Sponsored Review: Vanity Fair® Look Lifted Underwire Bra




Last week I received the box of Vanity Fair® bras and underwear I'd have to wear for an upcoming review and, upon first glance, I quickly shoved them back into the box. I initially didn't like what I saw and I absolutely will not "push" a product that I'm not in love with.

But a few days ago, as I was preparing to pack them up for return shipment, I thought I'd give them another chance. So I reluctantly pulled the underthings out again, chose the Vanity Fair® Look Lifted Underwire Bra, hooked it around my waist, twisted it, and pulled the straps over my shoulders, expecting to hate it. But as I adjusted the bra to fit my body, I was pleasantly surprised by the fit and the comfort and quality of it. The element of surprise usually makes me like an item even more as it has far exceeded my expectations, and this bra did just that.

I'm very picky about my bras, as I'm sure you are as well. Comfort is obviously first on my list of prerequisites, but a close second is how a bra makes my "girls" look under clothes. Fitted garments are the ultimate test really and I'm looking for a nice rounded and shapely look. I don't want to be smashed or falling out or even pushed in too closely (spacing is important to overall balance and proportion!). My 36-year-old "girls" do need a bit of a push up, so I like the soft molded lined but not padded cups, which are also great when worn under a T-shirt or a blouse for a smooth appearance. I'm extremely happy to report that the Vanity Fair® Look Lifted Underwire Bra does all that I ask for in a bra. It's kind of like it was designed exactly for my body. And to think I was going to just send it back!


I've been wearing it for two days now and will continue to do so. I actually love it.

Would LOVE to enter but Vanity Fair doesn't make my size. :P I got a fitting at Jeanette Bras on Melrose in LA. I'm a 34 F or G depending on brand and style. which isn't as insane as it sound since I'm 6 ft. tall.

Vanity Fair has some nice simple bras that would be great under anything.

Kimberly said...

I prefer the front close one.

I can't quite tell from the descriptions whether I'd like the Look Lifted or Advanced Support T-shirt bra - whichever has the least padding :)

usually these brands suck a bit. They don't know any letter larger than DD and the band sizes don't go under a 32 at the most.

I wonder how low these go. I am a 30 band size and a FF in the cup...lots of great brands out there for that. Freya, Panache, Cleo, Fantasie.

This bra is pretty. I love to try the Body Shine Floral Contour Underwire bra. Seems very comfortable.

I usually don't go for bras that lift as they tend to lift TOO much, but I wouldn definitely try Vanity Fair's after seeing how cute it looks in your picture.

Wish I would have ordered something different that has more firm support. The playtex underwire bra is good, but I was hoping that it the cami would have given me a better hold.
