I have a passion for beautiful lingerie. There is nothing like a gorgeous bra & panty to make you feel beautiful. If you are like 4 out of 5 women, you are most likely wearing the wrong bra and you know the challenge of finding a bra that fits, is comfortable and looks sensational.

There are so many styles of Bra’s and manufacturers, that sizing is like a puzzle – you never know which size is the correct one, let alone which style is best for you, full cup, demi, minimisier, push up, tee shirt. Do you need to lift up, push out, pull in?

Always engage an experienced bra fitter to help you navigate the realm of bra’s.

Tips for buying a Bra

• Be fitted for every bra you buy.
• When trying a bra on, use the loosest clip to fit.
• Ensure your breasts are fully supported by the cup.
• If the cup is wrinkling then you need to go down a cup size.
• Adjust the bra straps for correct length and support
• Lift your arms up and down, flap like a bird- if they bra doesn’t move up your back then it’s a good fit.
• Always buy the matching panties and if you can afford it purchase two pairs.
• Your nipples need to be positioned midway between the elbow and shoulder- look at yourself from the side.
• Ensure the bra is sitting firmly against your chest bone, you may need to go up a cup size.

Not only does wearing the right bra feel more comfortable, but enhances your figure, silhouette and can make you appear more youthful. The breast has no muscle tissue at all, they rest on the major chest muscle. This is why they head south after the age of 40 , pregnancy and breast feeding. As the breast has no muscle to support it is imperative that your bra provides the support you need, especially during exercise. As a women 40 +, mother of 2 who breast fed for 2 years I know the joy of watching my voluptous breasts spread wider and lower! I need a super supportive bra, but it has to be pretty and sexy! My favourite brand is Intimo and each time a new style comes out I go crazy -who many bra's can a girl have? Never enough!
