Here at JAS, we discovered a bra we really like: Warner's "Elements of BlissWire" underwire bra. One of our real-secretary reviewers, Lori from downtown, had this to say:
"This (Elements of Blisswire bra from Warner's) is very comfortable. It doesn't pinch or poke anywhere. The cups are especially comfortable. First of all, they're very soft. Secondly, they're lightly padded so they give your bust a nice, smooth shape."
Does Lori usually wear padded bras?
"No," she said. "I usually wear sports bras. But this bra took years off my physique because of the way it lifts. It gives good support and it molds your boobs, makes them perky and youthful. But the cups are soft. It isn't completely obvious that you're wearing molded cups every minute of the day. These are just so soft and light, I don't feel like I'm wearing one of those old-fashioned boulder-holders."
Warner's describes the Elements of BlissWire bra as having "light contour cups" offering "great shaping without show-through, an a soft lining adds up to complete comfort."
The "great shaping without show-through" jibes with something else Lori told us: "Because it's lightly padded, it gives you headlight protection for when it's cold. For people who don't like having headlights, this is a great bra."
Lori said the straps were thin but still supportive and not flimsy. "They're sturdy and springy," she described. She also added she wasn't aware of the underwire -- which makes sense, since Warner's says "the underwire casing features three layers of fabric for increased softness."
Lori says she'll continue to wear sports bras frequently because she goes to the gym five days a week, but she said of the Elements of Blisswire bra, "This has become my 'nice bra', the bra I wear when I'm dressing up and want to look especially nice, because I love the way it makes me look."
But YOU could enjoy the flattery and comfort of the Elements of BlissWire bra every day of the week, because at a suggested retail price of $32.00, it's an affordable luxury.
