Importance of Good Foundations

Nobody would build a house without good foundations. The same principle can be applied to dressing. Never underestimate the importance of well-fitting underwear – it is the foundation of every outfit or look you put together.

The biggest investment anyone can make in the overall look is to wear a proper-fitting bra. As seen on programmes such as Off the Rails, 80% of women are wearing the wrong-size bra. A proper-fitting bra changes your whole shape and how clothes look on you. Straps too tight cause back rolls, not to mention underarm skin, backache and poor posture.

Here’s simple check you can do at home to see if your bra if providing you with adequate support. Stand in front of a long mirror. Your bust should be half way between your shoulders and your elbow. If your bust is sitting closer to the height of your elbow, your clothes won’t look their best on you. We’d recommend that you go for a bra fitting or adjust your bra straps so they provide more support.

Invest in good shape-wear. It will add an instant injection of confidence in your look. No matter what size you are or what problem areas you have, there is shape-wear to help you.
