I decided to start the Tips and Tricks with Lingerie fundamentals because 85% of American women are wearing the wrong size!!

Your undergarments are the foundation of your wardrobe. Wearing the right size and shape is essential. The wrong bra can alter your body shape and clothing size.

1- Get measured once a year because the size of your breasts and their position can fluctuate.

2- You should be able to take a deep breathe with you bras fastened at the middle hook.

3- The center of your bra should lie flat against your rib cage. A gap means the cup size is too small.

4- Straps should never dig into your shoulders. If loosening them leaves you supportless, choose wider straps instead.

5- If the back of your bra rides up, the band size (34, 36, ect) is too large.

6- Try on several sizes for each style as they may vary by brand and by shape. You might be a 34B in one bra and 36A for another.

7- Assess your lingerie drawer every year.

8- Have a variety of bras to suit different occasions and outfits.

I hope those basics will help you assess and update your undergarments drawer and build the foundation of your perfect closet!
