Wider wires than most. Straps rest at a natural place on the mid-shoulder -- comfy and don't slide. The lace on the top half of the cup is lined against the breast -- reduces itch and see-through.
Strap fabric is a super smooth neoprene-like fabric making it super smooth against the skin (not the usual piece of stretchy fabric with elastic at the top & bottom edges). This would be a great choice for someone that finds most bands itchy.
Reasonably priced and easily available (Amazon).
Contrary to the name, I don't think it minimizes anything. However, with the wide cups, this isn't a push-up ... bra.
Haven't had it long enough to comment on durability.
UPDATE 10 months later:
* Still looks brand new. Elastic parts still as tight as day one.
* Have been wearing about once per week. Is washed after 3-4 wears (fewer in the summer). Machine washed, cold water, inside lingerie bag, normal cycle, hang dry.
* The best bra I own for controlling contains that loose skin where the armpit meets the chest wall (a.k.a. armpit rolls, a.k.a. axillary skin spillage).
