Have you ever been wearing a dress and thought to yourself, “I wish I had more/less cleavage to complement this dress. Well Wonderbra have come up with a new invention, something we have seen similar versions of before. A bra that has a string so that you can adjust the cleavage you have.

Many of us who have  less of a bust will go out and want a padded bra to enhance our figure and give us a better overall appearance. How much cleavage is too much? Some of us do not want too much enhancing for certain occasions. A nice dress can look great with a slight cleavage but you don’t want the same cleavage as say the Wonderbra Full Effect would give you if you are going for drinks with work. So this invention gives you the ability to choose what cleavage you want depending on the situation.

What do you think of a variable cleavage bra? Is it something you would go for? Or would you choose a different bra for each occasion?

The Only Way Is Essex star Cara Kilbey has stepped out in a very revealing dress. The star is single after having dalliances with men on the set of TOWIE such as flirtation with Mick Norcross. In true TOWIE style Cara was recently in the news for saying that she broke up with her first boyfriend and decided to get a breast augmentation to annoy him. So it was no surprise that she wanted to show off her enhanced assets almost exposing herself in a floor length dress didn’t look intentional.

The star attended the ‘Magic Mike’ premiere and looked a little worse for wear on leaving; Cara was without a bra on this occasion and unfortunately due to the very low neckline of the dress had to spend the entire night holding up her dress. The dress also had a split up the leg and whilst trying to gather her dress to avoid exposing her top she inadvertently exposed her bottom half as she was most likely wearing a thong due to the clingy nature of the dress.

Mischa Barton has been pictured in her underwear recently, running down the street in her bra and knickers after getting out of a taxi and her dress getting stuck in the door.

Do not fear! This is all for a music video with the very talented Noel Gallagher for his new video. Whilst it looked accidental on the pictures it was actually as part of his funny video which features the star who you may recognize from the TV programme ‘The OC’.

The star looked fantastic in her underwear and has a lot more confidence than we do to go running down the road in her underwear, we think she looks great in her t-shirt bra and high waisted briefs!

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?

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!

And here at Lingerie Please, we have a few suggestions what could work with Alesha’s amazing style!

Including, our inexpensive different coloured multiway bras, with straps or without…So you really can have the best of both worlds.

Mad Men is an American television series set in the 1960s and based around an advertising agency. The series highlights the sexism problems of being a women working in the 1960s and is all about powerful women some of whom use there sexuality to get to where they want to be. The fashion is amazing and the old adverts such as the 60s lingerie adverts recently showed in the ad breaks of the remake.

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?

Maria Fowler was recently pictured in lingerie emblazoned with the scottish flag in a recent photoshoot for a magazine.

The star recently moved to Perth to be with boyfriend Lee Croft. No doubt this was a great career move but it will have also impressed footballer Lee Croft no end!

The star looked great in her blue and white knickers and bra. She left for the football season leaving her trusty Essex behind for a season in Scotland.

We can hear wedding bells soon!

It may not surprise you to know that the average bra size is increasing since the early manufacturing days of bra‘s and lingerie. The answers to why bra sizes are increasing may surprise you.

A survey has found that a larger cup size and a smaller back size can give you greater comfort and help your posture. Women are getting familiar with this idea and are deciding to choose bra’s with a smaller back and larger cup to increase comfort and also the appearance of their bust.

It is a large misconception that women who are larger in size in turn have larger bra sizes and it has been found that women of smaller frames are too experiencing an increase in bust size. This is due to a number of factors including the increase in the use of contraception and also the increase in things like plastic surgery.

Here at Lingerie Please we try to cater for people of all sizes with our range of large bra’s so if a larger bust size is something you struggle with have a look on our website or give us a call.
