Today, however, I am breaking my rule. Here is why. A few months ago, I tried the Pure Plus t-shirt bra made by the 25 year old Canadian firm, Montelle Intimates for their newly revitalized Essentials Collection. Quite simply, it has become one of my “go to” bras. It was in my suitcase for three separate trips abroad last month; I donned it last week for a trek into the NY market and I have it on now while I write this diatribe. It has survived my “wear” and “flair” test: long hours without losing lift while still maintaining a modicum of feminine allure. This bra (9020), available up to a size 42G, is so whisper light that I do not remember it is there, even after a long day. Ultra-soft lace side panels and center gore take it from boring basic to basic beautiful. No wonder their by-line is: Everyday basics just got better.
