Supporting Your Boobs – The Benefits of the Right Bra

Are you sick of trying on clothes only to find that they don’t suit you?

Does a trip to the changing room always result in disappointment?

Do the clothes that fit you well still fail to wow?

If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then you will be surprised to hear that it might not be your physique which is standing between you and the perfect look.

The problem might just be your bra!

Have You Boobed with Your Bra?

When your clothes fall short of fabulous then it could be because you have boobed with your bra. Research has shown that the majority of women are wearing the wrong size bra. Not only does an ill-fitting bra have serious health implications, it can also completely ruin your silhouette.

Grappling with Gravity

If your bust does not receive adequate support, your breasts will begin to sag. Gravity is constantly pulling them down and this will eventually weaken the breast tissue. Breasts are composed of fatty tissue which cannot be toned and any damage caused by straining them is irreparable. A bra which is too big will not support your boobs and could easily ruin your look.

Unfortunately, sagging breasts alter your posture and your proportions, creating a less pleasing silhouette. On the other hand, if your breasts are well-supported and contoured, your entire body receives a lift, you stand up straight rather than hunching over and you will appear slimmer and in proportion. Suddenly that lovely new cocktail dress that did nothing for you looks simply amazing.

Bothersome Lumps and Bumps

Clingy and bias-cut fabrics can be particularly problematic if you have a few lumps and bumps and who doesn’t? The wrong bra will create lumps and bumps which otherwise wouldn’t have been there! If the band is too tight around your body, it will cause unsightly contours to form in your back. Cups which are too small will force your boobs to spill out in all directions and the resulting bumps will be all too obvious when you wear those clingy clothes.

You will be simply amazed at what is staring back at you in the mirror when you find a bra that fits!

But how do you do that?

Professional Bra Fitting

If most women are wearing the wrong size bra, then it clearly isn’t easy to establish the correct size. To fit properly, a bra must have the right size of band, the perfect cups and the straps must also be properly adjusted. You probably suffer from a case of wishful thinking when it comes to your cup size and your dress size and so it is all too easy to invest in the wrong bra.

A professional bra fitter will measure you accurately and will not be influenced by that wishful thinking. They will be able to measure your bust accurately and to recommend the bras which will best suit your body. A bra fitting could change everything and help you to view yourself and your wardrobe in a whole new light.

The X Factor 2014

I have always loved the X Factor for the entertainment value. Sadly the first ten years of the show had failed to serve up anyone whose music I would buy or who I would ever pay to see. Nonetheless, watching the auditions always threw up countless memorable moments and I loved the drama of the live shows. I was beginning to wonder if there would ever be an act that I genuinely loved though. Continue reading The X Factor 2014
