When NBC's Access Daily asked bra expert Jené Luciani Sena for alternatives to the uncomfortable bra, she brought Shapeez. In this 79-second segment she explains why she has been a fan for years, and she's wearing one on air.
A supportive underwire, full-coverage bra built into a cami, so you get lift in front and coverage all around.
No narrow band in back. The full-coverage back smooths bumps and bulges instead of creating them.
Jené wears hers under a form-fitting dress and suggests it under sheer summer tops.
Shapeez bras come in dozens of band and cup sizes. The Ultimate comes in 38.
Jené Luciani Sena is the author of The Bra Book and a longtime bra expert on national TV, including NBC's Today and Access Daily. In this Access Daily segment on alternatives to the uncomfortable bra, she featured Shapeez, a brand she said she had been a fan of for years.
Her reason: Shapeez melds two staples into one, a supportive underwire full-coverage bra and a cami. On the set she showed bra and dress-length styles, then turned the mannequin to show the back: full coverage that smooths bumps and bulges, where most bras leave you with just a band. She was wearing one under her own form-fitting dress during the segment.
0:00Host: Welcome back to Access Daily. We have all been there, right? You get home after a long day of work and you want to rip off that uncomfortable bra. Well, don't worry, ladies. Joining us now with new and innovative alternatives to that uncomfortable bra is bra expert Jené Luciani Sena.
0:15Jené: Thanks for having me.
0:17Host: I could not wait to talk to you. You say there are more bra alternatives now than ever.
0:22Jené: So, I've been a fan of this brand, Shapeez, for years, because they kind of melded together two very important staples: a supportive underwire, full-coverage bra with a cami. And they also have kind of like the dress length too, as you can see. But you're getting that support that you need in 37 sizes, so something for everyone.
0:42Jené: And if you can see the back, I don't know if you want to spin it around: full coverage in the back, full smoothing of all the bumps and bulges. That's a big thing. A lot of times the back is left open. We do the front, but your back...
0:55Jené: Yeah. I'm actually wearing one of them right now, so you can see how seamless and smoothing it is. And I love this with the form-fitting dress.
1:03Host: That's great.
1:04Jené: Exactly. Or under a sheer top for the summer, what have you.
1:07Host: Speaking of summer. Jené, great to see you. You look great in your dress, with it all working. For more great bra tips, check out Jené Luciani Sena's social media. Stick around, y'all. We'll be right back.
Jené Luciani Sena is a bra expert and the bestselling author of The Bra Book (2009). She has appeared as an expert on national shows including NBC's Today and Access Daily, where her bra segments are a regular feature.
She said she has been a fan of Shapeez for years because the brand melds two staples into one: a supportive underwire, full-coverage bra and a cami. She also pointed out the full back coverage that smooths bumps and bulges, and wore Shapeez under her own form-fitting dress during the segment.
Most bras focus on the front and leave the back to a narrow elastic band, which can dig in and create bulges. Shapeez bras replace the band with a smooth, full-coverage back, so you get underwire support in front and a smooth line all the way around.
Yes. That is exactly how Jené wears hers. In the segment she has one on under a form-fitting dress and suggests it under a sheer top in summer, because the smooth back leaves no band lines.
Yes. Along with bra and cami lengths, Shapeez makes a full slip with a built-in bra, the dress-length style Jené shows in the segment.
In the segment Jené mentions 37 sizes. Today the Ultimate comes in 38 sizes. Use the Shapeez size guide or contact the fit team to find yours.
