Posted by on January 30, 2012 at 9:46 am in Bra, Bras, Sports Bra, underwear


A lingerie company says it is very important for women for wear bras during exercise sessions or workout. Lingerie company Freya says that working out without wearing bras may lead to several health problems that may even become irreversible.

Officials from Freya said that if no proper bras are worn or no proper breast support is available, the women may face a lot of problems such as but not limited to poor posture, sagging and back pain. Some of these problems may even turn into long term and may become irreversible.

Freya then said that it is very important for women to wear sports bras especially during exercise so that total support is given to the female breasts. Wearing durable sports bras can also help minimize movement of the breasts and may also help them be in their best possible shapes.

According to many studies, a lot of women who fail to wear quality sports bras eventually complain of back pain and even chest pains. These women were then told to wear bras and other lingerie that can help keep their breasts in place. These women were also advised to wear good bras that can separate and support their breasts well.

Freya produces non compression sports bras. Freya also manufactures other sportswear such as racerback sports bras and underwired moulded sports bras. Freya offers a wide range of sports bras up to an H cup. The said company is also hailed for using quality fabric.

A man who was caught wearing only a bra as well as crotchless underwear was arrested in Oklahoma City last month.

Oklahoma City police operatives arrested last December 27, 2011 a man who was wearing only a bra and crotchless underwear. Forty eight year old Jeff Watson, who is suspected of exposing himself while wearing a bra and crotchless underwear, was arrested last month at the Modern Maternity store in Penn Square Mall.

A clerk at Modern Maternity told authorities that while Watson was browsing for clothes, he asked her for her phone number and to go out to lunch. The clerk refused to give her phone number. Then, the clerk said that the 48 year old Watson bought some items then took his purchases back to a dressing room then called her over to help him.

The clerk said when she went to the dressing room, Watson was wearing only a bra and electric blue crotchless panties. She said Watson kept asking her to look at him. She refused and told Watson to leave. Watson eventually left the store. However, after Watson left, the clerk called her district manager. The district manager, in turn, advised the clerk to call the police and file a report. Watson was arrested on a complaint of indecent exposure. No word if Watson will be able to get a refund on the bra and panties. There are also no updates as to the reason why Watson wore a bra and panties.

Saudi Women Enjoy The benefit of Lingerie Department

Development in the kingdom is coming gradually and not at all definite.

The women in Saudi Arabia succeeded in a small but hopeful victory this year. No, it’s not allowing them to drive, yes, that’s still prohibited. For the most part of the time they still can’t work, take a trip, or even open bank accounts lacking the approval of a male guardian. Except they have this, now: they are now able to purchase lingerie in stores from female sales assistants in place of the every so often leering men who used to work the counters. If this unassuming gesture of liberalisation is taking place, they may even obtain fitting rooms soon.

It does not thud much, except in the hostile procedure of modernisation in the tradition-bound kingdom, it’s a significant step for them.

Eman Nafjian, one of the new generation of Saudi women’s activists, states over coffee in Riyadh, the capital that this is the beginning of a real social change. It will allow more women to work in shopping malls. And that’s a step towards more opportunities for women’s employment in general.

She relays that it wasn’t easy to win the right to sell lingerie. The change has been debated since 2005 and was resisted by traditionalists who oppose women working outside the home. Even though, in this case, the prohibition forced women to bargain with men over bras and panties. The rule was changed only after women spent two years agitating through a Facebook campaign called ”Enough Embarrassment”, and only subsequent to the labour minister was emboldened to obtain and enforce a decree from King Abdullah.

Nafjian says that that’s a microcosm of how life is improving for women in Saudi Arabia. Its pretty slow, and not at all sure. But in Saudi terms, Abdullah is a moderniser, he has promoted education for women, including thousands of college scholarships in the US, and has even promised to begin putting women to his official advisory council, the Shura, by 2013. Each little step forward prompts furious resistance from traditionalists, including Islamic scholars who warn that change is irreligious and the conservative women who say they like the old ways better.

The Victoria and Albert Museum is currently hosting a new exhibition in its Fashion Galleries.  Running until May 2012, the exhibition is called: ‘Ball gowns: British Glamour Since 1950’.   The display features over 60 dresses all of which are created by British designers.  This new exhibition is a ‘must’ for all who are interested in how evening dresses have evolved, dating from the debutante balls of the 1950’s, state occasions and on to those impressive rBritish Glamour ed carpet events.

To visualise a typical debutante ball gown of the 1950’s there would have been an exuberant amount of trimming such as black cotton net encrusted with sequins.  Typically this style ball gown is strapless, a nude strapless bra would be recommended to wear. The underskirt was stiffened with three layers of stiff net, one layer of starched black muslin and a taffeta under slip and the top was shaped and padded.

The singer Beyonce wore a dress featured in the exhibition whilst on stage performing at Barack Obama’s inauguration ball in 2009.  Her dress is a beautiful satin creation.  Diana, the Princess of Wales looked poised and graceful when she wore one of the featured dresses.  Yet another dress was worn by the late Queen Mother.  The Queen’s dress designer in the 1950’s, Norman Hartnell, has some dresses displayed too.  An Atsuko Kudo creation (leading designer of Fetish clothing) has been photographed on the fashion model Georgia Frost, to advertise the event, along with dresses by Worth of London and Hardy Amies.

Dresses-Grecian Style

Media interest will always surround the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.  Sarah Burton, creative director of fashion brand Alexander McQueen, recently attained the honour of Designer of the Year by the style magazine Harper’s Bazaar, after the Duchess appeared top of the ‘Best Dressed’ list.  Media coverage of what the Duchess wears, even the tiniest snippet connected to her clothes, is news for us.

The Duchess of Cambridge recently attended a reception at St James’s Palace with the Duke in aid of the National Memorial Aboretum of which he is the patron.  At the event the Duchess wore a floor-length dress of pale silver, in a Grecian style.

The Duchess’s gown was drawn in at the waist and wrapped over one shoulder. A strapless bra is the perfect  option when wearing a one shoulder dress.  In essence, the Grecian style of dress displays the height and width of the lady but without revealing any further detail.

The Greek period is regarded as between 700-150 BC.  Dresses worn by Grecian women were full and fell in graceful folds.  They could be worn loosely draped, with or without a belt.  The overall effect was a resemblance to a well-proportioned Grecian statuesque column.  The body’s curves were modestly concealed by the expanse of material and rich folds.  When the Grecian lady moved, her every gesture and inclination was mirrored by the movement of the constantly changing folds in her dress.

A woman who has a 40HH bra size says that she is on the verge of suicide. Forty one year old Kerrie Jewell, who is battling to have a breast reduction on the NHS, says that her bra size has been more of a problem than an asset.

Jewell, who hails from Coulby Newham, near Middlesbrough, says she has been taunted and bullied for 25 years because of her large bust. Kerrie says that she has begged a lot of medical experts to conduct a breast reduction surgery on her. She says that since she was 16 years old, she has always wanted to undergo surgery that could reduce her bra size. She also says that she currently collects a disability benefit.

Because of her huge bra size, Jewell says that she suffers from crippling back, shoulder and leg pain and is plagued by sores and abscesses. She also has to pay £50 for specially-crafted bras in her cup size.

Jewell has reportedly been told to lose weight first before begin considered for the breast reduction surgery. She wants to be referred to a plastic surgeon, however. She says that she wants to be “like normal people.”

‘I’m still suffering with my back and shoulders and stooping. It affects my legs as well. I had to lose four stones and I’ve lost that easily. They keep telling me to lose more weight moving the goal posts further and further,” she says.

Plus Size Fashion not important – excuses presented by newspaper

This will certainly infuriate those who are avid supporters of plus size fashion. In the piece written in LA Times, a list of excuses why major fashion retailers and houses are not making clothes specifically for plus-sized women has been enumerated and it will definitely make sense for some but it does give a disappointing view as to how perception is a bit distorted for most.

One of the points stressed in the list is that a number of designers are still struggling in tweaking their designs as plus size women have different proportions and big bras. However, it could be because these designers are taught to design for thin women and they’d rather not care venture on learning to designer for larger ones. It’s also disturbing that it was pointed on the list that though seasoned fashion designers can teach the newbies on how to design plus size fashion dresses, they’d rather not because it requires larger mannequins and larger models.

Posted by on October 25, 2010 at 1:26 pm in Bra

“Desperate Housewives” star Teri Hatcher reveals that her bra size seemingly grows whenever she films sexy scenes for the hit television series. For the past few episodes, her role requires her to wear sexy lingerie.

The 45-year old actress said during her recent guesting at late night talk show “Jimmy Kimmel Live” that the wardrobe staff were surprised about the bigger bra size which forces them to look for another lingerie item.

Hatcher’s character Susan Mayer has been working as a sexy cleaner for an online site called Va-Va-Broom.com in a bid to earn extra money. She poses as a sexy housekeeper who seductively cleans apartments while she’s being watched by an online audience.

Despite her age, the actress still looked sexy in her lingerie and she doesn’t mind flaunting her body at this stage.
