Your Bra Cup - Cut & Sewn

Molded and seamless bra cups are very popular in the states. In Europe, the molded/ seamless bra is gaining popularity, but still more often than not one will find European women wearing cut & sewn bra cups. What are cut & sewn bra cups? Any guesses . . . its a seamed cup bra - made out of two to three pieces of fabric that are cut and sewn together to create one bra cup.

Have you even been to a mall or other people gathering place and watched the women as they walked past you? If you have, then you would see a bunch of wiggly, jiggly bouncing breasts on women's bodies. This is the result of our obsession with the seamless bra and our affinity for tight knit shirts.

Women wear clingy, stretchy knits because they feel it fatters their figure - it stretches over the large breasts, while shrinking back to show the (slim) waist. In the age of the clingy knit, bra makers came out with the seamless bra. But then, nipples started showing because we were wearing tight knit shirts with seamless bras, so molded bras were introduced. These bras sell like hotcakes. Still, Fantasie's 4520 is a well liked solution among our clients.

In a seamed cup bra, place the nipple at the cross hair of the seams - right where they intersect if its a three part seamed cup. That little bit of pressure will go a long way in preventing your headlights from showing. Cut and sewn cups prevent stretching of the bra cup, providing excellent support and precise fitting. And finally they give a beautiful shape.

So what's our recommendation for the full bust woman? Wear a seamed cup bra underneath your Bratique Helene shirts and you'll look and feel like a million dollars.
