Bra Guide


I’ve gotten countless questions from my clients about helping them look their best in their clothing, and the one thing I’ve always tried to stress is “foundation, foundation, foundation”. Foundation garments like bras, body-shapers and such are important for women who want to not only look their best but in many cases feel better too. The right foundation garment provides proper support for the body a nd helps you display all the right curves in all the right places.

For those women who are struggling to lose weight and find that they are developing the “putty shape” in the midriff or “soft puffies” in other areas, a body shaper can help give a toned and firmer look. But for most women, the biggest problem area (and the area in which they make the most mistakes) is in their brassiere.

Most women, interestingly enough, don’t know how to properly measure for a bra. As a result, they go through life with an ill-fitting garment that either is too constricting and can be painful, or fails to give them the appropriate support they need.

An improperly fitted bra can lead to back pain, and discomfort. Fortunately, getting a good fit isn’t as hard as you might think.
For starters, you want to take the measurements while wearing a bra. I know this seems like a paradox, because if you already have a bra, you should know your proper bra size. However, this isn’t true and the purpose for taking measurements while wearing a bra is to make sure that you can get an accurate measure while your breasts are in the proper position. This becomes more important for women as they get older and after changes in their body begin to occur.

tart by taking a soft measuring tape and measure the chest just below the breast. The tape should be level back and front and should fall along the lower band of the bra you’re wearing. The tape should be snug and lie smooth along the skin, but should not be tight or binding. Take this measurement and add 5 inches to the number. This becomes your band size. Next take your tape measure and wrap it around the fullest point along your bust. This measurement is then compared to your band size. You subtract the band size from the bust measurement and use that number to determine your cup size. For every one inch of difference between the band size and bust measure, you have one cup size. In the case of an odd-numbered band size, you will want to try both of the even-number sizes to either direction to get the more comfortable fit. For example: Julia has taken her measurements and her band size is 33, while her bust measurement is 36. That means a difference of 3 inches, which makes her a “C” cup. Her proper bra size is going to be 32-C or 34-C. Here’s a simple chart for cup-size measurements: Bust Size – Band Size = Cup Size Less than 1 inch AA 1 inch A 2 inches B 3 inches C 4 inches D This measuring technique is a great way to ensure the proper fit from your bra. However, you shouldn’t substitute a measurement for simple “hands-on” fitting. Use this measurement to give you a starting point when you begin your bra shopping. Be sure to try on the bra you plan to buy before you leave the store. As with any other item of clothing, sizing can vary from brand to brand, and even from style to style, so there’s no way around “trying it on for size” to ensure a proper fit. Just remember, your bra should be comfortable and should never feel tight or binding. The cups should support the breasts themselves without sagging or seeming “over-full”. The goal here is to create a smooth, shapely silhouette, and a properly fitting brassiere is a key part of reaching that goal.


Sports Bras


If you are one of many women who wears her sexy lace bra to the gym, it’s time to rethink your idea of adequate exercising attire. There are many bra models that are made with the sporty gal in mind, and for good reason: wearing a sports bra is just as imperative as slipping on a proper pair of sneakers!

The consequences of not wearing a sports bra
Wearing the wrong bra when working out could have a negative and irreversible effect on your breasts. A standard bra may reduce your breasts’ movements by 40%, while a bra specially-made for sports will reduce bouncing by more than 70%. Stretched-out ligaments will remain that way, which makes prevention all the more important.

Note that the larger your breasts are, the more damages you may encounter. However, this does not imply that women with smaller breasts need not have the appropriate support while performing physical activities.

What to look for in a sports bra The proper size
According to Hanes design director Raymonder Tranchemontagne, approximately 75% of women wear the wrong bra size. A bra too small in size constricts the chest and prevents proper blood circulation, whereas bras too big in size do not offer your breasts the support they need.

The appropriate fabric

Look for tissues and fabrics that breathe! Synthetic fibres like polyester and lycra are prime sports bra materials, as they don’t trap humidity like cotton does. Therefore, they assure you maximum comfort with minimum irritation.

Extendable and well-adjusted straps
The majority of sports bras are made with firm and secure straps that prevent them from slipping off. Adjust your straps so that you may easily slip one finger underneath them. If you are a C or D cup, opt for X-shaped straps for more support.

A cup that covers the whole breast
Look for a bra with cups that cover your entire breast to ensure that there is little-to-no bouncing while you exercise. Save your push-up bra for the bedroom…

A bra without underwire

A sports bra without an underwire is ideal when exercising, as it will prevent harsh rubbing against the skin and reduce the risk of injury.

Sexiest Bras


Certainly there are as many styles of sexy bras as there are women. Often, the purchaser of a sexy bra is a woman's lover. This can sometimes prove challenging as a lover may have very different hopes and expectations for the outcome of the purchase than the woman who will eventually wear the bra.

A sexy bra is a gift for both of you, not just you. There is little sense making a purchase that will never be worn because the style is outside of her comfort zone. Consider her preferences, body shape and personality. Underwire styles are available in smaller sizes if the girl finds them more comfortable,and a sports bra is a good investment since she will undoubtedly be involved in gym classes and other activities where the extra support is welcome.

To make the purchase memorable, many teenage girls choose matching bra and panty sets that will make them feel stylish and attractive. Parents may also present such a set as a gift to commemorate their daughter’s new status as young woman. Sexy bras and exotic garments are not generally appropriate for a teenager, but fun, flirty styles are always popular.

Teen Bras


The teenage years are an exciting time of development for young women. And purchasing your first Teen bra is an experience that you will long remember. Ideally, you will want this memory to be pleasant. With a little foresight and thought, this should be easy to achieve.

When To Buy A Teen Girl,s First Bra There is no single time when a girl should buy her first bra, but generally as a she begins to develop breast buds she grows more self conscious about her appearance, and the monumental shopping trip may divert her attention from disconcerting changes in body and allow her to focus on the much anticipated act of growing up.

Beginning bras are called many things, including training bras, starter bras, and bralets, but if the girl is sufficiently developed, her first bra may be a small adult size instead. Most girls will begin to wear bras between the ages of 11 and 13, and even if she has not begun to develop, a young teen may want to buy her first bra to coincide with her friends and peer group

particularly if she is involved in physical education classes or sports activities and is aware that other girls are wearing bras. Even if the changes in her body are minimal, a teen girl’s first bra still symbolizes the fact that she is growing up and gives her confidence that she will develop into an attractive woman.

Popular Teen Bra Styles

A teen girl’s first bra should be versatile and comfortable, but it does not need to be a plain white, featureless garment. Because it is a momentous purchase, many girls prefer attractive colors, a bit of lace, or other distinctive features that coincide with their individuality. Sexy bras and exotic garments are not generally appropriate for a teenager, but fun, flirty styles are always popular. Underwire styles are available in smaller sizes if the girl finds them more comfortable, and a sports bra is a good investment since she will undoubtedly be involved in gym classes and other activities where the extra support is welcome.

Bridal Bra



Today's wedding dresses come in such a wide range of styles and designs it is no wonder that a line of bridal bras have been created as the undergarment compliment. Wedding mania promotes mass consumerism. Or perhaps it's the other way around.

The wedding day seems to be a tense time for brides. Having your bra spring a strap will not add to your pleasure. Best to have a bra that requires no thought or attention on your part. Your bridal bra style will depend on the neck, back and shoulder line of your wedding dress. Try to avoid needing safety pins and other last minute changes by trying the bra and dress on together in advance. To do this, bring your bra to your final wedding dress fitting. Be sure to check with the return policy of the bra retailer first to be sure that you can make a return should you need to.

A bridal bra/corset mold and shape the upper body into a desired shape to fit the wedding dress. In addition to that, it promotes good posture and can be more comfortable as the weight of the breasts is carried by the whole corset rather than the brassiere’s shoulder straps.

We would like to talk to you about bras and bridal bra fitting. In this clip we would like to give you a little information to the brides to be out there on the bustier that are available. That is a very special day for you and you want your dress to look its finest, and whatever you put underneath is going to enhance the total overall picture. When you are going to look for a bustier, there are several important tips to think about. Take a moment to look at your dress and write it down whether you need it with boning or without, with a smooth cup or it can be without, a lace finish, maybe something that feels and looks very sexy but may not be the perfect item to have under your dress. Also take the time to look at the back of the dress to see if you need a low back bustier, because depending on the styles that are carried in your local lingerie store, they will all have different heights

at the back. There are many different features to think about, and all of these will help you when you are looking for that proper item to go under that fancy dress. Strapless bras also will be another thing that you will need to take note of whether they need to be again, just a fiber cup or a smooth cup, whether it needs to be white, ivory or nude, whether it needs to be a low back or not.The best time to start shopping for a bra is as soon as you decide upon the wedding dress. The first place to start is the boutique that you buy your dress from. Talk to the sales person to get an idea of the type of bra that would best go with the dress. Ultimately, much will depend on the neckline of the dress and also whether it is strapless. Another thing to keep in mind is that the wedding dress is figure hugging, so the fabric of the bra should be very soft in order to prevent itching and to prevent you from feeling very uncomfortable on your special day.

Bra Guide


If you are about to buy your first bra, it’s best to go to a bra department store that has a special department that sells bras and underwear. This bra department is usually called the “lingerie department.” Ask to be fitted by a “lingerie specialist” (a professional who has special training in fitting bras). There is no charge for this service and having it done by a professional will make sure that your bra fits correctly. You will still need to try on different bra styles in the size that’s right for you because not all bras fit the same way. By doing this, you will find the bra that feels the best and also looks the best under your clothes.


Cup Size: Next, you will measure around your chest at the largest or fullest part of your breasts, called your “bust line.” You need to measure with your arms straight down, so ask someone you feel comfortable with to help you (like your mom, sister, or friend). Your Bust line Measurement will be higher than your chest (”under the breast”) measurement. Your Cup Size is the difference between your Chest Size and your Bust line Measurement. size

A Cup 1 inch
B Cup 2 inch
C Cup 3 inch

2: Upper Bust. Measure the circumference above the bust under the arms.

3: Full Bust. Measure the full bust circumference. Do not let the tape droop in back. You may need help to take this measurement correctly.

Nursing Bra



Buying a nursing bra one size too big late in the pregnancy will usually provide a good fit because the breasts increase in size after the baby is born and the milk comes in.A bra that is too tight, either around the ribs or in the cup, can cause a pluggedmilk duct or infection.Be sure your bras fit well enough in the cups to allow the change in breast size as your breasts fill before a feeding.When your milk is established and you are past the engorgement stage(usually around the second week), it is often a good idea to purchase three nursing bras: one to wear, one in the laundry, and one on standby. Try them forfit and ease of use before buying more. Nursing bras are not the same as conventional bras; nursing bras can be adjusted more to allow for changes in breast size and shape throughout

There's no reason you can't enjoy an attractive, polished look post-pregnancy when it comes to a bra. Seamless nursing bras offer this kind of look, along with comfort. This article discusses the various types and points to consider when shopping for a seamless nursing bra.


Push Up Bra in Fashion


Some push-up bras can actually cause discomfort and even pain depending on the materials, size, and fitting. Many times women do not find the appropriate fitting or size to their bras, and this can cause breathing difficulties at times and side effects if the bra is too tight. Because a push-up bras main function is to elevate and encourage cleavage, it is normally tighter than the average bra, and bad fitting and sizing can cause more problems than if it was just a normal bra. If you are not comfortable in wearing a push-up bra, you should not put up with any discomfort just for the cleavage. Either that, or have a professional size you, and fit you for a suitable push-up bra that is comfortable.

Choose a push-up bra based on its support. Some push-up bras are padded with air, water or simply extra cushioning, while others have underwires that create the look of a push-up without the padding. Some women find the padding excessive and prefer underwires, while others find underwires uncomfortable.
Push-up" bras are structured so that the breasts are lifted and placed closer together to enhance the cleavage. The best-known brand of push-up bra is the Wonderbra. Many push-up bras contain padding, typically made of foam or rubber, but some contain gel-filled pads. The main distinction between padded bras and push-up bras that incorporate padding is whether the padding is centred under the breasts to lift them or is outside the centre so that the padding pushes the breasts inward.
Push-up bras are designed to lift the breasts and enhance the bustline, increasing cleavage for a more voluptuous look. Push-up bras often contain underwiring and padding that helps create the appearance of larger breasts and more pronounced cleavage. These bras are considered the modern-day answer to old-fashioned corsets, which women also used to increase the appearance of cleavage. Unlike corsets, however, push-up bras are comfortable and won't restrict your breathing. All women have one breast that is larger than the other. Sometimes the difference is noticeable, most often is isn't. If the difference is significant, try a bra with stretch foam in the cup inflating the pad to even your cup out. Also, you can adjust the strap so the larger breast is looser than the smaller breast strap. Always fit the cup size to the fuller breast first.

Every time you put on a bra, you should slip the straps over your shoulders and while holding both ends of bra, lean forward at the waist and allow the breasts to fall naturally into the cups. As you straighten up, hook the bra in the middle adjustment.




Strapless Bra


Le Mystres Shameless Strapless Bra is the ultimate bra when you need invisble support and comfort. Its a great example of the hi-tech engineering and sleek design that makes Le Mystre Oprahs favorite brand. The full fit hidden underwire cups give you a comfortable and firm lift, while the seamless design and smooth moulded micro-fiber material makes the bra invisible under clothing. The soft and light padding offers perfect shape and modesty. Silicon beading and boned sides keep the bra firmly in place, even when you wear it without the removable straps. Breasts are composed mostly of fat so you either may be genetically predisposed to very large breasts (hard to tell not knowing your general size otherwise), or that is just where you gain your weight. If that is where you gain your weight, that is also where you will lose it. If you have always had breasts of this size, losing weight may not help as much.

When selecting a strapless bra-- you can keep most of the convertible bras, as they only convert to confusion and strange bulges-- be sure it has enough grip around the lower band to stay in place and not transform itself into a belt the next time you race to catch a taxi. You also need to be sure that the bra fits well and does not cause discomfort.Before you spend good money on a strapless bra, do a little dance in the fitting room and see if it stays in place and doesn't drop down creating the double-decker boob look. See if it doesn't create any weird outlines under your top. Keep moving around a bit to be sure. You will probably need to try on a few as everyone is built differently. If you have V-like torso narrowing to a small waist, longline bras have a better chance to stay in place.

strapless bra can complement your dress so well it is necessary that you pay as much attention to purchasing this form of undergarment as you do to purchasing the dress which is to be worn over the bra. It might indeed be deadly to pick the incorrect sort of bra as that would let folk incidentally get a glance of what lies underneath the dress.

A strapless bra is kind of fragile and so needs mild and good care. It shouldn’t be placed in driers and it’s also threatening and not allowed to let these clothing be heated or tumbled washed as that would send the bra directly to the dustbin. The backless bra is quite like the strapless bra and plenty of the factors that you’re going to need to address for the strapless variety hold good in the case of the backless type too.

Sports Bras


Women just want to be comfortable and that is not always a healthy choice. If you are relaxed and at ease with your undergarments, chances are you will be able to maximize your sports performance. There are many points that need to be taken into account when buying a sports bra, here are some ideas to think about when deciding on which is the correct bra for running.
Bounce can cause permanent tissue damage and can be painful and distracting. In most areas of equitation, stillness through control is a goal. Therefore, from a personal and a sport-related point of view, stilling the bounce is the objective of most women riders. Bounce is greatly decreased by the use of a well-fitting sports bra designed for high impact sports. This should be considered as an essential part of your riding

wardrobe.A good riding sports bra should feel comfortable on, stay in place, and not chafe. The straps shouldn't dig into the shoulders nor should they fall off the shoulders as you rider. Nothing is more distracting than having your bra strap slip while you are riding up to a fence! The band around the lower chest shouldn't shift up or bind.
Proportions and contours should be designed for the freedom of movement that you
need while riding without binding, twisting or chafing. Soft, plush threads will minimize skin irritation.
Support is definitely something to considering when choosing a sports bra for strenuous activities like running. You want to be sure that you are not constricted nor are you bouncing everywhere. The amount of support provided will be greater if the shoulder straps are wider. A bra with a crisscross across the back is another option. You will also find that this gives you the support
that you need. For women runners, the support of a sports bra is vital. You can hurt yourself without the right kind of support.
Most sports bras currently on the market offer comfort and support to runners. Sportswear manufacturers are expected to respond quickly with technological and design changes to improve sports bras for running as research findings illuminate causes of breast pain and damage. Some women may prefer a sports bra
design that “lifts and separates” and other runners may get more comfort and support from the unibosom design of a sports bra such as Sports Jock. Runners should expect to do a ‘bounce test’ during sports bra fitting. Jumping on the spot will test for breast movement in the new bra. Any movement of a woman’s breast when jumping will be amplified by the “figure of eight” when running
