brassiere camaraderie

Add-OnA pair of stick-on cups to go with a low-back evening garment completes your wardrobe. Keep these handy.
Branded
Tired of wearing bras that never seem to fit? Part of the reason could be that you are unwittingly buying fakes. Unorganized sector with a lot of cross-selling can result in you really needing a 34A actually walking off with a 32B instead.
Cotton
Avoid the cotton is a ‘healthy’ cliché. Super soft lingerie in breathable micro fiber fabrics rules the racks as opposed to the traditional cotton varieties. Cotton soaks up the sweat and holds it close to the skin, whereas the new materials available today absorb body moisture and breathe it out.
Diaphanous Top
Showing off a bra is an art in itself. Acquire this skill. While a matching bra and camisole can double up as a great outwear option, a transparent top worn over a printed bra would test your adventurous side to the limit. Go for it; be proud of wearing this accessory.
Fit
The front and the back of the bra should be on an even plane. If the bra is riding up, it is a clear sign that it is ill-fitting. Besides, the breast should fill in to the cup comfortably and should not be spilling over. There should be no red marks on the shoulder.
Gym BraSome gym bras have a special shock absorber which makes it ideal for workouts. Try and source these for your fitness regimes. These bras are especially with an extra lining for minimum bounce and are known to reduce the movement of the bust by about 70%.Multi-Wear BraA strapless or multi-wear bra is a must-have. Remember, we love to wear our spaghetti straps and off-shoulders.
Padding
Bras without seams and with a slight padding prevent the nipples from jutting out – a hazard, women have to live with.
Size
Bra sizes are measured in cup and band sizes. And there is no way out but to get yourself measured by a bra-fitter. Get over your diffidence, and get yourself measured. It is your body after all. It is better to get yourself measured every six months, as the body shape keeps changing. Wearing the same size bra for the past 10 years is insane!
T-Shirt Bra
A T-shirt bra is very important. You don’t want to wear an over-accessorized bra if you are sporting a tight T-shirt, for example’ the detailing will show through.
Under-Wiring
Under-wires are another point of contention mired in the world of underwear. A lot of women are uncomfortable with under-wire bras, which are otherwise great to hold the bust in shape. The reason is simple. Under-wires hurt a lot of women simply because they are wearing the wrong size. Also, the metal used to under-wire bras can be of dubious quality. Take care while choosing your under-wiring.
ZebraAnimal prints have become a rage. Prints are great. However, how you can mix and match will say a lot about you – inside out. Subtlety is a virtue!
