A quick note on sizing for the Spanx The Nudist Unlined Wireless Bra. I wear 30F (65F) in Ewa Michalak's PL and 3D bras. I wear 32D in Empreinte's Irina molded cup plunge bra. I wear Passionata's Brooklyn molded plunge bra in 30F. Spanx Nudist bra gives me the same forward projection I get in the above mentioned bras. The forward projection means my side tissue is well contained. I only realized this today, while trying on many wireless bras at Nordstrom Rack. A good amount of projection is an indicator of adequate side tissue coverage. The color I got is called Naked 2.0 on the Spanx website. ... They should have called it beige. Nudist also comes in black.
The other surprise was sizing. I tried 36D, 34D, and 32D. The 34D was best. I'll edit this review later to give more fit tips. For now, just know 34D fit well. I'm not even saying it fits well for a wireless bra. I mean it fits great for any kind of bra.
Spanx Nudist will, if it is comfortable for 16 hour days, be the perfect travel bra. Unlined bras are easier to pack than lined ones, especially padded molded ones. If I can get great shape from a bra that is unlined AND wireless, it'll be a packing dream.
Details to come. I'm exhausted from trying on bras.
Edited to add after a full day of wear:
Spanx's The Nudist Unlined Wireless in 34D pulls my breasts so front and center, the nipples are only 6" apart after swooping and scooping. The internal slings press side tissue forward. A few months ago, I realized my breasts, despite their round appearance from the front, and the centered appearance of the nipples from the front view, must be fuller in the center gore area than I realized. Viewed from above, the nipples angle slightly outward. This tissue fullness, combined with what must be unusual firmness, explains why even in plunges I don't get Y cleavage, despite having no space between the boobs. In Spanx Nudist, I get Y cleavage. This mellows out with wear.
Spanx Nudist provides a lot of lift compared to the Chantelle Aéria Wireless Bra and a wireless Rosa Faia I have yet to identify. The Rosa Faia provided what I thought was an exceptional fit for a wireless. I still think it's an excellent wireless bra, but the shaping is not as underwire defying as the Nudist's. I'll add more fit info later.
