The Right Brassiere!

Did you know that a perfectly lovely dress can be ruined by the wrong bra? It happens all the time. Brassieres, like dresses and pants, come in all shapes and sizes. You have to learn to choose the right one based on occasion, (possibly) mood, and over-clothing fabric. Ladies, help me out. Am I missing any here?

Victoria Secret Miracle Lace Bra

Lace bras, we know, are sexy when a lady's clothes are off (matching panties included of course). Some lace bras have boosting fibers underneath to help ladies with less-than-adequate "packages." Sometimes, the fibers are just there to provide some coverage. (Well, depends on whether anyone else will take a peek, yeah?) Yet, even lace bras can be the WRONG choice for your night-out. If you plan on wearing a lycra or even silk dress/top like Ms. Kelly has on below, please avoid lace bras! It will draw attention away from the beauty of your dress to what is underneath... and believe me, not in a good way!

 Another faux pas I have observed has to do with the current lace/see-through fashion craze. Ladies (or gents looking out for your women), if you are wearing any kind of fabric that is see-through around the shoulders especially, please take my advice. Wear a strapless bra. It does not even have to be VS: we won't see it. It hurts to see a nice red or yellow lace top displaying a white bra underneath. I don't care if the bra is washed/clean. Imagine the gorgeous dress below with white bra straps dancing underneath: distasteful!

You also need strapless bras for such clothing as seen on Michelle of Bombchell.com below.
