Getting A Well Fitting Set Of Plus Size Undergarments
- By:Eric Menzies Menzies
If you are looking to look great no matter what the season, you need to have a great foundation, and for any woman, regardless of her size, one of the most essential parts of looking good is her bra. Casual studies show that too few women wear bras that are correctly sized for them, and plus-sized women make up a large part of this demographic. Finding a good bra is essential for the final fit of your outfit, and if you can only spend a lot of money on one garment, let your bra be it!
The first thing that you need to do regarding getting a good bra that fits is go in for a professional fitting. Most popular stores that sell underwear will be able to help you with this. Victoria's Secret, which has excellent undergarments, usually has an associate nearby who can help you out, as does Lane Bryant. Essentially, the cup size and the diameter of your ribcage should not compensate for each other. Too many women have problems finding their correct size and try to make it up with a smaller cup size than they should have or a larger band size. Remember that the band should fit snugly to your ribcage and that for most standard bras, the center part of it should brush your sternum.
When purchasing a bra, make sure to ask an associate for help in finding the right fit as well as sizing you. Many plus sized women have difficult finding a bra that fits due to the large cup size and their rib cage being too small. Some women's cup sizes are too small but the bra band they need is larger. For these women, it may be very difficult to find the right bra. There are many options for women in this situation. In some cities, there are smaller shops that will provide undergarments for these specific women. There are also companies online. Lane Bryant and Victoria's Secret do not carry these sizes in their store but they do have a large online catalog that does. There will be plenty of options including different colors and styles to choose from.
When you are trying to figure out what looks best on you, make sure that you have a good foundation to build on. When you are concerned about the fit of your clothes, make sure that you have the support that that a well-fitted bra provides!About the author:
