THE UNDERCOVER STORY continued…

Ready-to-Wear Underwear by Susan Neall

Never underestimate the true worth of the humble bra and knickers. As with all superbly sewn garments the success of the finished product starts in the unseen, hidden recesses of the garments internal structure and the complete, polished performance of the lucky wearer commences with those garments closest to the body – the undergarments.

Good fit starts with well-supported, perfectly fitted underwear and perfect fit ensures great comfort, attractive and appropriate support and last but not least – glamour!

Now as with all garments the sure-fire way to obtain perfect fit, unrestrained glamour and eternal comfort is to make undergarments yourself and we looked closely at this option in the November 2008 issue and the December update. But for those unlucky readers without either the time or the resources to make their own we will now discuss some of the options in ready-to-wear. Because although in an ideal world I would like you to make everything you stand up in, in reality I know many of you won’t.

The most important end result of this article however is for you, the reader, to appreciate fully the huge benefits of fitting from the inside out.

And now to shop…

THE UNDERCOVER STORY FOR ELEGANT FULL BUSTED WOMEN!

BRAS N THINGS exclusive TRULY ME lingerie collection has been especially designed for sophisticated, fuller busted women who want to buy beautiful lingerie combined with proper support.

In the past, these women have often commented on how difficult it has been to buy gorgeous bra and brief sets that were equivalent to those their smaller busted friends were able to readily access.

Bras N Things conducted Australia wide focus group research that revealed comments such as “OK, so I have a full bust but I don’t want to feel like I’m wearing a bra that makes me feel like an engineer has designed it, with only functionality in mind, and absolutley no sex appeal!  I just want bras that work and make me feel and look fabulous!  And, I want briefs to match.”

Further interesting research revealed that smaller sized women were increasing in bust size.  So it’s not unusual to find a size 10 woman requiring a D, DD or E cup bra or a size 12 woman requiring an F cup bra. (This is illustrated by the model photographed in the collection who is a perfect size 10 but with a full D cup.)

To satisfy these VIP customers, BRAS N THINGS combined their obvious expertise with excellence in design. The result a superb collection of lingerie called Truly Me. 

This Spring/Summer collection goes from classic white – perfect for that bridal trousseau – through to ‘must have’ fashion forward colours including aqua, blush, fairy floss, navy, ocean blue and timeless latte and black.

For example: 

BRAS N THINGS Truly Me “Sapphire” bra – available in sizes 12DD through to 18F – combines an elegant navy and aqua printed leaf design with an aqua lace trim.   This bra gives full cup cover and the wider lace covered strap gives proper shoulder support.   Team it back to a high hipster brief and the result is that feeling of proper support combined with sheer elegance!

And, BRAS N THINGS Truly Me ‘Riviera’ lace full cup bra is the perfect bra for high summer or for wearing under a white wedding dress.  Its imported lace has a chic scalloped edge and whilst it contains the bust it shows off a little décolletage!  Team it back to a bikini brief with a lace front.   Riviera is available from size 10D through to 18E.

BRAS N THINGS Truly Me ‘Arabesque’ features a lace contoured full cup with a matching mini V.  The bra is available in sizes 10DD through to 16E.

BRAS N THINGS Truly Me ‘Charlotte’ features an embroidered mircrofibre fabric – the colour is blush and sizing goes from 12D to 18E.  Add a matching brief for a luxurious look.

Pricing for this exclusive Truly Me collection start at AU$44.99 for the bra and AU$16.99 for the briefs.
