FITTING THE FIRST BRA
First Bra
Brief History of Bra
The history of brassieres
is inextricably intertwined with the social history of the status of women, including the evolution of fashion and changing views
of the body.
Women have used a variety of
garments and devices to cover, restrain, or modify the appearance of breasts. From the 14th century onwards, the undergarments of wealthier women in the West were
dominated by the corset, which pushed the breasts upwards. In the
latter part of the 19th century, various alternatives were experimented with,
splitting the corset into a girdle-like restraining device
for the lower torso, and transferring the upper part to devices suspended from
the shoulder.
In the late 19th century, bras replaced the corset as the most widely used means of breast support. By the
early 20th century, garments more closely resembling contemporary bras had
emerged, although large-scale commercial production did not occur till the
1930s. Since then bras have replaced corsets (although some women prefer camisoles) and a minority go without. During the
20th century, greater emphasis has been given to the fashion aspects of
brassieres. Brassiere manufacture is a multi-billion-dollar industry dominated
by large multinational corporations.

Women 70-80% Do Not Wear The Right Size Bra!
Every woman knows
the difficulty involved in finding the right bra. Questions like What cup Size
are you now? What style do you require? Seem to never end!
Well...First and
foremost it is essential that you know your correct size. A badly fitting bra
can lead to back problems, muscle tension, and even headaches. If you are in
your teen years, the strain caused by a badly fitting bra can lead to permanent
problems with posture and even back pain. So that?s why teens should be fit by
a bra expert at least twice a year or even after every noticeable growth
pattern.
Your first
consideration should be the reason you need the bra; is it for athletics,
coverage, comfort or support? There are different types and styles of bras made
for specific types of bodies and physical activities. Although it would be
nice, no one bra can do it all; you have different bras for different jobs. A
Sexy bra for those intimate private moments or a Sports Bra for when you want
to perform arduous exercise.
First Bras
Training bras are
for younger girls who have just started to develop breasts and are not able to
fit into standard size bras. Age is not the concern, rather its getting the
right fit and support for your breast size.
Wireless Bras
Light support or
wireless bras usually have no Underwire and are sometimes the preferred choice
for those with smaller breasts. They are less constricting and more comfortable
than full support bras. As they are wireless they offer less shaping and more
freedom than other bras. You can find the padded and unpadded variety; what you
choose is a matter of personal preference.
Underwire Bras
Full support or
underwire bras usually have an underwire or plastic boning holding them up. It
doesn?t matter what breast size you are, however it is a must for those with
larger cup sizes. They also are available in padded or unpadded varieties.
Push Up Bras
Sometimes
referred to as padded bras and more famously attributed to the Wonderbra. They
lift the breasts and add more shape to them with extra padding. There are some
more innovative versions around that use silicone inserts or water sacks to
enhance your look even further. They are known to "lift and separate"
the breasts, creating a full cleavage and most importantly offer lots of
support.
Plus Size Bras
Plus size bras
have finally found a home away from the unsightly bras of yesteryear to the
sleek and sexy bras of today. From sports to sexy to your everyday bra, plus
size bras are know available in many styles and brands. You can get extremely
feminine lacy plus size bras, or bras finished in satin, silk, lace and cotton,
under wire and strapless bras.
Sports Bras
Probably the
least flattering and sexy in the bra family but ironically the most important
one for growing teens to have. As well as offering full support, they also stop
the breasts from moving during strenuous activity. The tissue in your breasts
is very delicate and growing tissue especially needs to be protected during
high impact exercise.
Nursing Bras
Your breasts
start changing shape from the fourth month of pregnancy. As a result, most
women find their previous bra too small. Purchase a nursing bras close to your
due date or shortly after your baby arrives, because your breasts will grow
larger toward the end of your pregnancy and when milk comes in. Consider buying
a bra that has flaps and can be opened and refastened easily. Since milk
leakage is inevitable, it also makes sense to buy nursing pads to protect both
your bra and clothes. It is always better to buy 100% cotton bras, as cotton is
a breathable fabric. Synthetic fabrics trap moisture and encourage bacterial
growth and soreness.
Mastectomy Bras
These types of bras
are designed with pockets in the cup area to hold a breast prosthesis. There is
a wide range of styles and colors available. The silicone breast prosthesis
simulates the natural breast with regards to its shape and weight. The
prosthesis?s main advantage of is that it provides symmetry and balance to a
persons body, who has survived from breast cancer. Wearing the right prosthesis
is primarily important to your ultimate comfort level. With a superior fitting
prosthesis, and a well-made and fitted mastectomy bra, you in turn will help to
balance
your posture and
provide fortification for your chest and breast cancer scars.
Now you know the
importance of the bra and the many types available, you should know firstly
what size you need and how to determine that size. The following article gives
you an insight into how to measure your self and the importance of a well
fitted bra.

cautious about your looks and appearance.

clothing rather than lighter shades. Or prefer over a range of dull colors like
dull blue or dirty blue. If you wear small prints and vertical line prints, you
will look slimmer. If you have extra pounds in you, avoid kota sarees and
cotton sarees and stick to Chiffon and Georgette Sarees. Choose beige and
fawn colors, if you have a medium structure. In case of blouses, try on nets as
these are of great help in disguising physical flaws.
Thin women, cheer

along with your appearance and clothing sense. If you want to maintain a
cosmopolitan outlook but do not feel very much comfortable with western wear,
try Indo Western style. A blend of Indo Western style should add an extra charm
to your personality. A boat necked saree with a squared necked blouse is
definitely for a shy and introvert women. Bold ‘n’ beautiful should choose from
sleeveless, deep-necked blouses and may be straps.

Fashion Designer Draws Inspiration From Travels
World traveler and native New Yorker Edward Wilkerson brings a global aesthetic and sophisticated style to today's modern American woman.
As design director for Lafayette 148 New
York, Wilkerson travels the globe for inspiration. He brings rich cultural
touches to his feminine, chic designs using luxurious fabrics and exquisite
tailoring. A true artist, Wilkerson is inspired by the culture, architecture
and rich palettes of each exotic locale he visits. "Traveling has taught
me to see the beauty in everything," Wilkerson said.
He designs polished and sophisticated
separates that allow a woman to create her own individual style. Mixing fabric,
texture and color is a hallmark of the Lafayette 148 collection.
Drawing from Indochine influences,
Lafayette 148's early season offerings are expressed in sheer fabrics, creating
a light, airy mood. Contrast is key; soft leathers mixed with flowing chiffon
and cotton seersucker teamed with fluid linen. The spa-inspired colors -; beach
glass, taupe, muslin and coral -; are accented with lustrous gold. Flowing,
feminine skirts in both solids and prints are coupled with fitted, short
jackets.
Wilkerson's Moroccan sojourn is apparent in
a grouping of colors and fabrics that call to mind a brightly colored street
bazaar: think spicy saturated shades of cinnabar, curry, chocolate and orchid.
Distinctive handcrafted embellishments such as beading, embroidery and jeweled
sequins define the look.
Another group evokes a chic seaside resort
destination: wild Ibiza with bright, colorful prints; or dazzling St. Barth's
with its white sand beaches and clear blue water. White featherweight knits are
paired with full folkloric skirts. Cool, breezy dresses are summer must-haves.
The Lafayette 148 New York Collection is
available at Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom and more than 250 fine
specialty stores throughout the U.S.
