b.tempt’d Lace Kiss Bralette, $18
I got the opportunity last week to check out the latest fall collections of intimate apparel and shapewear for Wacoal and its younger, contemporary line, b.tempt’d. I took in ultra thin shapewear (the iPant), tasteful corsetry by b.tempt’d, and just generally beautiful and incredibly tactile bras and undies by both labels. I was lucky to walk away with a bra of my choice, and discovered very much to my surprise that I was not anywhere near the bra size that I thought, and have been buying for year! Below, some of my favorites from the line, available at Wacoal-America.com or BareNecessities.com, AND some tips from Wacoal’s bra expert- Liz Smith!
The Eight Bras Every Woman Needs
- One seamed bra
- One seamless, unlined bra
- One contour bra
- One strapless bra
- One T-Back or racerback bra
- A push-up or minimizing bra (depending on your figure type)
- One sport bra
- One drop dead sexy bra
Bra Facts
8 out of 10 women wear the wrong sized bra ( I can unfortunately attest to that!)
A woman should be fitted once a year
If you gain 5 – 7 lbs, your bra size will change
It only takes 15 minutes to be fitted for a bra
Most women wear their bras 1 – 1 ½ inches too big in the band and 1 cup size too small
