The World Of Undergarments
From elegance to seduction, Lingerie is a big part of being a woman. I have been surprised to find too many women not knowing the difference between different types of bras and hence choosing to wear wrong types of bra. This is an overlooked element of style. I read a beautiful book a few years ago by Kathrin Kemp-Griffin. It explained the ins and outs of how lingerie is constructed, different types of lace , and what to look for when shopping , with lovely illustrations. No matter how wonderful you are dressed, all is in vain if you are not wearing right bra. Bras can make a difference in your looks. Women in France embraced the corset in the early 1500s to archive the "perfect" female figure. Corsets started to evolve to a girdle making a woman's figure more of an "s " shape by 1800. 1869, Hermine Cadolle cut a corset into two separate garments - the top supported the breasts by means of straps . Then Mary Phelps also known as Caresse Crosby kickstarted the modern bra revolution in 1913. She crafted this revolutionary undergarment using two silk handkerchiefs. Bras have transformed over the centuries and the evolution of bras has sure helped women world-wide. Lets dive into the different types of Bras 1. T-shirt bra : A bra with thin smoothly contoured cups to give the best smooth shape under T-shirts. Now, you know what to do if you're wearing T-shirts ladies. 2. Full Cup : A bra with cups that completely cover the breasts. They are usually padded/molded 3. Demi bra & Balconette : Demi-wide set straps, half-shaped cups ; horizontal bust line while Balconnete is a low cut demi-bra . Better for accentuating. 4. Bralete: No-underwire bra with no padding or molded cups. A comfier alternative to padded bras for some. 5. Push-up bra : This contains additional padding at the bottom to create a fuller looking bust 6. Plunge bra: It has low cut cups joined by a thin center piece. Good for outfits with a low/dipping neckline. 7. Minimiser bra : A full coverage bra which reduces the bust size by a few inches 8. Sports bra: This supports and prevents discomfort during physical activity 9. Strapless bra : This is without shoulder straps to wear with off-shoulder tops 10. Bandeu bra: it is designed in a strip made out of stretchy fabric. Now that you know the different types of bra, you should do better with your style. Technological advancement has also played a major role in the evolution of bras. Japanese lingerie company called Ravijour has developed a bra that senses heart rate which is analyzed by your smartphone . When your heart rate changes to indicate you are in love, the bra pops open! lol I got you! What is that story about bras is engraved in your mind that you can never forget.? please share in the comment section.
