It has been told that being sexy is a state of mind and many plus-sized women know this to be true. They can feel sexy even when wearing plus size lingerie. Sexy is an attitude and a sense of confidence. What can inspire a woman to feel more confident than the proper foundation garments? The sexiest dress in your closet could end up looking like a sack if what is underneath does not fit correctly. So where does the search for the elusive “perfect fit” begin? It’s time to bring out that tape measure and get your size properly.

When you are taking your measurements, wear you best-fitting bra. The most important measurement in your bra is not the cup but the band, where most of the support comes from. A common mistake made is going for a cup size higher when what you really need is a better-fitting circumference. It should be snug enough for 2 fingers underneath and around while being on the hook that’s loosest. The problem of “back fat” will also be solved with a properly sized underband.

Do you Know What Type of Bra You Need?

Women encounter a lot of problems with bras. Straps that dig and fall, underwires that are mean or refuse to rest anywhere except 6 inches below where it is needed. Ideally, straps are for minor adjustments. Underwires should fit from the side of your breast all the way to the breast bone for full support and lies flush against the skin. If it doesn’t lie flush then the cups are too small. If the underwire hugs the lower part of the ribcage then go up a band size. If the bands goes up then the band (the number part of the formula) is too large.

With the numbers and letter ready, take a look at your closet. There are a lot of bra styles to suit your wardrobe. Know your personal wardrobe requirements so you wont end up making the wrong decisions like wearing the wrong bra color or wearing a bra style that doesn’t match your outfit. Don’t just make a mental note. Go to the lingerie shop armed with all the information you need. This will save you time, efforts and money.
