They looked very similar to me so I thought I'd buy both and see what the difference was.  One question/reviewer on the SPACER bra stated that it was simply a matter of nicer and thicker fabric.  This is NOT correct.  A spacer bra is supposed to do exactly what it says, space your breasts apart.  For this bra at least it has nothing to do with the quality of the fabric. The Spacer fabric does have far less stretch/give which is intentionally done to keep your breasts from squeezing together.  The Embellished bra is a memory foam and therefore will conform more to your natural shape rather than forcing them apart with stiffer fabric.  For reference I am a 36C/D and did not want my breast to be spaced apart.

PROS and CONS for both:

STRAPS:
- Spacer bra has thicker and more padded straps than the Embellished bra.
- Embellished bra has a non-slip silicone type grip on the underside of the strap that really DO work.  No slippage at all.
-Embellished bra straps are thinner, more standard thickness, no padding or cushion on the straps.

LACE DETAILS:
-Both bras are pretty and have lace details but in different places.
-Spacer bra lace is on the side panels all the way around the body that hangs down slightly over the seam. Therefore itchier and you can definitely feel it on your ribs and back.
-Embellished bra has lace stitched to the side panels with no overhang so you can't feel the lace at all.  Less noticeable as the lace is under your armpit area.
-Both panels have a lace triangle between the breasts, no noticeable difference in feel/look.

COVERAGE:
- Spacer bra has more coverage on the cups so less overflow.
-Embellished bra is softer and conforms more to your cups.

FABRIC:
-Spacer bra feels cheaper, more stiff and scratchy with absolutely NO stretch at all in the cups (again, intended to shape/space your breasts apart).
-Spacer bra fabric is stiff, so much so that the bra was bent in the package and the crease remains even after machine washing twice.
- Embellished bra is a soft memory foam and is actually soft to the touch all around, including the straps. No creasing after packing it and travelling and bending it all around in my drawer and washing machine.

THE VERDICT:
Maidenform One Fab Fit Extra Coverage Embellished Underwire lace bra with nonslip straps is more comfortable, softer, and most likely better suited to more breast shapes as the memory foam will conform to each body easily.
