Lingerie Laws Broken at the Oscars
February 27, 2012
Cleavage wasn't the scene stealer at this year's Academy Awards but it certainly made an appearance. Jennifer Lopez was a top contender, showcasing maximum cleavage in a deep plunge gown but as she presented on stage, it seemed her breasts were on the verge of a nip slip. It's a price you pay for such a daring fashion.
But with a little help from fashion tape, it can be pulled off without a wardrobe malfunction. In fact, it was mentioned during the broadcast that Lopez was already back stage “preparing” for her later appearance. She was probably flanked by stylists and being taped in place to prevent any possible mishap.
Viol
a Davis also chose a low cut style but her cleavage wasn't as flattering. It looks like the Best Actress nominee went
bra-less – not the best choice for her. You can see she doesn’t have enough upper breast fullness, and without support – her breasts are spreading under her arms. A simple solution – she should have worn a demi strapless bra to give her a plunging yet rounded and full look without sacrificing support.
Gwyneth Paltrow wowed in a gorgeous Tom Ford gown but her bra-less look didn't deliver modesty. Her look would have been flawless with an easy fix – nipple covers, to keep the focus on her overall style instead of her headlights.

Don't Be Afraid of Larger Cup Sizes
February 23, 2012
Many of you may have seen the photo of Kim Kardashian full frontal in
W Magazine wearing nothing but silver body paint. The article said she’s a DD cup size. WRONG! She is a much larger cup size. In fact, word on the lingerie street says she’s a 32GG – a full 5 cup sizes larger.
So, why the lie? In my opinion, women and men don’t recognize anything past a DD. Saying you’re a DD communicates you have a voluptuous figure while still being sexy. Any bigger cup size sounds, well, kind of fat or floppy. This is such a shame, because many women are walking around in bras with cup sizes too small. And, many don’t know that there are at least 10 larger cup sizes to choose from.
Women need to get over this. No matter what your actual cup size is, you need to be in the correct size if you want to optimize your assets. No one will know your size but you. So, if you are in a DD cup size, consider going up a cup size or two. You will probably be amazed at how good you will look, how much thinner you feel, and how more comfortable you will become.

Is Your Contour Bra Gapping?
February 16, 2012
We have been performing a lot of bra fittings at HerRoom recently. It's been fascinating to see the bras women come in wearing.
Most are showing up with a contour cup bra. This means the cups are molded into a specific shape and then lined with a thin layer of foam for modesty. Not only are these women in the wrong bra size, but women with heavy breasts and/or breast sizes larger
than a D cup are showing up in these contour cup bras and they are gapping along the top edges of the bra.
Why the gap? It's because heavy breast weight is causing the cup shape to be strained and thus, gap.
But
there is a solution. There are som
e contour cup bras that have an elasticized edge along the top of the cup. This elastic better molds to your natural breast shape and thus reduces or eliminates this gapping. And, if your breasts are uneven in size – and most women are – this elasticized upper cup goes a long way in giving you a custom fit.
My favorite contour bras with this feature are the Simone Perele Caressence 12J316 and the Chantelle Pure Memory Foam 3612. Both give your breasts a great custom shape due to the memory foam they use, and best of all, do not gap!
