Best Bras For the Fiercely Real

Don’t get your panties in a bunch trying to find your perfect bra! Finding a bra that fits you just right is SO important! Not only will a well fitting bra eliminate back pain, it can also make you look slimmer! Yup! A bra that truly fits can make you look a whole dress size smaller – or about 10 pounds lighter! Here’s the 4-1-1 on what you need to know before you hit the lingerie department:

•    Get fitted!
Even if you think you know your bra size, get a professional to measure you. You don’t want to be squished in a C if you’re really a DD.

•    Look for bras with 3 and 4 hook closures. They may not be the sexiest, but they provide critical support big busted girls like you need!                                                                                                                                                     

•    Loosen those straps! If your bra is leaving red grooves in your shoulders, the straps are too tight.                      

•    Splurge on at least one sexy bra!
While every girl needs basic bras in nude and black, you also need at least one lacey, girly bra that makes you feel sexy!

I got fitted a few years ago, and was shock that I was wearing the wrong size.. I was wearing a much larger back size(36 D) when I needed a 34DD(what a difference) I feel much more supported and feel smaller as well.. so girls make sure you get fitted asap!!

Sure bra shopping can be fun, and maybe a bit more complicated when you are a D or DD but what happens when you are tiny with a set of EE's? it's so not so fun.

Ms Tyra, i thank you for the advice but i always don't match the bra and panties, how i'd wish to get all the sexy bras and panties i want. But all the same those ones up there are very beautiful and nice.

Danetta Dunphy

I am big busted but i can't stand under wire bras. Any suggestions on what to buy that isn't under wire but will give me a nice uplift?

Girls, try on as many bras as you can. If it don't feel good in the store then it probably wont feel good when you get home. And keep it sexy even if you dont have a man at the present moment.
