The cup is molded but it’s not stiff—it’s thinner and more flexible than a lot of t-shirt bras I’ve seen which makes it very comfortable and not too bulky. But it’s not as flexible as an unlined bra is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-anyone-planning-to-bra-shop-at-nas#post-2270304 Thu, 07 Jul 2022 19:27:24 +0000 April 2270304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, RF, that looks much like my Simone Perele bras, all of which are contour.</p> <p>Hard to tell in photos.</p> <p> And yes, I do think it's the manufacturer who labels it molded or contour. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-anyone-planning-to-bra-shop-at-nas#post-2270275 Thu, 07 Jul 2022 17:51:23 +0000 RobinF 2270275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now I am confused. This bra is described as contour but looks definitely molded to me. Do the manufacturers use these same descriptors?</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-anyone-planning-to-bra-shop-at-nas#post-2270271 Thu, 07 Jul 2022 17:46:10 +0000 Banoffi 2270271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the reminder! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-anyone-planning-to-bra-shop-at-nas#post-2270267 Thu, 07 Jul 2022 17:41:58 +0000 Suz 2270267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great reminder -- thank you!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-anyone-planning-to-bra-shop-at-nas#post-2270240 Thu, 07 Jul 2022 16:18:09 +0000 Janet 2270240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am completely off of molded bras. They just provide too much extra volume and seem to create a very rounded shape that I have come to realize on a busty person of a certain age can look rather matronly. It means that sometimes a bit of lace texture or a seam might be more visible than I would like under tee shirts, but oh well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-anyone-planning-to-bra-shop-at-nas#post-2270238 Thu, 07 Jul 2022 16:15:46 +0000 Joyce B 2270238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is good to know, thank you, April. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-anyone-planning-to-bra-shop-at-nas#post-2270220 Thu, 07 Jul 2022 15:18:34 +0000 RobinF 2270220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been bra shopping lately and have a hard time finding bras that are NOT molded. I really don't need or want that layer (they never suit my shape and add too much bulk) so it is frustrating. That was in B&amp;M stores. I haven't seen the description "contour" so will need to watch for that.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-anyone-planning-to-bra-shop-at-nas#post-2270213 Thu, 07 Jul 2022 14:36:01 +0000 Angie 2270213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>VERY good tip!</p> <p>Hope you're doing okay with your shoulder.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-anyone-planning-to-bra-shop-at-nas#post-2270207 Thu, 07 Jul 2022 14:18:01 +0000 April 2270207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;Me too, MBFLBD.</p> <p>Another way to think of it: a molded bra will almost stand up on its own.&nbsp; A contour bra will collapse into an accommodating puddle of fabric.</p> <p>Either may be wired or wireless. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-anyone-planning-to-bra-shop-at-nas#post-2270201 Thu, 07 Jul 2022 14:03:02 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 2270201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for that reminder, because I have forgotten on more than one occasion!&nbsp; &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-anyone-planning-to-bra-shop-at-nas#post-2270193 Thu, 07 Jul 2022 13:16:47 +0000 April 2270193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just a reminder that a bra described as having "molded" cups is a bra that wants to inform or direct your shape, while a bra described as "contour" will tend to follow the shape you have.</p> <p>Neither is better or worse, it just depends on what you're looking for.</p> <p> </p>
