Lingerie Please Blog

The average bra size is increasing and has been doing for some time. Women’s bras are now better made to fit and people are realising that usually the back size on their bra is too big and the cup size too small and so the cup size of the average woman is increasing. The back size in women is also increasing, due to the average clothes size increasing from a size 14-16 in recent years.

One brand has decided to grow with the trend and create the world’s biggest strapless bra. This is no mean feat as the bra must have the correct support due to the weight of the breasts as well as being able to hold up the breasts without falling down. The bra also does something that a lot of bigger sized bras don’t do and that is look appealing. This bra is really pretty with its sheer fabric and print available in fuchsia and bright colours.

If y0u have a bigger bust you can now wear strapless bras with lingerie retailers just how important great strapless bras are for the bigger bust.

For those of you that have seen the Met Gala pictures of the amazing outfits and gorgeous beauty looks then you will have seen there were many parallels between the actresses and stars.

A lot of the stars went for an old Hollywood glamour style with many of them sporting a dark lip and glossy 40 styles hair with some of them wearing it to one side and waved or pin curled and up. The dresses focused on a womanly Mad Men type figure. Many stars went for backless dress which would have meant wearing no bra or a backless bra to create that hourglass figure, either that or they have such fantastic figures they do not need to wear a bra.

We especially loved the busty looks of Amber Heard and January Jones the way to get a look like this would be a great strapless bra that will give you all the lift you need whilst not showing any straps.

With all the dresses coming up the red carpet we started to think where do they get their lingerie because some of the dresses are so extravagant it would be difficult to be able to have the perfect bra for each dress? Perhaps they all own a Wonderbra Multiplunge Bra?

Who was your favourite at the met Gala? Ours was Camilla Belle although Jessica Alba looked very glamorous too!

According to an online survey, one third of women would rather have big breasts instead of a high IQ. A survey conducted of 1,100 18-25 year olds found that 41% of women would rather have bigger breasts than a high IQ because it would make them ‘feel happier’.

44% of the respondents would rather have a ‘slim figure’ than high intelligence, with 29 percent saying having a slim figure would make them more confident. This survey could be as a result of how women feel men view them, with 59% thinking appearance is much more important to intelligence. This also could be due to a survey released last year that found that thin women earned more than there average weight counterparts.

We at Lingerie Please think that being thin shouldn’t have such a massive hold over you, appearance is important but only if its for yourself and not as a result of what other people may think. Flaunt your curves and just wear some great shapewear, you will have more of a laugh enjoying your figure and your life rather than obsessing over things like your weight!

After recently reading  an article it put a lot about my life into perspective. The idea of how many bras that are now a grey white or never been worn because I don’t like the shape that I have lying around in my underwear draw really astounds me.

Underwear is something personal to all of us but when you check around you realise that you seem to have a million bras perhaps not even as part of a set and most certainly not many that you would wear.

The solution to this? Well it has been done in clothes before but what about  a capsule lingerie draw? De clutter your life making room for just what you need with a bra for every occasion.

Feel like you have spring cleaned and made an investment in the future. No more unsightly bras that you will never wear and always the perfect bra for every dress.

The Push Up Bra

For when you need it most, to make you look enhanced in any type of dress. This bra can also double as a sexy bra if you team with some great knickers.

The Strapless Bra

Needed for that strapless dress or a scoop neck to be able to hide any unsightly straps and also to hold you in place no matter the size.

The Multiway Bra

The multiway for when you are wearing a one shoulder dress or a racer back and a strapless bra is still too revealing.

The T-Shirt Bra

For everyday, can be nude white or black but offers a soft and smooth option to a plunge or balconette for every day.

The Balconette Bra 

The balconette bra is the sexy alternative to a plunge bra and ideal for looking great without the extra cleavage as it evenly distributes the weight.

Red Chemise

One way to gain a bit of exposure in the fashion world is to flash some flesh. When we think back to Kate moss in the 90s with see through blouses we can rememebr the controversy this caused in all the magazines.

One designer in Rome has decided to go that one bt further and unveil a dress with a large breast on the front. Promoting the idea perhaps that ‘breast is best’?.

The dress featured a crop top with long sleeves with a large boob on the front and a large voluminous skirt in the same flesh toned colour.

There is no need for a bra with a dress like that! Instead of two breasts the designer decided to just put the one.

The show also featured a strapless gown which had fallen due to the models small bust and the weight of the dress. Perhaps a strapless bra would have protected her modesty?

Here at Lingerie Please we think this sort of fashion is best left to Lady Gaga! What do you think?

Wonderbra Ultimate Strapless Lace Ivory

Jessica Jane Clement looked simply stunning at the Margin Call Premiere in a cut out dress.

The bright pink dress featured a cut out chest and under the bust, showing off a large cat tattoo on her leg. With a revealing dress like this you need the perfect strapless bra to hold you up and give you the correct shape.

Lingerie Please always gets told by its customers that the Wonderbra Ultimate Strapless is the best choice even if you have a bigger bust due to its five finger technology. We think this is definitely the bra Jessica Jane Clement would have used to enhance her figure! Not that it needs much enhancing!
