I will check that out.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-a-fitting-subject#post-2355457 Mon, 18 Mar 2024 18:45:03 +0000 Ginger 2355457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Carol,</p> <p>I'm not sure about how exactly to answer your question, but the site HerRoom has a lot of fantastic resources for bra fitting:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.herroom.com/bra-fitting-center/">https://www.herroom.com/bra-fitting-center/</a></p> <p>Some of the things I've really found helpful and interesting are the articles on Bra Styles and Breast Anatomy. There's a lot more to this than I realized before, and it makes sense now why I favor certain styles. It helps me when I start searching for something new, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-a-fitting-subject#post-2354981 Wed, 13 Mar 2024 16:37:12 +0000 Carol 2354981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>...I guess I can get a fitting again. There are so many websites online these days where you can put in your measurements and answer a few questions, and get your size. But a real fitting is&nbsp; probably better!!!</p> <p>But again, I was wondering about the shell of the cup. I will have to watch what I buy, but reading online, I see other women have this problem.&nbsp; Thanks for your input, everyone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-a-fitting-subject#post-2354687 Fri, 08 Mar 2024 06:31:15 +0000 Anonymous 2354687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with April, Pheobe and Angie. I highly recommend a professional bra fitting. I was wearing the wrong size and feel so much better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-a-fitting-subject#post-2354635 Thu, 07 Mar 2024 19:01:44 +0000 Angie 2354635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm nodding along with <b>April </b>and <b>Phoebe</b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-a-fitting-subject#post-2354602 Thu, 07 Mar 2024 15:55:03 +0000 phoebe 2354602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not an expert but I believe that "lined" addresses the coverage anxiety you describe, "molded" is a formed to encourage a specific shape </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-a-fitting-subject#post-2354601 Thu, 07 Mar 2024 15:42:44 +0000 April 2354601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can find all kinds of misinformation regarding bra construction but I think trusted experts would say that "molded" bras are the kind that almost stand up on their own, while "contour" bras go with your body's contours.</p> <p>And yes, you can find sites that will say the exact opposite.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-a-fitting-subject#post-2354599 Thu, 07 Mar 2024 15:37:24 +0000 Carol 2354599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ironically, today's blog post is on bras. And I am in the market for a bra or two. Never mind that I'm looking at cheaper brands--I tend to wear and toss after a year, rather than spend $200 and keep it for years.</p> <p>I have a question...what about linings? I never see this come up. I will only wear an unlined bra, aka a&nbsp; soft bra, in the home. Outside, I'm too uncomfortable and worried that parts of my anatomy will poke through the bra.&nbsp; So my typical bra would be a t-shirt bra with sort of a "shell," a molded cup that is thick enough to hide anatomy, but not thick enough to count as padding for a push-up bra.</p> <p>I seem to see:<br />unlined<br />lined with an extra layer<br />molded cup<br />padded cup.</p> <p>These seem to go from thinnest to thickest.&nbsp; Here is&nbsp; an ad that I'm not sure about. An unlined, molded&nbsp; cup.&nbsp; I guess I'm not sure the difference between lined and molded, and which provides more thickness/coverage.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.target.com/p/women-39-s-unlined-molded-lace-bra-auden-8482/-/A-89385686?preselect=83863855#lnk=sametab">https://www.target.com/p/women.....ect=838638</a> </p>
