Uplifting Your "Breast" Friends
More than 800 new bras are designed each yet; yet over 80
percent of women are wearing the wrong size.
How can you tell?
Do your “puppies” shake like Jell-O when walking or
exercising? Do they overhang or under fill the cups? Do you suffer fat back
from an industrial strength clasp? Is your bra equipped with shoulder pads for
straps? Do you find yourself stuffing and shoving your breast friends into
place?
If you’re attempting to prevent weight shift by
shortening the straps you’re creating a seesaw effect. When the back is raised
the front droops. A well-fitted bra should act like a suspension bridge,
balancing gravity versus uplift.
Bras have weighed from 10 ounces to 20 pounds. The
largest recorded bra was a 48V. About 70 percent of bras designed today are
equipped with under-wires. Unless that bra fits properly, it could be a
“cutting edge” experience.
Bullet bras of the 50’s were recently upgraded with metal
tips. For the plus-sized woman, these might be considered weapons of mass
destruction.
Bras weren’t designed to “lift and separate.” Your
“girlfriends” should only be one inch apart when in residence.
A bra should be lightweight and comfortable. A
well-fitted underwire bra will take up to 90 percent of the breast’s weight
from shoulder straps.
The bra strap is a stabilizer; it should allow the bra
wearer to bend, stretch and twist without distributing its precious cargo.
The
answer is not in burning your bras or going without one. You will lose
elasticity and, without support, you will develop water balloons.
Each of
your breast friends is a different size; always fit the fullest one. Try moving
vigorously in a sheer bra. If it isn’t
fitted properly your “headlights” may shift and point in two different
directions.
Mass-produced
undergarments contain fewer parts and come in limited sizes. A store that
specializes in custom fittings can put you in a bra designed for your body
shape and bust dimensions. It can be an uplifting experience.
