Bra-blems

Illustrated by Jacqueline Davis Moranti

Everyone knows how great it feels to wear good fitting clothes, no slumps, no gaps and no bumps! When your clothes hug you in just the right way, it gives you confidence you never knew you had. But sometimes we overlook the fit of our most basic and first layer, bras. A bad fitting bra can ruin any outfit and cause some embarrassing moments, a conversation starter that no one asks for! I myself, have a love- hate relationship with bras, I've even given up on wearing "real" bras and reduced myself to bralettes and sports bras to avoid any visible panty lines.

As a woman with little to no endowments in the chest area, my biggest issue with bras is that they leave a gap at the top of the cup or cup gaping, which leaves quite a visibility under my tops and dresses. For the longest time, I wondered whether or not I would wear a "real" bra again. It can be super frustrating having "bra-blems" so much that it'll have you throwing away all of your bras or giving them away. I've recently had the opportunity to check out Thirdlove and their wonderful assortment of bras and underwear, they even let you try it out before you buy it which helps you figure out sizing and most importantly comfort. With Thirdlove I figured out that "cup gaping" is common with skinny minnies and all you have to do to solve the bra-blem is go down a cup size, adjust the straps or try a bra with an angled cup to reduce the amount of gaping. No bra is ever made equal so don't think that the bra your BFF swears by will work for you too!
