The start to a great outfit is the foundation

Okay ladies we have to go here.  We need to have a great bra to get any outfit going.  Rather it be a sports bra, casual bra or a dress bra.  Yes there are differences and you need to know about them.  

You know what irks me?  It is when ladies come into the store and think that they are TOO big or TOO small for a great bra.  There is a bra for everyone.  So lets get started.

Dress Bra - This a bra that you want to be able to wear when you have a date or a dressy event.  It should always be lacy or print, and underwire preferred.  It should consist of great support and provide you with a lift.  I will just tell you that the higher the boobs are lifted the better you can accentuate the smallest part of your body.  Making your shape look smaller.

Casual Bra - This is the bra you wear everyday.  You want to be able to wear it with your work, casual & weekend wear.  They make a bra called the Tshirt bra....wooohooo it is the most functional and comfortable bra.  You must have one in black, white and nude.  I typically stick with nude because it will work under any color.  Please Please never wear a white bra with a white top.  You always wear nude when wearing a white.  This bra should be cotton or rayon and provide a minimum lift.

Sports Bra - Oh so many people mess this one up.  Listen just because you are wearing a t-shirt doesn't not hide the saggy boobs under the t-shirt.  Respect your girls just because your working out or lounging around doesn't mean they can't look AND feel good.  If you are heavy busted stick with a bra with a firm cup and snaps in the front.   Medium bust need to stick with a medium firm to firm, underwire and can snap in the front or pull over.  Small bust need to use a pull over that cinches under the bust.  I suggest going a size smaller with a sports bra.  You will get better support and sports bra tend to stretch out .

TIP:
This tip is for size 36B and larger and if you wear a size 12 or larger.  Okay lets face it most of us have backfat and that needs to be contained.  It doesn't look good and it can be covered.  Here is guideline so when you go shopping for that new bra you will understand.  Take your hand and put up four fingers.  This the width of the band you should look for.  Yes they exist and they make them in the dress, casual and sports bras that we talked about.  You can find them in sexy and cute styles.
