This does stay up. But it makes me bleed. It's definitely the right size--not too tight--but I believe the silicone bands catch my skin or something, because both times I wore it, a ways apart, I ended up with open wounds on my side near the top of the band. Too bad, it looks nice otherwise.

Fantasie Response: If the strapless does not stay up it is too big in the band. You might need a 28F (D4) cup. The problem with the silicone in the band could mean that you are possibly having an allergic reaction to the silicone which can happen with some customers, or it could be because the bra is rubbing on you due to the bra not staying in place because the band is too big.

Truly a strapless bra that supports and doesn't budge! My teen is hard to fit with her tiny frame, but larger cup size and this strapless bra holds her up and in and stays up without tugging. She is so happy about this bra and other Fantasie bras including the smoothing t-shirt bra. HerRoom has saved us from the frustrating search for bras in department stores! Jennifer from Atlanta

This is full coverage. I wouldn't be able to wear this with much. Size runs a little small.

Fantasie Response: The 4530 usually runs full in the cup rather than small. The deco strapless in Freya is a little less coverage and has a plungier silhouette. Brittany from Los Angeles, CA

I purchased both the 32D black version of this bra, along with a 34C in nude. I usually wear a 32DD. I think I fall somewhere in between the 2 sizes I got, because both feel right, although the 32D has very very slight spillage. This bra is very good at staying up all evening and creates a great shape. As others have mentioned, it provides a flattering degree of separation so as to avoid the uni-boob effect, and is indeed seamless so you don't have that obvious line to give away where the bra starts, underneath dresses and camisoles. I wish this one could also add a little cleavage in the bargain, but I guess that's sort of contrary to the efforts to separate the breasts. I'm happy with them in general and am glad to finally retire all the other disappointing strapless bras I have in favor of these. Leslie from Austin/TX/USA

I have tried my entire adult life to find a strapless bra that worked. Finally, one that works. It stays put and looks good under clothing. I now own 2! Mikie from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida

Does a good job keeping my breasts up where they need to be. Don't feel the need to constantly pull up on it. Mallory from Tampa

Normally wear the Fantasie 4510 in size 30 E and wanted the strapless version. Ordered both the 30 E and 30 DD to try. Ended up returning the 30 DD. Great bra. Lisa

Love the fit and flexibility this bra offers. Own the Fantasie 4510 in 30 E which is the same bra with straps. Had also ordered the 30 DD since tips suggested to go a size smaller but this was not the case for me. Lisa

Fits great. Holds your breasts up without giving you a lump of skin over the top! Fits snugly so you don't have to worry about tugging on it to keep it up. Linda from Winchester, KY

I normally wear a 34F Fantasie bra. Your previous reviewers suggested buying a cup smaller, so I ordered the bra in a 34E and a 34F. Neither of them fit me well. I had a bulge under my arms and thru my back. I called and talked to a consultant who I felt was more knowledgeable than the original person I spoke with. I then ordered a 36E and it fits perfectly. It feels better than any strapless bra I have ever owned. It stays put and you don't have to tug on it all the time to make sure you are not falling out!! Linda from Winchester, KY USA

Does work. So far, I find the band width a little tight although I have always worn a 36F in Fantasie bras. Otherwise, I wear a 36G. I will keep it as it is the best I have found. Donna from Wixom, MI USA,

After years of struggling with staples bra’s I had just given up. Then I decided to give this one a try and it worked. I followed HerRoom’s advice and went down a cup size since I am typically a 34H. I didn’t need to adjust that often and the bra even survived a dance battle. Since I have only worn this bra twice and have yet to wash it I can only give it 4 stars. Antoinette from Santa Barbara

Amazing really, that a strapless can offer so much support and still be comfortable all day. Suzanne from Lake Hopatcong, NJ Morris County

This is my favorite bra. I've been wearing it for years. It gives support and seems to minimize as well. My only complaint is that the grosgrain taping for the hooks of the removable straps tends to break and fray and occasionally needs to be repaired. I would imagine this is more of a problem with larger sizes/larger breasts. But besides that it's an amazing bra. I would wear it even if I had smaller breasts. Adie from brookly, ny, usa

Normally I wear a 36G in Fantasie and Panache bras, so I followed the advice to get a cup size smaller and went with the 36FF. The band was a perfect fit, nice and snug the way I like it. However, despite going down a cup size, I found that the cups gapped significantly at the sides on me and slightly at the top. This could be due to the fact that I've nursed 3 kids and my breasts aren't as perky as they once were. Also, I generally prefer a more 'forward' look and these cups seemed too wide-set for me, since they gave me a minimized look with my breasts pointing more toward the sides than toward the front. Overall, it wasn't the silhouette I was looking for so I sent it back and will try something different. As always the customer service from HerRoom is excellent. Jen from Lacey, WA USA

I ordered a size smaller like suggested in the tip section and was way to small. Decided to try a brand. I would say go with your original size. I love my smoothing Fantasie t-shirt bra it is my favorite!!

Fantasie Response: The cup usually runs big, but you might want to try going up a cup!!! This is a super great strapless bra!!! Dawn

After reading the reviews for all the strapless bras I thought that this was probably the one I wanted. I haven't purchased a strapless in years, but I've been a standard 36G in Fantasie and Panache for a few years now and reading the recommendations to go down a cup size, I bought a 36FF.

Pros: The band fits wonderfully - perfectly snug, the way I like it - so no problems there. The silicon grips make it feel very secure.

Cons:The cups are definitely too big and gap away from me at the sides, though. Having nursed 3 children, I'm not perky at all anymore, so I could understand a bit of a gap at the top. But the sides? Also, while I like separation in a regular bra, I find that I prefer a little more cleavage with a strapless, given the type of dresses and tops I would wear a strapless bra with. This bra is almost a minimizer in this respect, and offers no cleavage enhancement at all, which is fine, but not what I'm looking for. I don't think that this will change with a smaller cup size and I'm hesitant to go smaller than a 36F to get a good fit. So this bra is going back and I'll have to try a different brand.

Fantasie Response: You might try the 36F. If the bra is gapping at the sides it should be too large. It is difficult to find a push up strapless in your cup size, but you could also try the Freya strapless Deco style 4233 for a little more “vavoom”. Jen from Lacey, WA USA

Horrid, uncomfortable, and just pushed my breasts east, west and down.

Fantasie Response: The Fantasie strapless is one of the best strapless bras out there for larger busted women. The cup does run a little full so make sure you do not need a 30F. Samantha from Canada

Following Tamima's Tip on this bra, I downsized from the 30F I usually wear to a 30E. The cup was way too small, and I had to return it. I just received the 30F and have been wearing it for a couple of days. AMAZING freedom! No bra straps digging into the shoulders, great lift, and it doesn't move at all! Also, oddly, minimizing! Will be wearing strapless under everything. (BTW, comes with straps, should you care to use them, which attach very far out on the shoulder, so that would be good with open necks.) Wish I had this bra before my shoulders became permanently indented :) Carol from Ann Arbor, MI

I ordered this bra, suspect of the rave reviews, despite their number. Strapless bras and I have never played well together! For special occasion wear, I think this will work and it opens up a lot of dress and blouse options I previously thought I did not have. I avoid any structured or "lightly lined" bras because of fear of added bulk, but this is not problematic in the 4530 - the structure is actually beneficial and one of the features that helps hoist a pair of heavy orbs northward! cjr from Illinois

The first time I ordered it I had to return it because the cup size is larger with this bra. Once I got a smaller size it is amazing for a strapless bra it never slides! Ashley from Canada

It's not easy to find a good strapless bra when you wear this size and this is the best I've found thus far. Comfy and stays put. Would have liked the cup to be a little more full under the armpit to avoid the underarm bulge, but that's the only complaint I have. Love the freedom to choose other top options again now that I found a strapless bra that fits and stays up! gcp

This was not a bra for me, but I had hoped it would be, to wear with a specific dress. The cups fit strangely and it did not provide the support needed. I've never had success with a strapless bra due to my larger bust size. But it was worth a try! I returned this item. Matilda from New York

I returned it ,it was not comfortable at all

Fantasie Response: The 4530 is a great strapless bra. Sorry it did not work for you. The cup on 4530 runs full, was it the correct size? joann from tampa fl
