Cleavage...?

 

To be confident and appear confident you need to walk tall.  Have you ever sat at an airport or in a cafe and watched people walk past?  Some walk upright looking ahead of them whilst others walk with their shoulders slouched, looking at the floor.  Which ones look the happiest?  The most confident?  What do the others look like?

 

As your confidence increases, you should begin to pay attention to the way you carry yourself, and how confidently you walk.  Other people will notice - it really does make a difference, not to mention that it's far better for your back to stand up properly. 

 

So what does this have to do with cleavage I hear you ask!

 

Well, while anyone of any size and shape can stand with poor posture, if you have any size of chest at all, it is almost impossible to walk tall when you are wearing the wrong sized bra.  I know, I tried for years. 

 

For years and years, Marks & Spencer's bras only went up to a D cup.  If you were any bigger than that, you'd just have to keep increasing the back size until the cup fitted.  But this meant that the back strap wasn't giving sufficient support and most or ALL of the weight of  your chest was hanging on the two soft fleshy areas  just inside your shoulders.  If you have two huge grooves where your bra straps go, you definitely need help!

 

The shops and department stores these days are improving dramatically in terms of the range of bra sizes they stock, but the absolute best of all is Bravissimo. 

Bravissimo started off as a mail order company and specialises in bras and swimwear from a D-K cup.  Not only that, but as Bravissimo has grown, they have pressured the bra manufacturers to make pretty bras in large cup sizes.  Hooray! 

 

Bravissimo has an online shop, but we highly recommend that you visit one of their high street shops.  The level of customer service is phenomenal.  They have large roomy changing rooms, with a comfy sofa in the waiting area.  Once inside, you get your own personal shopper - a lady who will help decide what size you should be wearing, and who will then keep popping off to find bras or other items for you to try on. 

 

The most incredible thing of all is that they don't actually have to measure you!  As you walk in, they will look at your bosom, and say yes, you're a 34E, 38F or whatever!!  How do they know that just by looking?  It's almost magical.

 

Bravissimo currently has shops in Aberdeen, Brighton, Cambridge, Chester, Glasgow, Leeds, London (Covent Garden, Ealing, Oxford Circus), Manchester, Newcastle, Nottingham, Oxford and Solihull.  Please go and visit one.  Make a day of it.  It's an experience not to be missed and looking after yourself will improve your self esteem.  (Not to mention wearing fabby underwear that actually fits!)
