Selecting the correct bra is said to be very difficult for GGs, leaving us with an even more daunting task, however much we enjoy the task. From pictures in some other forums I visit, I became interested in checking out Vanity Fair bras. So, off to Kohls with forms-in-bra for some shopping!
Well, first disappointment. None of the sheer bras I had interest are in the store. Well, there are other Vanity Fair bras, so I picked up, in 38D, a full figure, a back smother, a contour cup, and sheer bra from Lilly-of-France in a 36C, the largest size they had. Off to the changing room to try on.
The sheer bra was nice as sheer bras are, but really didn’t fit. Too tight in the band and the band was really too narrow. Also, my forms were really squished into the cups. Next was the full figure, where the cups had wrinkles (Oh dear, am I not a D cup?).
The back smother was my favorite. The wide band really did smooth the band lumps and the rubber grip on the bottom of the band did seem to keep the back down. Don’t know for sure until I wear it for extended times. The cups fit perfectly (whew) and resulted in a firm but soft breast feel. Some jiggle was evident (more on this later). The contour cup was interesting in that it had the most uplift and produced some real teen-aged boobies, firm and high.
Well, the back smoother was on sale for the past few weeks for $20, but now was back to $29, so I didn’t purchase any, thinking I would check out Lady Grace for a better price. Well, last evening I had a chance to underdress for a couple hours. I put on my Sears Fundamentals underwire microfiber bra and forms. The big difference became clearly evident. The Sears bra results in much softer boobs. I can even shimmy and have them flying left and right. The feel is very real. So, as much as I like the Back Smoother, I don’t need another bra that I only kind-of-like.
I would be interested in hearing from other on their bra buying experiences.
