This is what a 42C brassiere looks like... with an extender because I need a larger band. I've been wearing this brassiere that last week and love what it does to my breasts. Yes, we have wide set breasts that don't tend to be "perkie." An underwire brassiere pulls the mass of our breasts together. Personally I prefer the unlined cups which are often called minimizers.
I wholeheartedly agree with everything within your reply!!!! On a side note…I am currently in a 42C as well. I think you complimented mine when I was in a tank top layered with a flannel shirt previously….
Although my boobs aren’t as wide set as some, the overall control and support I get with a minimizer underwire is exactly what I want (need) when I’m in public most.
I have a few Bali unlined / non-underwire bras, as well as a couple of Playtex 18 hour Ultimate Lift & Support Wireless bras. The Bali I have are good in that the bands are wider (the ones I have are a four hook back closure, which is kind of unique in an 42C) and that portion of the support is fantastic!!! They also tend to not roll up under my boobs as much, but that ultimately depends on my activities at any given time.
The above mentioned Playtex are good, too…but a 42C in almost anything else seems to be a 42B in that exact model of Playtex. I then get a bit of boob spillage out of the top of the cups. The 42C in the Playtex swallows them whole…
My go-to minimizing bras are the Vanity Fair. I can bop into almost any WalMart, Kohls, or Belk and find them. The underwires are the most comfy; they never poke under my armpits. The minimizing action of the cups is good in that they are not only good at reducing the projection, but they also keep my nipple protrusion down. My only real downfalls for this bra (and that particular Playtex I discussed above) is the back hook closure could be smoother (read: much less visible under shirts) and I wish the strap adjusters weren’t in the back as well.
Although my complaints above may be petty to some, each passing day I get a little closer and closer to the “I don’t give a crap what others think” yardline….especially if I’m out of town, and will never see any of the people I’m around anytime soon again anyway.
