Quick answer

Choose the Ushuaya Molded Bra for a seamless, smooth shape under fitted tops, or the Ushuaya Curvy Bra if you have a small frame with a fuller bust and need extra support from side slings and power mesh.

Why cup construction matters

The Molded Bra uses one-piece molded underwire cups that are non-padded and unlined but still hold their shape. This gives a smooth, invisible look under clothing—ideal for T-shirts or thin knits. The Curvy Bra, in contrast, relies on non-padded cups with side slings and power mesh lining. Those additions are designed to lift and center heavier busts without adding bulk, but the seams may show under very clingy fabrics.

Support for different body types

Both bras share the same rigid semi-sheer lace and adjustable straps, but the support system differs. The Molded Bra is a straightforward underwire that works well for average busts on any frame. The Curvy Bra is specifically engineered for those with small frames and full busts—its side slings and power mesh create a firmer hold that reduces bounce and prevents the band from riding up.

Trade-offs at a glance

  • Seamless shape vs. seamed support: Molded Bra gives a smooth, invisible finish. Curvy Bra uses seams from side slings and power mesh, which offer more lift but may appear under thin fabrics.
  • Bust capacity: Molded Bra suits average busts. Curvy Bra is built for full busts on small frames—its side slings prevent spillage and keep the band secure.
  • Price difference: Molded Bra is USD 100.80 (was USD 140.00). Curvy Bra is USD 96.00 (was USD 160.00). Both are on sale, with the Curvy offering a larger discount. If support is your priority, the Curvy Bra delivers more engineering for less money.
