Undergarments, Underwear And Lingerie For Fuller Figures
The right outfit starts with the right underwear, it is the base that makes everything else look great! Did you know that your bra only lasts 6-12 months? Some brands and bras may last longer than others, but after 6 months or so of repeated wash and wear, bras start to lose their elasticity and change shape. If you have not had a professional bra fitting in the last year, then it’s time to get some expert advice.
The right bra is especially important when you have a more than an average cup size, a beautiful fuller figure, or if your body is going through significant change due to pregnancy (understand breast changes during and after pregnancy and where to get a nursing bras here), postpartum, general menstrual cycle, weight loss and/or gain, and menopause. These can happen to everyone at different times, so remember your body doesn’t stop changing just because you’ve hit puberty. It’s important to find the right fit for you at the right time!
