Essentially a strapless, molded version of the "smoothing underwire balcony bra" @4530 which I love (see my review of a 30E size). Sizing notes: This band is tighter and these cups smaller than in the 4520. The 30E 4520 has a band too big for me, while this 4530 band is fine. The 4520 30E cups are a good fit, maybe a bit too small, while I had to go up to an F in this 4530 style. I suspect both of these are due to the strapless/multiway nature of this bra. It has a high center rise and is very covering, though doesn't come as high on the outside front of the bust as a "full coverage" bra would - it still works with some lower square necks. Support when strapless is not where near what a strapped bra provides, and I haven't yet worn it with the straps. I'm likely to wear it with the straps in a racerback / rear cross version soon, perhaps I will update the review.

If you like the other Fantasie smoothing/basic models, this is likely the strapless/multiway bra for you. Just be sure to adjust band and cup size!
