"Young girls don't have much to look at, curvy women are not on covers of magazines, they're not talked about on social media as much as other celebrities. Jennifer Lawrence is the media's poster girl for curves – she's tiny.

Times have fly so fast. Four years back, I was wearing oversize clothes and using almost my entire hard earned money from my part time jobs shopping in my favorite retail outlets while trying to get my dream wardrobe into place. Back then I did not know what to buy and what type of pieces are considered as timeless pieces. I just grabbed whatever that caught my attention. Hence, I wasted a lot of money.
I really love blogging about clothes and sharing with everyone of you how much confidence I have in myself as I manage to step out of my comfort to do something that I actually liked - blogging about fashion.
Today, being a 20 year old lady, it is time to for me to learn about the importance of what it is underneath it. Great fitting clothes won't matter if you are not wearing a bra comfortably.
I always feel awkward whenever my girlfriends talk to me about what kind of bras am I wearing. To be honest, I have never known what type of bras suits me. I only know that I love bras with laces design.
| Do you know that: Experts estimate that more than 85 percent of women are wearing the wrong size bra! |
| The Bra Doctor, Susan Nethero, reveals her bra fitting tips: • The average woman changes bra sizes six times in her life, due to changes such as hormones, weight loss or gain, pregnancy, exercise, etc. • A bra should lie firmly against the rib cage • 90 percent of a bra's support comes from a firm band • A 10 percent loss or gain or in weight usually equals a change in one cup size • A bra should be level front to back across the bodice • Avoid under wires when nursing • Breast augmentations require the same support as natural breasts • Get fitted by a bra-fitting specialist! |
Wearing a bra can be a piece of cake if you know the right type and fit for you . However, it becomes a first-world women's problem when we are not well informed about the different types available for us, beautiful ladies.
The most annoying thing about bras to me is the band "cutting" into my skin, creating the band marks that makes me feel really itchy. Also, the worse problem from it would be the apparent side boobs making the area between my upper arms and side of the body looks ugly whenever I wear a sleeveless top or dress.

GUIDES TO YOUR BRA-BLEM
Bras do not only supports your boobies, they also help you to show off your figure in any clothes that you wear. Ladies, remember we all comes in different shapes and so are our boobies. We have to be proud of who we are and embrace overselves.
First step to solve the bra-blem is to know your breast shape. Know what is your breast shape, then you choose the type of bras that suits you.
Second step will be measuring of your bust size. I have found an application that you can securely use to measure your bust size in minutes by just uploading two pictures! It is currently free to download in iTunes! Click here to download. Otherwise, head to the nearest bra shop and get your treasures measured by professionals.
Third step, FIND CLOTHES FOR YOUR TREASURE! Finding the perfect bras is not that hard. Just think about what types of materials which most of your clothes are made of, or just simply the types of clothes you own as you choose your bras.
Do not worry if you do not have a lot to fill in the cup. Feel free to wear push up. Remember to always sit straight and have a really good posture whenever and whatever you do. By doing so, you can also show a fuller figure in the front and back.
I hope that this post helps you in solving your bra-blems! Just remember to embrace yourself in anyway that can makes you feels confidence.
Another quote from Ashley Granham:
"I look at myself naked in the mirror and say, 'You know what, awkward butt shape? You're not gonna get higher or rounder but it's OK, because I've got Spanx for you.' Your words have so much power."
