear one when I'm exercising because it's a lot more supportive than any sports bra I've found!
I have three Dream Tishas. The first one I got is just like this:
and I loved it. I'm not a huge fan of the shape, but the support and comfort makes it worth it so I wear it whenever I can. The second one I got, I ordered the same style number and everything but it's so different. I won't even wear it in public except for exercising. It has HUGE padded straps, a thicker band, and a horrendous silhouette. I emailed Le Mystere when this happened to ask what was going on since I ordered the same style number, and they said that many people requested those changes. To rectify my disappointment, they sent me a Dream Tisha in lace, and I can't say enough good things about it! It's supportive and I also really love the silhouette.
A word of warning, though: the dream tishas (well, the first two, I didn't have this issue with the lace) have really small bands. I think it helps with the support, but if you're on the edge of sizes I'd size up. (so if you're a 32C normally, take a 34B)
ETA: I happened to run across a picture of the huge-straps version that they're selling now:

I don't mean to hijack, but does anyone know the difference between Tisha and Dream Tisha? I have a fairly large chest, and I'm looking for a good supportive bra.

I don't know all the detailed differences, but the dream tisha is made in larger sizes so I assume it's for fuller figures? I actually didn't know there was a difference until you asked this and I looked at their website. They look basically the same but the dream tisha goes up to G cup or something, whereas the regular tisha only goes up to DD.

I haven't found a style from Le Mystere that I don't like. I have 6 or so tisha's, one rouge lara, and a sculptural push up. Le Mystere is by far my favorite brand, and even better, I find them all the time at TJ Maxx for anywhere from $7-$15.

Ahh. Thanks ttara! I suppose if I had looked hard enough I would have figured that out (I hope! ). I think I'm going to buy a Dream Tisha t-shirt bra from Nordies.
Has anyone else with the Tisha bra found the need to size up in band size? I don't know if I'm on the edge of sizes.

I have 3 dream tishas and 1 regular tisha...the Tisha is a great bra if your chest is perkier...the DT offers more support. Both are amazing though. I chucked all my VS bras and now buy Le Mystere Tisha and Dream Tisha exclusively.
I have three dream tishas, two in nude and one in pink. I think the nude ones are pretty ugly but as ttara said, they have great support. I also wear mine for working out. I normally buy a 32E and have the band taken in by at least 1". The dream tisha in a 32E fits me on the loosest hook unaltered.
I don't mind the shape but find that the fantasie 4510/4520 gives great shape and is far more comfortable. Here is a pic. This is now my favorite bra. I have two already and have ordered another one in pink and a very similar style in deep cranberry red. It is the fantasie allure and got great reviews on figleaves and herroom.
Almost forgot to add. I lost a few pounds and went to the lingerie store thinking I needed to get a 32DD in the tisha instead of the 32E in the dream tisha and was told by the owner of the boutique that they are quite a different fit and it isn't just that the dream tisha is for larger sizes.
