The T-Shirt Bra - Do you have one?

An anonymous commenter (Rainee) on the BH blog reminded me that I haven't posted about t-shirt bras for the full bust. I am so sorry, I really thought I had already done that.

A t-shirt bra is rather an American phenomenon (especially the molded version) and in general are better suited for the smaller bust-line - and aren't even available past a G cup (save the Prima Donna which goes to an H), but I know there are those of you out there who really want to wear a seamless bra underneath your snug fitting knit tops.

• The best selling molded t-shirt bra for the full bust is Panache's Porcelain Oasis.

• The best selling seamless (sans molding) t-shirt bra for the full bust is Fantasie's Smoothing Balcony. This bra also comes in a full cup version, but we have greater luck in fitting the balcony style. If you are full on the top of the breast, firm, or have been augmented, then the full cup is a good solution.
• Chantelle also has some t-shirt options, as does
• Wacoal, but when one gets into the voluminous cups of FF/G, they aren't as good fitting as the aforementioned.
• We have clients who swear by Prima Donna's t-shirt bra; it also is the most expensive one in the list.
  

I confess I do not own a t-shirt bra. I used to, but ceased wearing clingy knits so I no longer have a need for a t-shirt bra. On the positive side, usually these bras are less expensive than their more structured (seamed) counterparts that have a more rigid (lace or similar) fabrication. Let's suffice it to say there is a reason these bras usually don't come past a G, a breast with more than a G cup worth of tissue needs more support than the t-shirt bra offers.
