Mia Leimkuhler, Strategist senior manager of audience engagement, is a former Feathers devotee who has since switched to the Flora, which is very similar but has a thinner cup material.ģ4B–42C | Underwire | T-style style, extra-wide side-coverage panels Parsons fashion-marketing student Tammy Lee is another devotee, describing how the bra makes “your boobs look natural while being held up.” It’s the top seller for shoppers with A through G cups at New York City’s Bra Tenders, according to store founder Lori Kaplan, who says the lightweight, seamless, deep-plunge bra works under T-shirts “but still has some feminine effects.” Natori also takes the title of Most-Mentioned Bra Brand, earning rave reviews from our panelists. Writer Molly Lamoureux calls this bra “the unicorn of undergarments” for its comfort and support. The Feathers took the gold in this guide because it fulfills everything we were looking for: It comes in a range of sizes features lightly lined, contoured cups and has straps that become wider as you move up into larger sizes for more support. The cult favorite turned classic Natori Feathers has been a Nordstrom Anniversary Sale best seller with Strategist readers for three years running. Underwire: As former Strategist writer Chloe Anello helpfully explains: “Without an underwire, the band is essentially responsible for support,” which is why an ill-fitting bra “will cause your straps to slip and cups to feel loose.” Along with support, the “underwire’s job is to shape the base of the cup and thus the rest of the breast,” undergarment educator Kimmay Caldwell previously told me.ģ0A–38DD | Underwire | T-shirt-style cups, lightly lined, molded mesh Or, put another way, a 36AA is roughly the same as a 34A, a 34B is about equivalent to 32C, and so on.
