There comes a time in every young girl’s life where she goes to be fitted for her first bra. A sentimental time for her and her mother as a measuring tap goes around her chest to reveal her size. But does bra shopping get any easier as we get older. Does your bra size change from shop to shop and differ with the styles you try. Fitting has always been left in the hands of the shop assistants armed with a measuring tape but is this really accurate? Well now in the 21st century there is a scientific way to get measured and it comes from to ex Microsoft workers.

Michelle Lam and Aarthi Ramamurthy have developed a survey that claims to give you an accurate bra fit online. In the survey you are asked questions such as “Where does your bra hurt you and how do your straps feel on your shoulders?” They consider your body shape as a whole and understand that not everyone’s breasts are the same shape. Therefore certain bras will suit different shaped breasts.

So will you adopt this new way of fitting or stick to the trusted measuring tape?

Alexandra Burke recently took to the stage in a dress with a sheer wide panel down the front so that you could see the majority if her breasts at the front. A lot of critics have said she should have worn a bra as her bigger bust didn’t look to have the support she needed.

Showing a bit of boob is becoming really popular in Hollywood with a lot of stars choosing to wear plunging necklines, sheer panels and showing their side cleavage. Your side cleavage is the side of your breast which should be revealed very slightly for an alluring look. Some celebrities have taken this to the extreme with near accidents happening. If you are hoping to take on this trend then remember less is more. It should be a suggestion of flesh rather than revealing the whole thing.

If you want a reference of how to go braless and still look alluring then Rosie Huntington Whiteley does it with such class and elegance that she looks alluring.

If you have a larger bra size you can still reveal something if you like but reveal the front as Alexandra has done but don’t reveal as much!

Finally the summer sun is here and it’s time to get tanned. Bikinis are a summer favourite but with so many different styles it hard to chose the right one for you .
String tie bikini bottoms are great. The tie string quality means that the bottoms can be adjusted to how tight or loose you want them. The also gives you less of a tan line as the strings are very thin leaving you with only a small about of covered flesh on your hips. Try the Lepel Polka Passion Tie Side Bikini for just £14
Thick strapped bikini bottoms offer more support and coverage for the wearer. With the thick strap bottom you don’t run the risk of a tight string digging into your side that some may experience with the string tie. Try thye Bond Eye Nip Tuck Trim Front Pant for £29
Shape and cut of our bikini bottoms very as well to suit all. We have wide back bottoms that offer full overage of your behind. Or for the more daring of you we have suffer style cuts that show off a bit of check to the sun.
So whatever you style Lingerie Please wish you lots of fun in the sun.

Rihanna was recently pictured in a gold bandeau bra in a Cleopatra style shoot and last night she was pictured in another bandeau bra, this time it was a black bandeau bra which appears to be her new go to look.

The star isn’t unused to being in her lingerie as she has previously posed in her bikini and also in her bra and knickers for Armani.

The star was visiting an Italian restaurant in Santa Monica and she paired with her white bandeau bra a see through crocheted skirt which we are sure would have shocked a few of the diners!

Rihanna was wearing flesh coloured knickers under her see through skirt and had no visible knicker line which created the illusion of it being completely see through.

Rihanna is one to try new things and experiment. What do you think? Do you love Rihanna’s style?

Nicole Sherzinger almost flashed her knickers at the MIB premiere last night! The star always looked lovely and is famous for her amazing figure which made her famous in the Pussy Cat Dolls which was a pop group inspired by a burlesque dance troupe.

Nicole decided to ‘do an Angelina Jolie’ and go for split up the leg of her dress. You couldn’t see her bra in the see-through corset of the dress it was some much disguised lingerie. However with the slightest gust of wind you would have been able to see her knickers!

Boyfriend Lewis Hamilton looked on as struggled down the steps clutching the material of her dress and guided her by hand towards the cinema.

Nicole Sherzinger looked fabulous despite the wardrobe malfunction but then again we always love her here at Lingerie Please!

Lingerie model Georgia Salpa is fmaous for taking off her clothes and she has recently done some work for Panache lingerie where she looked great in sugary pastel lingerie.

We were not shocked when she was voted 5th sexiest woman in the FHM list as her popularity in Big Brother and the amount of coverage she has received due to her gorgeous figure has meant that she has become a firm favourite in the eye of the nation.

Georgia Salpa looked great in her white bikini which was under-wired due to her DD size bust and also had lovely brazilian bikini bottoms.

What do you think about the FHM list? Who would you have voted for?

Danielle Lloyd unfortunately had her implants done some time ago and so she fell victim of the faulty implants that were being administered during that time and had to have them taken out. Danielle said that she was feeling much more confident since having her implants removed due to feeling safer without them. She also said she was used to the look of her AA breasts which must have been a shock as she was a much bigger size for quite some time having her breasts done earlier.

Danielle looked great in her swimwear and it is nice to see her with so much confident in her bikini as she previously had a hard time with almost losing a leg previously in a nightclub incident and since the faulty implants. We are so happy to see Danielle with a smile on her face again and looking great.

A crazy “Ice Pack Bra” has been invented to keep you cool during the summer. The new bra was unveiled by Triumph in Tokyo the place for innovative inventions. The new super cool bra has gel pads which should be put in the freezer for two hours to freeze them before inserting them into the bra. The bra weirdly is also adorned with a sprig of mint and a miniature wind chime.

Both cups of the bra have been designed to look like fishbowls with a fish and seaweed pattern. This cooling bra however will not be going on sale and we can’t help but feel disappointed. Although we do not live in a hot country the idea in premise is actually quite good! The bra was supposed to help in a country which was expecting a large electricity shortfall.

What do you think of the ice pack bra? If it was to be sold would you buy it?

Anthea Turner is a television favourite and famous for such shows as Blue Peter and Wish You Were Here. Anthea has been part of breast cancer charities for a while and so it was no surprise when she turned up at midnight last night for the MoonWalk marathon to raise money for breast cancer. Like many of those that take part in this walk, Anthea and her friends have been affected by breast cancer with the people close by to them having experienced it.

Anthea will be remembering her friend and former co presenter Caron Keating who died in 2004 aged just 41. The MoonWalk is such a positive experience. It is a joyous way to remember those we know and love who were strong enough to fight the disease and also to help in creating a cure.

The walk consists of many women walking at night in there bras and is a funny occasion with everyone laughing and joking whilst thinking of the people they have lost and the greater cause.

We at Lingerie Please think Anthea Turner has been very inspirational taking part in this walk and we applaud her for walking down the street in her bra for this cause!
