I'd never even thought about a bra with seams. I think I need to go look. I actually want my boobs to be more cone shaped. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-it-about-seamed-bras-that-make-them-special#post-177381 Tue, 29 Jun 2010 02:39:19 +0000 Beth 177381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see. All of my bras are seamless contour bras, then. Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-it-about-seamed-bras-that-make-them-special#post-177312 Tue, 29 Jun 2010 00:13:38 +0000 Maya 177312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Contour bras have a thin foam lining that give the cups shape. Seamless bras are all bras without seams. A contour bra is a type of seamless bra, but there are other seamless styles available that do not retain their shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-it-about-seamed-bras-that-make-them-special#post-177301 Mon, 28 Jun 2010 23:42:46 +0000 biscuitsmom 177301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, I'll need to try some next shopping trip.

Bada-bing. She'll be here all week folks. LOL!</p> <p>Maya, I'd be perfectly happy looking smaller. I think I'll take Kim's thought and just go see what I can find. But now I need to know...what's the difference between a contour and a seamless bra? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-it-about-seamed-bras-that-make-them-special#post-176938 Mon, 28 Jun 2010 00:51:48 +0000 tarzy 176938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Angie.

I don't like thin or clingy knits. Some are more disappearing than others too.</p> <p>Personally I have found bras that completely disappear to be a rarity if you wear a lot of thin knits or clingy materials. Wovens and thicker knits usually do not have this problem. </p> <p>Honestly, I don't even care at this point if a little bit of bra shows through. Anything is better than having wide-set smooth mounds of flesh hanging on my ribcage (sorry for the vivid detail). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-it-about-seamed-bras-that-make-them-special#post-176909 Sun, 27 Jun 2010 23:47:13 +0000 Queen Mum 176909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beth- go try some on and take a few different tops with you to see what you think.<br /> Biscuits... I do think the seam might show a bit in some knit tops, you just have to give it a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-it-about-seamed-bras-that-make-them-special#post-176907 Sun, 27 Jun 2010 23:38:33 +0000 biscuitsmom 176907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I havent tried a seamed bra on in years, but I know in the (distant) past the seams showed thru on almost every top! aagghh...is it still that way? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-it-about-seamed-bras-that-make-them-special#post-176904 Sun, 27 Jun 2010 23:03:48 +0000 Maya 176904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kim! You are an excellent pupil. You got it spot on. </p> <p>I'll add that they will last longer since the material isn't stretchy or collapsible. </p> <p>If I were brave enough to have my boobs analyzed by strangers on the internet, I would post a picture of me wearing a top with a seamed bra, seamless bra, and contour bra. The difference is quite striking. I look about 2 sizes bigger in a contour bra, and much wider and heavier in a seamless. If you are less well endowed, looking bigger might actually be desirable, and smaller bustlines (C cup or less) don't need as much support, so a contour bra is fine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-it-about-seamed-bras-that-make-them-special#post-176903 Sun, 27 Jun 2010 22:59:54 +0000 Beth 176903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A balloon of icing, LOL! Now there's a mental image! </p> <p>I admit I'm not sure I've ever even noticed seamed bras beyond a peripheral glance. Never even considered them. Still, better lift and shaping would be nice as long as it doesn't give me cone-boob. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-it-about-seamed-bras-that-make-them-special#post-176901 Sun, 27 Jun 2010 22:54:26 +0000 Queen Mum 176901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>a world of difference Beth... yes, more support and better shaping. The non seamed really don't allow for any shaping.. they hold you up, but that is about it. I honestly think I look smaller in my seamed bras. I notice darts are filled out better, my breasts are more centered and I especially love how I look in a knit top.<br /> I'm still wearing my non seamed bras, but my next few bra purchases will definitely be seamed!<br /> Think of the difference between filling a pastry bag with icing as opposed to filling a balloon with icing... that is the difference. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-it-about-seamed-bras-that-make-them-special#post-176900 Sun, 27 Jun 2010 22:47:31 +0000 Beth 176900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya, I'm particularly directing this at you:)</p> <p>I saw Kim tried one on recently and she was wowed. Do the seams just add additional support? Or is it shaping? Or both? </p>
