A new survey has revealed that a shocking number of women are not paying enough attention to their breasts and, more specifically, their bras.

According to a poll carried out by the British Chiropractic Association (BCA), despite the fact that 47 per cent claim their breast size affects their posture, only one per cent consider a supportive bra to be important.

In addition, nearly a fifth of women have never been measured up for a bra and 83 per cent simply pick them because they like the appearance.

Consequently, 77 per cent of women are walking around in the wrong size bra.

Tim Hutchful, spokesperson for the BCA, said the findings are quite shocking and that women should think of bras as suspension bridges.

“You need a well engineered bra so your shoulders don’t take all of the strain and end up doing all of the work. Bras that don’t fit will affect the shoulders and chest and will almost certainly cause back pain as you get older,” he remarked.

According to the Telegraph, British women’s breasts are growing.

While ten years ago the average bra size was a 34B, today it is 36C, with an estimated 40 per cent of women taking a D cup or above.

Any larger ladies out there will be pleased to know that lingerieplease.co.uk caters for cup sizes up to K, with next day delivery available.

It was an embarrassing moment for Sadie Frost as she arrived at the British Fashion Awards show earlier this week.

As the designer, a friend of Kate Moss and the co-owner of a lingerie brand, stepped out of her car, a pair of knickers seemed to drop from somewhere about her person – although we hope they weren’t the ones she was wearing.

The 43-year-old didn’t appear to have noticed, but luckily her hairdresser friend James Brown did, the Daily Mail reports, handing them to the driver for either safe-keeping or disposal.

Aiming to showcase the best of British design styles, the event attracted a host of celebrities and their friends.

Twiggy looked edgy as usual in a sparkly silver dress with purple tights, while Erin O’Connor went for full-on glamour in a long black ball gown.

However, some stars were less successful with their red carpet attire – Jade Jagger suffered the ultimate annoyance of a hole in her tights, while Pixie Geldof appeared to have come dressed as one of the cuddly monsters from Disney Pixar’s Monsters Inc.

Importantly though, the rest of them managed to get through the night without misplacing their knickers.

Anyone who has had a similar accident to Sadie Frost may wish to pay a visit to lingerieplease.co.uk to restock on underwear for the rest of their festive parties.

With the Christmas party season only a week or two away – and with it all those gorgeous party dresses – anyone hoping to be a glamourpuss at gatherings this year should not let their underwear let them down.

Stray bra straps, as well as lumps and bumps made by material, can really spoil the line of an otherwise fabulous dress, so, with this in mind, one expert has put together a list of must-have bras.

Fanitsa Limberis of the Dallas Fashion Examiner said there are three designs of bra that every woman should own and that will cover any eventuality when it comes to clothing.

Firstly, there is the deep plunge bra for very low-cut dresses. “It will hold and give you a great shape while making the appearance of not wearing a bra,” she commented.

Secondly, the multiway low-back style, which can be altered to a halter, crisscross or below-the-waist style. “Great for a razor back tank top, or your favourite halter top,” Ms Limberis recommends.

Finally, the last but not least bra on the list is the non-slip strapless style, for dresses that call for support that is as invisible as possible. “It will stay put and let you worry more about what cocktail you are going to order next,” the underwear expert concludes.

People in need of a bit of help when it comes to selecting Christmas partywear will no doubt be relieved to know that all of these styles and more are available at lingerieplease.co.uk.

Women in the UK have reduced the amount of money they spend on underwear by 20p a week, new figures from the Office for National Statistics have shown.

This amounts to £1.10 a week, or around £57 a year, the organisation points out.

However, the average family has to spend £51.80 on housing, fuel and power, £48.10 on food and non-alcoholic drinks and £28.80 on personal transport every week.

The news comes as the high street suffers one of its worst run-ups to Christmas seen in recent times.

However, all is not lost. If you’ve been saving up your £1.10 diligently, why not pay a visit to lingerieplease.com to treat yourself in time for the festive season.

Even better, there’s currently £5 off a number of bras in the Wonderbra range, which is perfect for credit-crunching shoppers.

The site also stocks Trinny and Susannah’s Bum, Tum & Thigh Reducers, which are currently selling in their thousands as ladies plan to tuck in their lumpy bits ready for their party frocks, high street retailers have said.

They come highly recommended by Hilary Alexander, fashion director for the Telegraph, who said that women should avoid the VPL (visible panty line) at all costs, stating: “Going out with one is a total fashion disaster; you are virtually a social pariah.”

Although they cut a demure bunch on the red carpet outside, once on the stage at the American Music Awards, the stars really let heir hair down for their performances.

Christina Aguilera posed for photographers upon her arrival in a glamorous 40s-style floor length lace gown, but she performed in a racy lace bodice, the Mirror confirms.

Umbrella singer Rihanna, meanwhile, caused a stir with her on-stage ensemble of skin tight rubber.

Even Beyonce took part in the costume party, posing outside in a gown before swiftly changing into a black and white top teamed simply with some knickers.

Rihanna won favourite female artist in the soul/R&B category, as well as in the pop/rock category at the awards, which are voted for by fans online.

The singer was recently lucky enough to be taken to a luxury lingerie store in Australia by her boyfriend and fellow musician Chris Brown, who went on to treat her to approximately £400 worth of bras and knickers.

Readers may be interested to know that Charnos produce an hourglass corselette that is very similar to one of Rihanna’s tour costumes – check out lingerieplease.co.uk for more information and to have a look.

A group of students came up with an original way of persuading passers-by to go green this week – by hanging 350 pieces of underwear outside their college halls.

The group, from Allegheny College in Meadville, Pennsylvania, wanted to raise awareness about carbon emissions – 350 parts per million is the amount of carbon dioxide the earth can support before it suffers irreversible damage.

Leader Lauren Quintrell told the Meadville Tribune that they had planned on hanging out sheets, but found that their fellow students were none too keen on giving up their comfy beds, even for the sake of the environment.

“We thought ‘why not underwear?’” she commented. However, even this proved tough and the gang had to resort to raiding the university’s lost and found in order to gather enough bras and knickers.

The serious point behind the stunt was to remind people that they should hang out their smalls and other washing to dry naturally where possible, since tumble dryers use large amounts of energy.

So, what did the students gather from the experiment?

“We found out that people aren’t keen on letting you borrow their underwear,” Quintrell remarked.

Anyone thinking about recreating the students’ activism should pay a visit to lingerieplease.co.uk to make sure they can put nice, shiny new underwear on show.

Fresh from her outing in only her underwear on Halloween, Mariah Carey has said she aims to spend plenty of time in similar attire over Christmas.

The singer and her husband, Nick Cannon, rode a fire truck to the party they attended at a New York club on October 31st and were both dressed as firefighters.

However, Carey’s was decidedly skimpier than Cannon’s, comprising of a red bra and knickers set, suspenders and boots, with a token fireman’s jacket thrown in for good measure.

So, for Christmas, she told Redbook magazine, she will dress up as cheeky Mrs Claus for her husband.

Surprisingly though, she added that she would dress up whether he was there or not.

“I always get Santa lingerie, even if nobody sees it,” she commented.

The All I Want for Christmas diva also revealed that she gets the girls round for a slightly odd festive tradition – a dip in the hot tub in their bikinis, then a roll in the snow before jumping back in.

Sounds like a good way to get chill-blains to us, Mariah…

Gossard do a similar bra to the one Mariah wore on Halloween – check out lingerieplease.co.uk for a closer look.

Earlier this week, we reported how giving the wrong lingerie gift to a partner could result in tears before bedtime.

Well, we hate to say ‘I told you so’, but a report from a Chinese newspaper today (November 20th) would seem to confirm that.

Someone definitely should have shown the article to a man named in the China Daily only as Zhao.

The 45-year-old from the Guangdong province secretly bought his wife some sexy underwear after coming across it at a local lingerie outlet and presented it to her later that night. So far so good.

However, his spouse was less than impressed with his taste and accused him of “being indecent”, before directing a well-aimed kick in his direction, breaking his ankle.

The poor man had to be taken to a local hospital to have a cast fitted and the pair were forced to confess how the injury occurred.

So, to reiterate for any gentlemen out there, always do your research before buying lingerie for your partner.

Check out what colours she likes and if you are thinking of buying vampish colours such as red, make sure she is a red person, or risk ending up like poor old Zhao.
