Longline Bra?

yes, have one which gives a super shape and "tucks" in the small "sparetyre" around my waist. Just a pitty not sufficent choice (bandwidth and cup sizes available)

Yes, I have one! Agree with Helene about smoothing the shape.

Hi Brienna.....hoping your having a great Christmas season!  As with corsets and waist trainers, if you have a spare tire, it gets squeezed into shape alright but when you bend over, you can hardly breath and your head can feel like it will explode!  Sitting correctly and standing is a-ok. Never wonder why you don't see Victorians/Edwardians and southern belles never sit in the movies and get the "vapours"?  I love the way they look and feel and they are great for shaping and posture, but are beggars to put on. LOL

Very nice, I am looking for a longline bra at the moment, but am strugling to find one in my band size.

I had one with straps, but did not wear it all that often. So I donated it to a local CD group. If I need to :lose a few inches" I have a strapped /strapless bustier, which I remove the straps when I wear my blue  off the shoulder ball gown,.

Tho of course in the photo above I'm wearing s shawl

Sadly my days of being able to wear it to a suitable occasion are over, but the good news in I tried it on a week or so back and it fitted WITHOUT!!!  (YAY!) without the bustier

And here's me thinking I'd put on too much "pud" for that to happen

Happy dressing

PS I also have an under bust corset that will really "do the job" and I used to love being "tightly corseted", especially with one of my period ball gowns over the top.... But I've gone "off" wearing it these days.

I have two of them, and I find them very comfortable to wear.  I love the way they give me a hourglass figure.  Negative points are they are not good when I want to show some cleavage or when I am wearing a top or dress that exposes a large area of my chest.  At least these are the two negative points for the two longline bras I own.

A longline was my first purchase when I went to college decades ago. I am now shopping for one.

One of the first bras I ever purchased was a Playtex longline. Over the years I had several more, but currently don't have any.  Although I'm not currently looking for another, I would certainly purchase and wear the right one if I found it.

I have a few actually and yes I don’t mind then at all except for one that may be a touch small and wants to ride up even with the straps adjusted out.

Hi Brienna

Certain styles with a corset like design be a bit uncomfortable if you are sitting or leaning forward/slouching.
But they look great and I guess they help promote a good posture.

Yes, I like them and have a couple.  The problem I run into is it exaggerates the roll at the bottom of the longline part.  I find it necessary to hide that with a waist cincher.   The whole getup can be uncomfortable over an extended period but I like the smoothing as long as I use the cincher mentioned above.  One nice feature of the ones I have is the front closure which makes them very easy to put on.  I have found that the size does not always cross over just right.  I am a 42C and sometimes the cups seem larger on a longline.  I have a similar problem with body briefers but that's a bit of a different topic.

Thanks,

Are they the same brand across the various styles that you mention? At the least, there is variance between brands…

I have a few longlines and liked to wear them. To me they always created such a grand feeling to wear them! However, 7 years ago I had a mild stroke, became fairly sedentary and I gained about 30 pounds. As a result they no longer fit over my midsection even though the band size didn’t change. When I do get back so that they fit again, I would have to buy new ones as I’m using larger forms these days…

I usually end up with Rago but I have a Courtland intimates also, which I think came from JC Penny. The quality of Rage stuff always seems better to me.
