Best Minimizer Bras and Full Figure Bras According to Oprah Winfrey

I will admit, I am one amongst the ranks of many people who religiously watch the Oprah Winfrey show and often heed the advice of this American icon. From relationship advice to yes, advice about the almighty brassiere, Oprah always peeks my interest. One of her revolutionary shows was on bras, where it was revealed that about 85% of all women were not wearing the correct size. Naturally, I wanted to determine whether or not I fell into that “mis-sized” majority, so for the first time, I got myself properly fitted for a bra. Guess what? I had been wearing the wrong size, in fact, I was way off the mark. I highly recommend you find our your correct bra size, you'll need a bra sizes chart for this.

Wacoal’s Slimline Seamless Minimizer Bra

My love affair with Oprah’s bra picks was when I first tried her highly recommended Wacoal’s Slimline Seamless Minimizer Bra. It’s won a couple of Undie Awards for the favorite minimizer bra, and I know why. It is next to impossible to beat its comfort, I can wear it multiple days in a row with no problem, And, for crying out loud, it works! The molded fabric used in the cups is more rigid than what’s used in other minimizer bras, so it has superior minimizing capabilities. It also doesn’t get all stretched out and frayed over time.

Le Mystere Dream Tisha Bra, #955

Of course, when I found out about Oprah‘s favorite bra, Le Mystere Dream Tisha 955 Bra, I was headed right out to get it. I told you I trust Oprah. I am a comfort seeker, no doubt, and I hate having an uncomfortable bra. Nothing is going to ruin my day more quickly. I like the super wide straps on this bra for that reason, plus they offer a lot of support and can be custom fit since they are adjustable. This bra is great for the full-figured woman as well as an average-sized woman. The lined cups give you that extra support you need. I have large breasts and often end up wearing minimizer bras to ensure extra support, but I get the proper support with the Le Mystere Dream Tisha Bra. Like Wacoal’s minimizer bra, it keeps its shape without getting stretched out over time. It’s seamless, so it looks great under clothes. The only disadvantage I will share is it’s not the most beautiful bra, it is a nice, simple design though. I like it strictly for its functionality. Le Mystere Dream Tisha Bra does come in a fancier, lacy version. The big disadvantage here, however, is it is no longer smooth and seamless. Finally, you will love how the cups are lightly lined, you will be hidden where you want to be, if you know what I mean.

Felina Hint of Skin Bra

This is a newer bra I’ve added to my collection. I was a little hesitant at first because I am large breasted and I was worried it might make the girls appear even bigger. I must say, I am disappointed in this bra. It just doesn’t seem to hit in the correct places. Its claim to fame is how it eliminates that “back fat look”, which it may, but it just rests too high. It almost gives that uniboob look because it pushes the breasts very close together. Not to mention it’s sorely lacking in the comfort department. Finally, it really doesn’t seem to be well-crafted. It’s stretched and the bra straps are beginning to unhitch from the cups. I am probably spoiled by my Wacoal and Le Mystere, but I expect a lot more from a bra. It might, just might, work better for women with smaller breasts. I cannot say. However, the lack of quality makes this bra one I cannot recommend. If you are above a C-cup, I say don’t go there.

If you have “the sag factor” you are going to love the Chantelle Graphie T-Shirt bra. I practically lived in this little gem all summer long. This, like the Wacoal is a great everyday bra, comfortable, affordable and molds your breasts in a very flattering shape. It also lifts a little, which is great for aging women and those of us who have saggy “nursing breasts”. All in all one of the best full figure bras.

Yes, finally beautiful bras that actually provides a lot of support! It can be very difficult to find attractive bras that simultaneously provide functionality, but these two bras have both. They are fantastic for the full-figured woman who needs optimal coverage, contour and support.They are also perfect special occasion bras, particularly the Freya Tallulah, it’s great for low cut dresses and tops.
