What Lies Beneath Your Foundation Garments?

Have you ever seen a great outfit ruined, unknown by the wearer, by the under garments? This crime is rampant around town. Crimes include but are not limited to, insufficiently supportive bras, visible panty lines (VPL's) rolls, and wrinkles. You, as the designer of your own outfit have control here. Do something now!

Most women are walking around unknowingly wearing the wrong size bra. Statistics estimate that approximately 85% of women are wearing the wrong size. Often observers can tell size and fit are a problem because the cups are full to the brim and overflowing, or seemingly empty cups with lots of wrinkles because the size is too big. This problem is very easy to fix. Ladies, go and let a specialist fit you with the proper size. Many department and specialty stores offer this service. It only takes a few minutes and most stores provide this service free of charge. You will be very pleased with the results of wearing the right size bra.

When the bust-line is like a low hanging fruit (located around the elbows or lower) you make yourself look older. When you bring the bust-line up to midway between the shoulders and the elbow, you have made yourself look more youthful. The right size bra will complement you in many ways.

Also important, is to wear the correct type of bra for your outfit. Straps should not show; if you are planning to wear a halter, strapless or racer-back top, buy the right bra that works with the top. Bras come in many shapes and sizes, buy the one that fits your specific need, and dress well.

VPL's can definitely make a mess of your outfit. So think hard before you put on your next pair of underwear. If your underwear is too loose, it will cause wrinkles to show underneath your clothes. If it is too tight you will see the VPL's. Neither look is optimal. What can you do? There are options. Have you considered the thong or g-string, these can minimize lines or create a few of their own!

Undergarments like Spanx are also a possibility. These not only get rid of lines, they also remove some of you! Or at least get a serious grasp on you! Undergarments with spandex can slim you down quite a bit. They can make a shirt, skirt, dress or slacks lie flat and smooth against your body in a way you can only dream about, when you are not wearing them. They come in various lengths, thigh, knee, calf, and ankle. All this variety should cover all your needs.

I have tried some of the Spanx on, for me breathing was an issue. I have heard some women say they have worn 2 pair at once. I am sure they achieved a smooth look but could they move and breathe easily?

The thing to remember is there are many options available. Undergarments do not last forever so be sure and do a refresh regularly to make sure they are still working hard for you! So get rid of all those unsightly lines and be optimally dressed everyday with the right foundation.
