Hi loves! Happy mid week to you all!!
I know you are probably counting down the exact minutes to the weekend! I know I sure am! Sacramento’s annual brew fest is this Saturday and I honestly can not wait! It’s always a grand ol’ time with my friends.
I recently casted a poll on my Instagram asking if my lady followers wanted advice on finding bras that actually fit or clothes that flatter for their specific body type. Winner was bras that fit! Let’s get to it. Let’s talk undergarments! They honestly couldn’t be more important! Here’s why…
I want to make this as clear as possible. You can have on the most AMAZING outfit ever. However, if you don’t have proper undergarments as your foundation (especially a well fitting bra and yes underwear is important too) it will immediately take away from any outfit!
Absolutely love this Natori feathers bra! Sexy and comfy. Go up a cup size!! Step one: A proper, legitimate bra fitting at Nordstrom in their lingerie department. This will change your life forever sis! You should not want to feel like ripping off your bra by lunch hour! I use to work at Nordstrom and this was the very first department of many I worked in. I absolutely loved it. I felt every day I made a difference in the world. The most common issue is women wearing bras that are too big in the band and too small in the cup! Did you know 9/10 ladies are in the wrong size bra?!
Nordstrom’s policy for becoming bra fit certified was tougher than I ever thought it’d be. My managers would have to check off on any bra fitting for months until I was certified. It was one of the most educational experiences of my life! I have personally fit women for bras who were a B cup all the way to a double J. Nordstrom has a TON of beautiful, quality bras but let me tell you about their variety! They carry anything from push-up bras, to nursing, to plus size, to sports bras, strapless, bralettes and much, much more!
This is the best strapless bra, EVER! https://m.shop.nordstrom.com/s/wacoal-red-carpet-convertible-strapless-bra/3236610
Here are a few tips to make sure you are in the right size bra ladies:
- Make sure you aren’t spilling right out of the cup or that the cup isn’t too big with excess fabric from the bra.
- Be positive your straps are in the center of your shoulder not slipping off! Adjust if needed!
- The front center of the bra should always lay flat against your chest when raising arms straight up. Not pulling away from your body!
- The bra band should lay in the very center of your back. Not rising upward.
- Last, wash on delicate in a garment bag and hang to dry!!
When wearing the right size bra you will be comfortable! Look thinner! Have better posture AND your clothes will look phenomenal! 🔥🔥⚡️
Go get that bra fitting! Especially if it’s been awhile, you’ve lost or gained weight, or if you’ve had a baby or two! You can thank me later!
Always here to help or answer any questions! Until next time my loves💋
