This best-selling bra lifts your breasts up and projects them forward rather than to the sides.
Underwire cups support and shape the breasts.
Side seams with boning for additional support.
Leotard back minimizes back fat and provides extra support.
Runs up to a G cup (US cup size I--see sizing info).
Straps are more centered over the breasts to reduce strap slippage.
Shoulder straps adjust in the back for the perfect fit.
Fuller coverage and wider straps than the Fantasie 4520.
Please Note: Fantasie cup sizes differ from standard US cup sizes after a DD cup. Fantasie E cup is US F; F cup is US G; FF cup is US H; and G cup is US I.
Tomima's Tip "The cups run large on this style. I would suggest going down a cup size - 38DD to a 38D. Also, this is a great bra for women with strap slippage issues due to sloping shoulders."
This Fantasie Molded Smooth Cup Bra is part of the Fantasie Smoothing collection.
Great support & fit! Fabulous price and very comfortable as well as flattering.

This is a good bra. I like the shape and support but am not wild about the material. It's just the slightest bit rough to the touch. However, it is not in anyway uncomfortable. A good purchase for a little less money.

I originally ordered this bra with a 34 band and it was too loose. The 32 is wonderful, and the cup size is perfect. Obviously, I am a hard to fit gal and this bra is the best fitting bra that I have worn in many years. While it is not particularly feminine, I'll take fit and comfort any day!

Very comfortable, everyday bra. Thinner lining, so nipples do show through, but all in all, I would be again for the comfort. No spillage over top for me. Great.

This was the 5th bra in this style I have purchased. They fit nicely and wash and wear great. The local stores only carry white and nude, so it was nice being able to add black to my color pallette. Customer service was very responsive to questions and concerns and shipping was very quick. Will definitely be back for more.

This is my first time trying the Fantasie Molded Smooth Cup Bra (4500) as for the past 5 years or so I've been buying the Fantasie Smoothing Underwired Balcony Bra (4520), however lately with the 4520 I've been finding some spillage over the top of the cups which doesn't look good under t-shirts and tight shirts. Thought I would try the 4500 because of the fuller coverage. I find it has great support and I don't have to worry about anything "falling out." My only complaint is that I wish the straps could be tightened more. I have to tighten the straps a lot so when this bra gets a little older and I have to start tightening the band and the straps I'm not going to have much leeway. I was professionally fitted for the 4520 in a 30F and ordered this in a 30F and 30FF and the 30F was a better fit, the 30FF was too big in the cups.
Fantasie Response: Spillage over the top of the cup indicates the need to go up at least one cup size (which sounds like you did); note 4500 runs one full cup size larger than Fantasie 4520
so if you are a 30F in 4520, you would need a 30E in 4500.

I wore this bra almost exclusively for years. I ordered a new one to replace mine that have worn out and I was completely suprised by how the fit of this bra on me has changed. Perhaps there is some way that I could change the size that I would wear in this style now, but I don't see how it would ever fit. Seems to run larger in the underwire size (how big around the bottom it is) and cup size and come up further in the front. I also ordered the Elomi and it fites really well. More like how the 4500 used to fit me. Could be old age but my new favorite is the Elomi.
Elomi Response: I'm guessing the elomi bra you ordered was style 3911. The 3911 gives great support and has a side “sling” that 4500 does not. The side sling helps to bring the breast tissue in on from under the underarm area to give a great, lifted support.

The cups on this bra were far to stiff but the back fit right where it was supposed to. Bras are hit or miss and for me, this one was a miss.
Fantasie Response:
First there is not an “I” cup in this bra; there are no UK “I” cups; 4500 has a big support job to do and needs to be a “firm” (even though I would not call it stiff). - Betty
Kiki might have purchased this bra in a UK 36G, as a UK G-cup is equivalent to a U.S. I-cup… perhaps Kiki’s more accustomed to wearing a “stretchier” cup with plenty of give… As Betty points out, the 4500 has a big support job to do, and therefore we do not recommend stretchy cups which allow the breast tissue to droop over the wire. A firm cup will support and lift, giving a higher (and perkier) silhouette. - Freddy

Fits exactly as promised and as pictured. From the front I look great. The lower side fit gives me a hideous overhang with my back at my underarm, on the top of the side. Yuck. I've never seen anything like it before...on me or anyone. I'm so desperate for plain cup bra without "contour" that I'm keeping it though. I'll just have to keep looking for the perfect fit for me.
Fantasie Response:
Try Elomi 3911
in a 38F or 38E. It has great coverage in the back and underarm area.

This bra has a great fit and more support than I expected. At first the cup size seemed a little big, but the underwire fit was perfect. After wearing for a few days I seemed to settle into the fit and I really love it. I don't have to keep pulling up the straps and adjusting the cups, which is unusual for me. I have always had a hard time finding a bra that fits and this one is great.

I'm just real fussy about how a bra fits in the cups and this one was just not a perfect fit on me.
