Just as a house needs a good foundation to stay looking good, the same is true for clothing. Many a beautiful outfit has been ruined by what appears to be a poor fit. What is really wrong is the fit or use of the foundation garments. The right bra can make a world of difference in how the clothing lays on your body. The same is true for other undergarments as well.
Is there really a special plus size bra? The answer is yes. The construction of a plus size bra is the same as a regular bra but built for a woman with larger breasts and more curves. Various manufacturers will list a plus size as a size 14 and higher and others begin at size 16.
Whatever the designation, a plus size bra is not hard to find. Many department stores now carry a section of lingerie for the plus sized woman and they can also be found in lingerie only stores. Mail order catalogs and online websites are wonderful sources for finding a plus size bra.
Most places will tell you how to determine your size and whether or not you need a plus size. The variety of styles, colors and materials is varied and attractive. If you are looking for a plus size bra it should not be hard to find and your choices are many. So if you've been feeling uncomfortable in your current bra, check out one of the many sources for a plus size to see if that will serve you better. Many stores hold bra fitting clinics and taking the time to be properly fitted for a bra can save you plenty of grief in the future.
Not only does a bra that fits properly make you look fantastic under whatever clothes you decide to wear but it also helps to alleviate shoulder and back problems. A bra that fits right supports the weight of heavier breasts, which is exactly what a plus size woman needs. A great fitting bra works it magic to improve posture as well. All women know that a bra that fits as it should, can improve the look of the breasts through the clothing and can make a world of difference. When it comes to buying a bra always remember the 'five S's' of bras- there are seamless bras, seamed, strapless, sports and of course sexy bras. Plus sized bras are available in all of the five essential S's if you know where to look.
It is smart for the full-figured woman to have as her wardrobe staple a couple of everyday support bras and then some more interesting bras for nights when she is going out on the town! Keep in mind that sports bra, also sometimes called sports shelf bras are not just for sports enthusiasts. Sports bras are easier on the skin because of the material they are made of and also because of the wide straps. They also provide a smooth look under many tops. Look for a sports bra made of microfiber because this material allows the skin to breath and moves with the skin.
