Bits about the Bra

The bra is the singular foundation piece that can make the simplest yet most dramatic effect in the way in which your clothes look on your body.  

Most women don’t know as much about bras as they should.  In fact, most women have no idea what bra size they truly are!  Ask any lingerie sales women and they will tell you that most of their customers wear the wrong size bra or have no idea what size they are at all.  Bras also have an expiration date and must be replaced every 72 wears.  They have a lifespan and just can not do the job you bought them for once they are past so many wears.  

Wearing the correct bra size and finding the right style for your body can make all the difference.  For the bra to accentuate all the right curves, it must fit!  The wrong bra can ruin the appearance of an otherwise amazing top; the right bra can make an otherwise plain top make you look amazing!

A note here to those with a more petite bust size; you may think that the bra topic does not apply to you, that you do not really need to wear a bra.  Well you are wrong.  The right bra is still going to support and define your subtle curves, making them look their best.

How do you know if your bra does not fit:

Common bra fit problems

· Back of the bra rides up

· Shoulder straps dig in

· Breasts Bulge out of cup

· Wire Stands away at the front of the bra

· Bra moves when arms are raised

I highly recommend having a professional fit you.  Most of the better department stores will have lingerie specialists trained to measure you correctly.  If you don’t have a good experience at first, please persist and try again.  

Good fit and comfort are worth the effort.
