For pity's sake. Ewa Michalak manages to use strong enough mesh to support all cup sizes...

Although I have to say, planning for boob sweat wouldn't convince me that Freya thinks big boobs can be sexy, haha. <br /><br />Bratabase, that may be true (I think different boobs take on different shapes and how far forward they project depends on a lot more than just the band size) but as I mentioned in my post, the support in my Arabella didn't change when I removed the lining, so even if that if is their intention, I don't think it's especially effective or necessary.Bras I Hatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07692999972337398680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706716744772949852.post-46868873414239151462011-11-20T14:01:39.832-08:002011-11-20T14:01:39.832-08:00Regarding the 30GG/32G example, actually the 30GG ...Regarding the 30GG/32G example, actually the 30GG cups' project more forward than the 32G, and more than a 34FF, and more than a 36F, and so on.<br /><br />They probably add the lining to support cups that project forward more, which may be needed in some heavier breasts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706716744772949852.post-69346539528350882632011-11-20T06:11:53.486-08:002011-11-20T06:11:53.486-08:00Huh, the only reason I can think of is possibly it...Huh, the only reason I can think of is possibly it's because of sweat? They assume the larger cup sizes need that extra lining because women tend to have underboob sweat? I thought of it because one of my sports bras has an extra bit of lining underneath the breast...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08978428709634320148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706716744772949852.post-76825676315922303322011-11-20T05:47:14.361-08:002011-11-20T05:47:14.361-08:00@CurvyWordy, if you decide to do it, I'd be cu...@CurvyWordy, if you decide to do it, I'd be curious to know how it works out! I wish I'd taken photos of the bra so I could do a tutorial thingy, as I've seen people asking online if it's possible to do. <br /><br />@Christine, from what I can tell Freya isn't always willing to change their ways based on customer comments. From their response to disappointment over the Nieve longline on Facebook etc, it seemed like they were committed to sticking to their guns... Hopefully if more people bring this stuff up they will pay more attention. <br /><br />@Bratabase--that's true, Panache is also guilty of double-lining their bigger cup sizes, as I mentioned in my post on the Eliza bra. To my knowledge, though, they usually add the lining just to the sheer upper section--I don't know of any completely sheer bras they've produced (though I could be wrong). It's still totally unfair, though.<br /><br />@En Bouton--it's not SUPER stretchy, but it has a little give in it. As far as I can tell, most bras that have a double lining have one layer of the lining with a little stretch. I guess it's possible it does serve some function that I'm not aware of. One possibility is that it increases comfort, being softer/less itchy than mesh alone...Bras I Hatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07692999972337398680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706716744772949852.post-73484109360477605562011-11-20T05:13:21.432-08:002011-11-20T05:13:21.432-08:00Since cup sizes change proportionally to band size...<i>Since cup sizes change proportionally to band sizes, a 30GG (which would get the extra lining) is the SAME CUP SIZE as the 32G (which would not get the extra lining). The ONLY DIFFERENCE between those sizes is the band. If the unlined version can support a 38G, it would also be able to support up to a 28JJ. I keep waiting for bra manufacturers to pay some attention to this fact. Do they just not know about it?</i><br /><br />This kind of thing mystifies me. Whilst I'm guessing that 28JJ and 38G might require different construction (the 28JJ bra has to give the same amount of support, distributed across a much shorter band), is there really a significant difference between 30GG and 32G/34FF?<br /><br />I didn't know that the Arabella's extra lining was stretchy... that's bizarre.En Boutonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10807060294543223882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706716744772949852.post-8143410338927067412011-11-19T22:09:23.851-08:002011-11-19T22:09:23.851-08:00I was just told by a Bratabase user how Panache al...I was just told by a Bratabase user how Panache also does this with some models (Eliza), although they don't list them as a different model which Freya does.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706716744772949852.post-21161872561646705172011-11-19T19:09:35.309-08:002011-11-19T19:09:35.309-08:00Definitely noticed this too.

You're such a rebel ;-) I have an Eleanor sitting here waiting to be listed on eBay...maybe I'll take my sewing scissors to it instead and see what happens.<br /><br />Seriously though, you make a fair point. If the inner lining is not required for additional support, why on earth do they add it? It costs them more to buy the extra material so surely they must think it serves some sort of purpose? Like you say, it must be because they think we do not want sheer bras...but as with anything, if you can't get it then of course you want it in the worst way!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10237765677705226769noreply@blogger.com
