How to choose your plus size bra

Lingerie is one area where women can really enjoy themselves. If you wear some really glamorous or sexy lingerie, and you will feel sexy and glamorous too!

When choosing a bra, it is always advisable to get yourself measured by a specialist. In the UK, Rigby & Pella (London) or Bravissimo are THE places to visit, but you can also visit high street stores, who are often able to carry out a bra fitting.

Many plus size ladies are tempted to go for a bra which is too small, not wanting to emphasize their size. However, this often has the reverse effect by greating the “four boob” effect!

Three tips for choosing a plus size bra:-

Choose an underwired bra, for extra support and shape
Remember that the bra should enclose your breasts
The central part of the bra should sit flat against your chest
Buy a bra which is comfortable on the middle hooks, that way if you change size a little, the bra will still fit. If you find that your size changes during your monthly cycle, consider buying a different sized bra.

When choosing a bra, take along a close fitting t-shirt to see what the bra looks like in fitting clothing. Although it may be pretty, you may not want the lace pattern to show through your t-shirt. Also, this helps you see the shape that the bra gives to your breasts.

Don’t worry about minimizing your breasts - make the most of them and enjoy them!
