Ladies with cup sizes larger than a D cup, how many times have you gone bra shopping and not been sure what cup size letter is yours? A 38E, 38F and 38DDD can all be the same cup size! Bet you didn't know that? Confusion abounds because bra manufacturers only agree on what to call cup sizes AA, A, B, C, and D. Bigger than D, and you find yourself in a quagmire of different letters.

Especially at an elegant and classy event like the Met Gala 2012? Well, this year Gwyneth Paltrow sported her version of the look in her custom made Prada gown. Her dress featured a high-cut halter front with deep-cut sides leaving her at risk for a little side spillage. My guess is that she was wearing good old fashion tape to keep her dress in place. In fact, if
you look carefully, the side edge of the satin is kind of crinkled.
We understand Gwyneth's desire to offer a little sex appeal but I feel she only ended up looking saggy and unsupported – not a good look on anyone. The challenge o

For backless options, look for a bra like the Fashion Forms Backless Strapless U Plunge. This style has staying-power with surgical grade adhesive along the sides and inside the cups. But this bra wouldn't have worked with Gwyneth's dress simply because it was cut so narrow down the center, leading us to believe that this was just the wrong dress for her frame.

What ever happened to designers creating gowns for women with features that enhance and accentuate? That was definitely not the case for Beyonce's Givenchy dress at the 2012 Met Gala. Not only was the dress unflattering from behind –

Let's start with the back. We all know Beyonce has naturally beautiful curves but this panty-looking rear does her no favors and actually makes her look wider from behind. What's
The illusion was completely lost! We've all seen fashion like this where the illusion is that you're nude underneath. Well, not in this case. It looks just awful. You can see the nude tone is a few shades lighter than her skin tone, making her skin look washed out and strange under the flashing lights. This I would expect from a dress off the rack but not a custom made couture gown, and not on uber styled people like Beyonce!
