10 tricks to buy a bra

As anyone who knows me well, knows I love lingerie. When I go back to retail its always in that department. I am an expert and love helping women be comfortable in their bras. I believe our foundation is important so that the rest of our clothes look great. So ladies, here are my top 10 tips on how to buy a good bra

1. GET MEASURED! You do NOT know your size. 85% of the time women are wrong about their size. If the words I THINK come out of your mouth or its been longer than a year.... then get measured!
2. Ask for HELP! Unless you are shopping with me or have spent 3 plus years in the lingerie industry, you probably need help. Please we are all girls, just ask for it. Cause an uncomfortable bra just sucks, in more ways the one. It doesn't do anything for you, nor does it feel good on. Plus different brands and styles fit differently and do different things. You are probably a different size in some of them!
   
3. Adjust the straps to you. Get the sales associate to help you a friend... someone. Straps are adjustable for a reason, no two torsos are exactly the same. So please adjust the straps so that it fits your torso.
   
4. Bras should be tighter not looser. When you take off your bra you should see a line where it was. This line disappears in 10-20 minuets, if after half an hour you still have lines... then your in the wrong size.
5. Finger space. You should be able to put two fingers under the clasp and on finger on the front. If you can't too tight. If you can pull the band away very easily with out any tension away from your body too lose.
   
6. Bra's break into our bodies. The band wears and cups mold to us. A bra should be about 85-90% comfortable in the fitting room. If it is a 110% comfortable, it doesn't fit.
   
7. NO SPILLAGE. You should not be spilling out of the cups, or having the four boob look. Please put on a nice white thin t-shirt and see how the bra looks under clothes.
8. Bras are proportional. If the cup is right but the band is to tight, go up a band a down a cup; if the bands too loose, go down a band and up a cup.
   
9. Yes Nude. You need a nude bra. Get over it. White will show under white.
   
10. Find your styles. Figure out your shape and what flatters your body. If you are full and narrow then you will do well with plunges, full coverage, triangle shapes. If you are heavy and wide then you will do better in demi, balconette, a flatter line.
