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.
I have a question...what about linings? I never see this come up. I will only wear an unlined bra, aka a soft bra, in the home. Outside, I'm too uncomfortable and worried that parts of my anatomy will poke through the bra. 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.
I seem to see:
unlined
lined with an extra layer
molded cup
padded cup.
These seem to go from thinnest to thickest. Here is an ad that I'm not sure about. An unlined, molded cup. I guess I'm not sure the difference between lined and molded, and which provides more thickness/coverage.
