As Seen On TV

September 28th, 2009

The many positive effects of exercise are well-known:  glowing skin, toned muscles, and stress reduction. However, for well-endowed women, the discomfort of vigorous activity can be too much to handle. Sports bras provide the additional support needed. Without one, a woman can damage ligaments in the chest or cause embarrassment and pain.

Natori makes an amazing style that was recently featured on the TV show The Doctors. On the episode dedicated to “Breast Breakthroughs”, the doctors concentrated on the health, well-being, and maintenance of breasts. They preformed a series of tests and the bra exceeded expectations.

It’s made out of a stretchy and soft cotton blend fabric. It features interior side paneling for maximum comfort during exercise while the covered elastic trim protects sensitive skin. The wide straps prevent pinching or binding, which is a common complaint woman have. Another problem that woman can’t stand about sports bras is that they flatten the breasts. However, this design allows for a more feminine look while still reducing discomfort.

Purple Bra Trend!

September 24th, 2009

              Jewel tones, especially purple, are one of the hottest fashion trends for fall. Shades range from pale to “pow to plum; even Audemars Piguet sponsored a party for Purple Magazine at swanky new NYC hotspot The Boom Boom Room. Purple has had a colorful history, no pun intended.  It has long been associated with nobility and royalty, dating back to classical antiquity when expensive Tyrian Purple dye was only affordable to the elite class.

              This beautiful bra from Malizia by La Perla features a gorgeous graphic effect due to stylized plumetis tulle in a floral pattern. Delicate bows between the cups add an elegant touch.

Just for the Frill of It

September 14th, 2009

There are so many great trends in fall’s fabulous fashions, and intimates are no exception. Some of the prominently featured themes in tradeshows and on runways alike included lace and ruffles. Sylene offers countless varieties at their Chevy Chase store.

              This sophisticated bra by Chantelle features sheer satin finished floral lace lined in tulle. The straps are trimmed in floral lace, and a delicate bow sits between the cups. In addition to classic black, this bra comes in a lovely rouge color.

Appeal Chemise

While romantic, there are certain images associated with lace; however, with so many options available one can be demure and lady-like or sexy and seductive.


Use this checklist to make sure your bra fits you properly.

1. The back is properly adjusted; the three hooks are designed for this purpose.
2. The sides shouldn’t fold or feel too tight.
3. The bra should not move when you move around.
4. The bra should not cut into the breasts.
5. The straps should be properly adjusted; not too tight (the back strap creeps up and the breasts dip down), and not too loose (the bra is not supportive enough).

And if despite all of the correct strap adjustments, you have the feeling the back is still a little too high, choose a smaller band size and a larger cup, i.e., choose 34C instead of 36B.

Bras of Summer

May 21st, 2009

Memorial Day Weekend marks the unofficial beginning of summer. And summer means lighter, carefree clothing, often in lighter colors. Sundresses, tees, camis, bare-shouldered tanks and halter tops can make finding the perfect bra during the summer tough. Lighter clothing may be ideal for the heat of summer, but it can leave you too exposed under fine and delicate materials. But thankfully, manufacturers have gotten wise to the fact that summer clothing can require a special bra.

Here are some bras you can’t live without during the summer:

Convertible bra

Many manufacturers are now making bras with interchangeable adjustable straps that can be adjusted for strapless tops and dresses, cross-back styles, halters, or traditional T-shirts. Worn with one strap, two straps, or no straps, the convertible bra is designed to create the configuration you want with the choice of going strapless or wearing your bra many different ways.

T- Shirt bra

T-shirt bras are seamless, contoured styles that give you a sleek look under lightweight, clingy tops and knit shells, providing a completely smooth look with a natural shape. A demi bra style is great when wearing a plunging or revealing neckline.

Racer back or T- back bra

Showing your straps can be tacky or fashionable, depending on your perspective. However most women want to make sure their straps are hidden and stay hidden. For tank tops and racer back fashions, wear a racer back or t-back bra to keep your bra straps out of view. If you can’t find one in your size, a convertible bra can be modified to achieve the same result. Another solution is attaching a little plastic disc to the back of your straps, which turns a regular bra into a racer back bra.

Strapless bra

A strapless bra is a must-have in your wardrobe. Wear under spaghetti strapped tanks and strapless tops. If you believe you can’t find one that gives you a nice shape, is comfortable, and or stays up, try again, because there are more options than ever before. Even if you wear size DD bras and larger, you can find one that is supportive and flattering to your figure.

Backless/Strapless bra

A backless/strapless is the solution for extremely low cut plunging backs or fronts. Totally free of straps and nearly invisible under clothing and sheer and halter tops, this bra solves many wardrobe problems because the bra cups stick to your body and becomes a part of you. You can create different degrees of cleavage by positioning the bra cups closer or farther away.
