Tee Shirt Bras for Modern Women

Posted on November 7, 2011 by sue

A woman’s breasts are sensitive parts of her anatomy that need protecting. It is easy to damage the soft tissues that make up the breasts, the kind of trauma that may cause serious problems. Some liberated women do not like wearing a bra for protection. They feel it is an encumbrance rather than protective. Some women are allergic to the elastic band or the lacy frills, the impression of the elasticated band can cause the skin to break into rashes.

It is important to choose the kind of bra that would be comfortable enough yet offer maximum support for any type of activity and fashionable enough to wear under a gown. Designed simply without the frills and the trimmings, tee shirt bras have plain cup covers made mostly of 100% cotton. This style provides a smooth outline to tee shirts and a clean silhouette to satin or silk gowns.

Many women prefer simplicity to some fancy lacework that cost more. Lingerie designers and manufacturers are making the tee shirt bra more versatile and more affordable to the working class. A modern woman now has many options at how to maximize this bra; she can buy a tee shirt bra with extra straps that she can use multiway. Some brands she can wear for shirts with low back or plunging necklines.

Tee shirt bras are available in department stores all over the world. Some companies have online stores where women can purchase without leaving their homes. The lingerie websites have up-to-date online catalogues where women can order the styles they like. Payment is easy through PayPal or credit card and guaranteed next-day delivery once paid. Not all online stores accept returns or replacements of incorrect orders; therefore, it is important to order the right size, color and style.

Multiway Bras – Must-Have Lingerie

Posted on October 18, 2011 by sue

At the turn of the 20th century, women’s underwear evolved from being bulky and cumbersome to smaller, less restricting and more appealing undergarments. The modern lingerie of the new millennium has become more form fitting to give ease of movement and give outer clothing an alluring feminine shape.

During the advent of the 21st century, designers and manufacturers have become bolder and more creative in designing lingerie that would appeal to women’s emancipated views on femininity.  Materials used have also graduated from the crisp crinoline to the exquisitely woven elastic lace and laser-cut seamless lingerie set.

Lingerie is a thriving business all over the world. The media have a great deal of contribution in creating the need for the undergarment. Manufacturers have saturated the market with all kinds of undergarment for every kind of need, be it for daily wear, formal and smart casual and for gala affairs.

When the world market crashed the blue-collar workers struggled to make both ends meet by cutting down wants. Expensive lingerie has become a luxury and as a consequence, the intimate apparel business has also suffered. To save the industry, manufacturers have to ride on the demands of consumers for more practical underwear.

With this demand came the multiway bras, an all-occasion, all-in-one underwear designed to complement any type of fashion.  This kind of bra can be worn any way according to the style of dress. With just a little imagination, the regular bra becomes a fashionably versatile undergarment.

Retaining the original designs such as the plunge bra, balconette, half-cup, full-cup; what changed was the play of the straps. Multiway bras are sold with detachable straps that can be lengthened for crisscrossed style or shortened for one-shoulder or halter necks. A cost-effective way to be fashionable.

The Versatile Multiway Bra

Posted on October 6, 2011 by sue

Women’s fashion is getting more daring as the modern woman strives to fit in the society where beauty is gauged by physical appearance and the way she carries herself. To be able to keep up with the fast-changing fashion trend despite the rising cost of being trendy, one has to be ingenious in finding practical solutions to wardrobe scarceness.

A working woman who gets minimum pay and a take-home balance of less than what she needs for a month may as well forget that she needs a new jacket, a new pair of shoes or a new set of lingerie. But if you are one of those women who knows how to mix and match, recycle old clothes, and accessorize, then your old wardrobe will change into a more upbeat and dynamic collection.

Another area that may need improvement is your lingerie section.  If you own just a couple of regular bras and thinking of buying a new one, then purchase a multiway bra. A versatile must-have bra designed to be worn many different ways, the most functional bra that has hit the market in decades.

This bra has removable straps and can be worn strapless if you are wearing a tube or an off-shoulder dress. It can also be worn halter for halter-neck blouses and crisscrossed if you are wearing a racer-back tank top or dress. You may wear it with a single strap over the shoulder for a one-shoulder dress.

The cups of a multiway bra feature the same moulded cup shape that you like; u-shape plunge, balcony, full cups, half-cups, front closure and back eyelets. With all the good reviews from satisfied customers and increasing product demands, this style will secure a niche in the lingerie fashion catering the needs of the modern active woman.

How to Size Bras That Fit Well

Posted on September 19, 2011 by sue

Choosing a bra that fit perfectly can be a tedious job. You can try on as many different brands and different sizes that you think would fit you perfectly but different brands from different countries don’t have the same exact measurements.

It is important to know how to size bras in order to buy the right fit. If you already own a bra that fits you comfortably, try to buy a new one from the same brand. Buying a new bra should be done at leisure and not in a rush. Take time to browse the different brands and styles and take time to fit what you have chosen.

Women’s bra sizes change many times over the years depending on the fluctuation of her weight. Your size when you were 20 may not be the same after having children at 30. If you are not sure of your correct bra size and now wish to buy a new one then there are a few things you should take into consideration such as:

Band Size

The band size should neither be tight nor loose. To get the correct band size, ask a friend to measure the circumference of your ribcage. The tape measure must be snug and straight across your chest just below the breasts. The band size represents the number in the bra sizes.

Cup Size

Measure loosely around your chest along the fullest part of your breasts which is the nipples, the bust size is the basis of your cup size. Cups sizes are proportionate to the band sizes. If you wear a size 34B and wants to get a smaller size then you should get 32C or 32D.

Learning how to size bras is a skill every woman should learn.
