A backless bra let you expose your back without worrying about showing your bra strap, because simply there isn’t one! You can wear a plunging back dress without having to be braless, helping you to keep secure and glamorous at the same time.
A good backless bra is safely secured in place with a layer of silicone along the wire channelling, providing a natural support without the need of straps across the back.
This type of bra can be worn under different ranges of backless and low back garments. A backless bra designed with silicone on the wire channelling prevents it from slipping. A perfectly moulded cup with foams also helps to secure a natural shape to the body smooth under clothes. A backless bra is a must have piece of lingerie to your wardrobe!
How to look good in lingerie:
15/05/08
Bras
Attention girls, the first tip on how to look good in lingerie is to always wear the right size bra. Not many of us wear a bra that fits properly; the wrong bra can make you look chubby, showing your love handles and giving you an uncool double breast figure. The correct bra will lift your boobs and give your waist a nice definition.
The next tip is to wear lingerie that is lighter or the same colour as the clothes you are wearing, so it does not show through your clothes. If you decide to show off your bra straps wear a pretty bra and it should be fine.
Another thing to remember is to avoid bras with thin back straps, unless you have a very lean body, as it can show any back bulges under your clothes.
Ladies with small boobs can wear bras fitted with ‘chicken fillet padding’ and a draw-string front if you would like to fill out your top.
Ladies with large breasts can lift their boobs by using a balcony style bra, making the chest look great.
Knickers
Always check the VPL (Visible Panty Line) and try to avoid all knickers that show through your clothes.
When wearing light colour clothes or a garment that is hazily see-through it is best to wear natural colour underwear. In the case of a see-through skirt that is not figure-hugging, also go for flesh-coloured knickers instead of a G-string.
If you have lots of cellulite on your bum, try not to wear G-strings at all if you are wearing thin fabric clothes.
This table will help you find your perfect bra size:
To check your bra size, you need only take two measurements which are –
1. Underbust Measurement
Measure under your bust:
add 4ins. if the measurement obtained is an even number of inches
add 5ins. if the measurement obtained is an odd number of inches.
(For example, if your underbust measurement is 31ins., add 5ins. to obtain bra size 36, or, if your underbust measurement is 30ins. add 4ins. to obtain bra size 34.)
2. Overbust Measurement
Measure round the fullest part of your bust to determine Cup size.
If the bust measurement: is:
same as your bra size, your Cup size is A.
1in. more gives Cup size B
2in. more gives Cup size C
3in. more gives Cup size D
4in. more gives Cup size DD
5in. more gives Cup size E
and so on through F, FF and G
An example:
Underbust measurement of
29in. + 5in. = bra size 34
Overbust measurement of
34in. = Cup A
So the correct fitting would be 34A
How to Correct the fitting for your bra:
If bra rides up at back . . . adjust hook and eye closure to tighten, loosen straps or try a smaller band size.
If band digs in . . . order one band size larger or opt for a bra with a wider band.
If sides bulge . . . order one band size larger or choose a style that has more cup coverage.
If cups overflow . . . order one cup size larger or one band size larger.
If shoulders are sore . . . loosen bra or opt for a bra with wider, or padded straps.
If bustline sags . . . shorten straps, avoid stretchy fabrics or choose a firmer support style with rigid straps.
If underwires pinch or poke . . . order one cup size larger or try a non-underwire soft cup style.
If straps slip . . . tighten straps or opt for bra with wider straps.
