A Proper Fit For A Thinner You

Yes, indeed: if you have a bra that fits right, you’ll look thinner.

This is perhaps the best reason of all to buy that new bra. Whether you’ve been making do with bras that have stretched beyond their original fit, or you’ve lost a few pounds, or you’ve gain a few pounds - if your bra fits better, everything you put on will fit better.

Back fat? Forget it! If your bra fits correctly, that problem is history.

Drooping? Gone! If your bra fits, your breasts will be better lifted, giving you a longer line and better fit to anything, from a t-shirt to a tailored blouse. (It’s a great way to look like you lost 10 pounds without a single pushup or sweaty gym session.)

Poor posture? Get the right bra! The right bra will help to encourage you to stand taller by taking the weight off your shoulders and distributing it to the band of the bra. This is why fit is critical: it’s not the straps that should be doing the work, it’s the band.

While many of us have somehow become accustomed to painful straps and indented shoulders, it doesn’t have to be that way. Straps should only be providing about 10 per cent of the “lift” to your bust. Fully 90 per cent of the work should be done by the band. This is why fit is so critical: the most common mistake that women make is to get the band too big and the cup too small.

I’ve got some video proof that will show you that even a curvy woman with a few extra pounds can look great and get rid of back fat with the right bra. Check out this segment from Extra, where they invite a woman to have a proper bra fitting with a new Le Mystere bra.
