A poor fit in female underwear is a sure way to
sabotage an otherwise great outfit! As the foundation for your
outerwear, your underwear should only be
visible if that's what you intended as a fashion statement!
And it
should always provide a firm, supportive, jiggle-free, smooth
foundation for your clothes -- all the curves in the correct places
with no extra lumps and bumps!
Regularly Replace Female Underwear
It's
a good idea to get into the habit of checking your underwear on a
regular basis (for example twice a year when you do your seasonal
wardrobe
makeover). Replace underwear that's discolored, has tired or
over-stretched elastic, or simply no longer fits.
Have underwear
for everyday wear, but don't forget to ensure you have suitable
underwear for your special occasion outfits too. How will you wear that
new low-backed, evening dress if you don't have the right
underwear for it?!
Look Instantly Slimmer (by 1-2kg/5-10lbs)
A
bonus of wearing well fitting underwear is that by getting everything
firm and in place you'll instantly look lighter! For example, if
you're larger busted you can lose up to 10lbs simply by adjusting your
bra straps to pull your bust into the correct place and give your torso
a better shape!
Another
slimming tip to disguise a roll of flesh around your middle is to wear
a (not too tight) camisole as an under garment this will smooth and
minimize your middle and will allow the outer garment to fall smoothly.
Bras

Bras are necessary for every woman, no matter what
her
breast size, for breast health and to provide a good foundation for
clothes.
Did you know that our breasts don't contain
muscle? They are made up of milk glands, fat, ligaments, blood vessels
and skin. So no amount of exercise is going to change the breast size
or shape itself (bad news for those of us with smaller or sagging
breasts).
Panties and Shapewear
With panties comfort and fit are essential, style
is a bonus!
Shapewear conjures
up images of boned-corsets and Victorian ladies being strapped into
crinolines and so on. Thankfully, we no longer have to put up with such
contraptions! Modern fabrics and construction techniques provide both
control and comfort
Panty Hose or Tights
And
finally, don't let your panty hose spoil your smooth foundations! The
waistband is often too tight, resulting in unsightly muffin-top bulges
even when your panties or shapewear knickers fit correctly.
Tips for buying panty hose...
Another
tip to extend the life of ruined control-top panty hose is to use it as
shapewear by simply cutting off the legs to the desired length.
