Has 2008 been a great year for curves?

This year we’ve seen even more emphasis than 2007 on waist clinching belts, and tailored fabrics that accentuate the bustline and bum which is great, but what options are out there for women who already have an accentuated bustline & bum?.

Research has also shown that TV Shows like How to Look Naked, Undress The Nation and What Not To Wear has increased customer demand for different styles & garment types, so maybe we’ll see more options for clothing for plus sized women as well as BBSB girls.

Below dress, £75 from  Bravissimo which comes in Sizes 8-16 (Curvy, Really Curvy & Super Curvy) made in sizes that complement the BBSB woman.

Too often I see women with the wrong sized bra on, there are many things you can look for when buying and trying on a new bra to see if it fits you CORRECTLY. Even those of you who have been recently fitted and know your bra size will have often come across a situation where you have picked up your size bra from a different shop or a different brand to find it doesn’t fit you.

4 tips on Bra Buying

1. Get Fitted ( either at a shop like Bravissimo or check out some online guides)

2. Always try it on where possible (look at the way it feels and fits you may need to go up or down a cup depending on different brands)

3. Send it back or take it back if it does not fit you.

4. Watch the Simply Yours Video on Bra Problem Solving to see what to look for in an ill fitted bra
