One of the questions I always get asked as a plus size women, is “how do you create a chic polished look?” I always answer with you must start with good foundation. If you don’t have on good undergarments no matter how cute your outfit is, ill-fitted undergarments can throw the whole look off.
The next question I get is how to find a good bra for full figured women. Here are four things I consider when looking for a good bra:
- Band size and cup size that fits you comfortably. I recently got to try Soma’s Bodify Bra. Bodify is available in 3 styles and 43 sizes from A-H! What I like about this bra is the patent pending, innovative Flexicup™ technology with self-adjusting material that stretches and recovers to form to my figure.
- The level of support and lift you need. Everyone’s body is different and the level of support and lift you need is different. However Bodify’s Smart Bra™ design offers lift and flex without cutting in or gapping no matter what your bra size. Also the patent pending Floataway Wire™ in airflow mesh moves with you, while adjustable Get a Grip straps with soft spandex gripper stay put–keeping you comfortably held.
- The style of bra that suits your body type and clothing. It is import to find out the type of bra that fits your body. As someone that wears a C cup it is important that I get a bra that provides good coverage and lifts to give me a more fuller look. Also, depending on what you are wearing you may need a bra that gives you coverage but does not show. Bodify now offers 3 styles: Demi – low cut lift, Perfect Coverage – classic coverage, Front-Close – clasps in the front and crisscrosses in the back.
- The quality of materials and construction of the bra. I always look for soft, comfy fabric and wires that don’t dig or irritate. That also can keep up with my movement. The Bodify bra is made with Smart Bra™ technology, which makes this bra uniquely able to mold to your body shape and stay in place.
I also recommend going to a local Soma store to get measured by a professional to determine your correct bra size and try on different styles of the Bodify to find the one that fits you best.
