Grenier Lifestyle 3D Underwire Contour Bra 8493 Reviews

This bra fits well and gives complete side coverage due to wide cups/wire and wide middle insert. My breasts are "splayed" according to the Know Your Breasts Bra Finder, and I have trouble finding bras in an A cup that hold the sides in. These do it. The cup foam is pretty thin, but I don't seem to have any show-through even in air conditioned offices. The label and the thread used for stitching are very stiff and scratchy. Cut the label off right away, as close to the stitching as possible. If you sew, you could remove it and restitch the back closure. The thread ends can be smoothed using a nail file, but they're very irritating otherwise. I have had to file all of the ones I purchased. Deb from Union City/CA/USA

I'm sad that I had to return this bra. The overall design was exactly what I wanted, it fit well and was comfortable. If there hadn't been a stitching flaw where the underwire joined the cup on the inside, I would have given it 5 stars. But I returned it because it gave me an almost flat chest. Seeing the words "contour" and "molded", I hoped it would give my small girls some shape, but the stretchy, unstructured fabric actually compressed them against my body. A great bra for the right person, just not me. Andrea from Minnesota
