How can I look thinner this holiday?
How can I look thinner and be comfortable this holiday?
Holiday fashions are fun. But even the most beautiful outfit can quickly lose its appeal if the wearer doesn’t don it over the right foundation. The most important component of good looks is to start with the proper foundation. A properly-fitted bra offers comfort, and will make you look thinner! The right bra will make clothes fit better and hang nicer on the body, and a properly-fitted bra will move the breast tissue from the back and underarm area and place it where it is supposed to be to support the breasts in their natural position and create a waistline. Your clothes will fit and look better and you’ll appear thinner and shapelier.
A quality orthopedic bra provides support from beneath the breast, rather than being supported by the shoulder straps. Providing adequate suspension eliminates pain in the back, shoulders, and diaphragm area. There is no pressure to flatten the breast tissue or restrict circulation, and the support is firm enough to eliminate almost all of the motion of the breast during walking and help make those holiday fashions really pop!
It’s imperative to be properly fitted, particularly for woman who wear prosthesis. It takes at least three measurements and sometimes five to six to ensure an accurate fit.
For women who were not born with perfect breasts or have one breast larger than the other, a partial breast form may be required. Numerous types of breast forms are available for women who have had a mastectomy, partial mastectomy or lumpectomy, or those who are undergoing breast reconstruction. Today there are some very comfortable forms. They’re wonderful, thinner and softer and have more of the rounded look.
Remember most insurance providers will pay a percentage of the cost for prosthesis or bras associated with breast health concerns. Some but not all will fill out the paperwork and file the insurance claims for their clients.
To help show off that shape you may want to consider an eye-catching jacket with plenty of “bling”. They’re absolutely magnificent, and can be worn with evening wear, blue jeans or to dress up professional attire. Sizes usually range from small to X-Large.
Sometimes women don’t spend the money on themselves to get what they really want - a comfortable foundation that will make them look and feel great. A wonderful solution would be a gift certificate to give that special woman a special gift she will really appreciate.
