PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS

There are two key measurements for bras -

1) The back size- the measurement around the body under the bust e.g. 32,34,36,38 etc.

2) The cup size- the measurement of the bust itself e.g. A,B,C,D etc.

If your bra is not comfortable, use the following easy guide to find a solution.

STYLE GUIDE

Wearing the right underwear can make a big difference to the way your clothes look. As Christian Dior once said- "Underwear is the foundation of fashion".

To get the best out of your outerwear fashion, why not follow this simple guide: -

  • Low cut dresses and tops - Try push up or balconette bras for a stunning cleavage.
  • Strapless, halter neck, strappy tops - Strapless bras offer great support and shape.
  • Stretch Lycra * tops and dresses - Wearing seamfree bras helps to create a smooth line under stretchy outerwear.

* Lycra is a trademark of the Du Pont Corporation.
