Glamorise Wonderwire Front-Closure Bra Plus Size (Style C1JB)

In this review of the Glamorise Wonderwire Front-Closure Bra Underwire #1245, the bottom line is clear: this bra is for curvy women seeking comfortable, dependable everyday support with an easier on-and-off fit. The single biggest reason to consider it is the padded underwire, which uses WONDERWIRE TECHNOLOGY to add a cushion barrier so the wire does not poke or irritate, making it one of the more comfortable underwire options in plus sizes. It pairs that comfort with lace-topped cups and side-bust control for a shaping effect without feeling overly constrictive.

Key Features

• Wonderwire padding: The padded underwire cushions the ribcage and prevents wire poke while keeping the shaping benefits of an underwire.
• Front closure: The secure front clasp makes the bra easier to put on and remove, especially for those who prefer not to reach behind their back.
• Side-bust control: Lace-topped cups include structural side panels that help center and shape breast tissue for a smoother silhouette.
• Wide cushioned straps: The straps are broader and padded to reduce shoulder pressure and allow for a more customized fit.
• Heritage design: Designed in New York with a long history of plus-size fit experience, the cut aims to suit curvy shapes based on decades of refinement.

Who It's For

This bra is best for plus-size women who want the support and shaping of an underwire without the common discomfort; the padded wire and side-bust control make it a good daily option for office wear or long days on the go. It is also a strong pick for anyone who values an easier fastening method, since the front clasp removes the need to fasten at the back.

Shoppers who need an exact, tight fit should be cautious: some customers report sizing runs small, so those between sizes or who prefer a looser band may want to try on or size up. If you want a completely wireless, soft-cup feel, this underwire style may not be the ideal choice.
