(This is the second part of a two part blog on flattering bras for every bustline. In Part One I shared some thoughts on smaller bustlines and the most complimentary bras for them. In this blog I’ll share the mid-range and full figure bras that bring out your best silhouette.)
In the mid-range category, Camille’s go-to bra is the Wacoal Halo Lace Underwire Bra
(65547). Soft, flat lace graces this underwire bra from the seamless stretch cups to the three hook and eye back closure. A soft cottony lining makes it super comfy to wear while the simple tailoring makes this bra extra flattering and supportive. In contrast is the Wacoal Basic Beauty Seamless Underwire Bra (855192). Molded, underwire cups are free from padding while still offering support and shape to your bustline. Silky nylon/spandex fabric cups are smooth for a seamless appearance under T-shirts and clingy knits. Kicked-in shoulder straps prevent slippage and provide additional support. A great all-day, everyday bra!
B.tempt’d, a brand of Wacoal, is an ideal collection for the mid-range category. These dazzling, sophisticated and flirty bras offer the support a woman needs combined with luxurious style. This collection includes non-molded, molded and push-up style bras. The Lace Kiss Bralette (910182) and the Hot Spots Underwire Bra (951154) offer non-molded, lace cups for a natural look. The Lace Kiss Bralette has no underwire and an extended band offering some support. The Hot Spots Underwire Bra obviously has an underwire, with slightly smaller cups for a more tailored appearance.
For a molded style, the b.tempt’d Faithfully Yours Underwire Contour Bra (953108), Full Bloom Underwire Bra (951133) and the Rhapsody in Lace Contour Underwire Bra (953165) are the ideal choice. Each bra has an underwire, molded, contoured cup giving you ample support with lift and shaping for a beautiful bustline. Faithfully Yours has smooth fabric cups and is perfect under clingy knits, T-shirts and sweaters while Full Bloom and Rhapsody in Lace have a lacey finish to the cups for a touch of pizzazz.
Soft Touch Push-Up Underwire Bra (958122) and La Parisienne Push-Up Underwire Bra (958157) give you that added lift. Both have underwire, push-up cups, however the La Parisienne is a demi-style cup and the Soft Touch is a more triangular style cup. Plus the La Parisienne has mesh accents and the Soft Touch is smooth and soft. Very different bras, but both delightful to wear.
Full figured bras are usually designed with maximum support in mind. Again, Wacoal is Camille’s favorite line for consistency in comfort, fit and style. Her number one choice – Awareness Underwire Bra (8556) (no surprise, this is Wacoal’s number one selling bra). The Awareness offers lots of support and goes up to a G cup. It has a hidden underwire with two layers of fabric surrounding an inner sling for the greatest support. In addition, the lace covering the cups is woven tighter on the sides and underneath for extra reinforcement. The full coverage, wide back and four hook-and-eye closure offer smoothing qualities that make this bra truly a top choice of full figure women.
Simone Perele is another fabulous designer of well-designed, sophisticated bras with stylish flair. Made in France, their bewitching designs and captivating charm will have you saying “oooh, la la!” Celeste Full Cup Bra (12M320)is elegant, everyday comfort. All-over French Chantilly lace with underwire cups lined with a sheer mesh for a semi-sheer appearance. Wide shoulder straps are also adorned with lace and offer additional support to this practical and pretty bra.
Inspired by intricate Japanese origami, the Simone Perele Nina Full Cup Bra (185320) is teaming with romance and support. The lower part of the cups bears a unique pleated accent while the upper portion boasts delicate Leavers lace for a stunning combination. An underwire offers support for this enchanting full cup bra.
