what lies beneath...

just be glad you don't live in late-nineteenth-century england...you might be sporting the lemon-cup bust improver...an early bra that contained a "light" coiled spring in each cup packed with bleached horsehair...please don't ask me to explain that one...i can't =)

bras have come a long way...

women who burned them in their youth are now looking for support in unpreccedented numbers...thanks to body-conscious fashion...

you should demand four things from a bra....
- fit
- comfort
- support
and...
- good looks =)

easier said than done??

here are some basic pointers...

...know your size...and if you don't...or aren't sure...please please please consult with someone who can tell you what it is...now-a-days...many stores offer you an expert in the field to help you...take advantage...

...spend the time to find the right bra...then...if it works (especially if it was hard to find) buy lots of them, in different colors (white, black and nude)...

...if you're looking for something to wear every day...choose a bra that's well constructed rather than one that's too dainty...

ask yourself what you expect from your bra...do you want to look like jayne mansfield (who was an impressive 42dd) or are you trying to play things down a bit?

the good news...is that anything is possible...
