Today’s Fashion Friday is going to be a bit different because I’m going to do a review and then a giveaway, so keep on reading.
A little while ago I got an email announcing a new product line that was being offered through Fullbeauty.com. Their parent company, OneStopPlus, is a website I’ve been shopping on for the past couple of years. They have fashionable, affordable plus-sized clothes from a variety of different labels, which makes it really convenient. I’ve almost completely stopped shopping in brick and mortar stores because they have everything I need – tops, pants, skirts, dresses, activewear, swimsuits, pjs, and lingerie. So, when I heard about this latest offering, I knew it was something that I needed to pay attention to.
Which brings me to my point. Bras. I like to make sure that I have a good, supportive bra so that the rest of my outfit looks nice. Having a bra with the proper fit is essential to looking my best. And I’m always on the lookout for a comfortable bra, which is sometimes like trying to find the Holy Grail.
Back to Fullbeauty.com’s announcement about a new bra line they were carrying:
OneStopPlus Group announced today that it will be offering plus size bras from Mia by Amoena, an innovative product line that features groundbreaking technology and sophisticated designs, adding to fullbeauty’s definitive selection of bras that serve as wardrobe foundations. Amoena’s line of beautiful lingerie offers the perfect combination of comfort and design with a cut specially developed to ensure reliable fit. Mia by Amoena’s unique patent-pending technology is the world’s first lingerie line with temperature-equalizing Comfort+ technology. Feminine and flirty bras are made from Comfort+ material, an Outlast® fabric densely saturated with micro capsules that regulate and balance fluctuations in a woman’s body temperature. The Comfort+ technology transfers heat away from, and back to, the body as needed, absorbing excess heat during a rise in temperature and gently releasing it when body temperature decreases. Fullbeauty.com will offer Amoena bras in band sizes from 32 to 46 and up to an I cup in select styles; prices range from $66.00 to $77.00. “Fullbeauty.com offers true innovation in design and function and a no-compromise shopping experience,” said Michele Crawbuck, Vice President and Brand Manager, fullbeauty.com.”
I loved the sound of the Comfort+ technology, so I contacted one of their corporate communications managers to ask if I could review and then giveaway one of their bras. And they agreed! (Which just goes to show that sometimes all you need to do is ASK).
The Review
They gave me a variety of choices, and I selected the bra you’ll see in the following photos. The one thing I was worried about was support, since it was a wireless bra, but I am so happy to report that this bra absolutely supported me through a long workday and into the evening. I “test drove” the bra 3 times before writing this review, and I loved it each and every time. In fact, I have it on today.
Beautiful, deep purple color with a nice amount of lace. The great thing is, the lace doesn't show through shirts, even tshirts.
The bra is full-coverage, which I love, but also really pretty. I debated whether or not to take a photo of myself in the bra, but erred on the side of modesty, so you’ll just have to imagine from my descriptions. The bra has slightly padded, comfortable straps that stay where they should but feel light and weightless. I appreciate the fact that once I have the bra on, it stays put – no pulling or tugging needed. As I said, it’s wireless, so it’s ultra comfortable, with nothing pointing out or pinching. And it does an amazing job of supporting me, which is no small feat. In fact, it gives me a nice lift, and makes the cleavage look appealing at the same time.
An explanation of the benefits of Comfort+.
I’m not sure about you, but I can tell you that I usually perspire under the cups of a bra, but when I wear this Mia by Amoena bra, I didn’t at all. That Comfort+ really works!
A very fair price for a bra that is this comfortable and easy to wear. It also washes really nicely.

All in all, I can’t recommend this bra highly enough. I’m definitely going to buy more, and I wanted to make sure that at least one of you would also have an opportunity to try this bra for yourself.
