Without a doubt, my preference runs to the older stretchy soft cups, the ones that would let the twins "swing free" Something like this:

Is probably the best example I could easily find. . . The style used to be very common.

Or when I was smaller. . .something along the lines of the Rudy Gemrich NoBra bra. .

Ah, the good old days when I could claim to be a 36B

They are both cute and maybe if I was 30 years younger I would have a few like them. :) Sadly I am past that age and even my small 36B's have a bit of sag to them now so I go for something with a little more support. :( I do remember those bras form back in the days and all the headlights they revealed, :mrgreen: not for a 60 year old woman like me though.

I need a size 54 Bra, Witch can be hard to find, and find a comfy bra at the
same time. I found Comfort Choicet from Womans With-Inn are both comfy,
and help with shaping with out needing forms.
I can fill out a "B" cup just nicely, but when I use my forms, I use a DD bra.
I generally just wear my "B" cup bra as under dressing goes, but when I wear
a dress, then the forms come out with the "DD" bra.

I remember when these bras were in their "prime". That was back in the 70's and everyone wanted that "no bra" look and these certainly accomplished that! :) I was out by then and had a few like it, then again I was wearing forms and just a 34 or 36B so I could get away with it. My 3 sisters on the other hand were all D cup or larger and never went that way. I suppose on a young girl with firm and smaller breasts they might work but as a D cup myself now, no way!

The last thing an ample woman needs is anything swinging free. Looks like two kids fighting under a bed sheet. The bras shown are cute and sexy for smaller, firm, natural breasts. Doubtful they would hold forms in place unless glued on.

There's a possibility in between of an ample woman doing a controlled swinging. I know because it happened to me today. I did look (which is kind of involuntary) and she just responded like that.

I got all nostalgic looking at those bras, unfortunately the two I had went with a purge many years ago. I couldn't wear them now as the nipple show would look like car headlights, for an elderly gal I don't think that would be appropriate

Deidre is 100% correct about these bras and I even had a few back then. Then again I was a perky A cup so I could get away with them. I have to agree with Eileen and sadly way too many women who shouldn't have worn a bra like that were. Led to some interesting sights though! :shock:

The Cosabella from Nordstrom's is cute although not for most women. I can picture my step granddaughters, ages 20, 17, and 15, wearing something like that but for a woman over 35 it would never work.
