What Women Need in a Bra …

+Fashion Tips 21 July 2009 | View Comments

Most of us who wear bras know that there is almost no such thing as the perfect bra. This has inspired this particular wish list
For instance – don’t you wish that they would make a bra that is reversible. This way you could have two bras in one. A good color combination would be black and white for instance.
Another wish is that they would make a bra for plus sized girls that is more like a strapless bandeau. It is very difficult to find these bandeaus once you are over a 34 C but as global warming continues they are becoming more essential for keeping cool in the summer. The ideal bandeau would be made of a light nylon or airy fabric that stretches and that could fit easily over even the largest of breasts. It would also be nice if these bras came in different colors.
Yet another wish is that more bras were made with closings in the front. The front closing bra is just simply easier to take off and put on again (like a jacket) The current common model which features hooks and eyes has to be scooted over your head, done up and then twisted around your body to fit correctly. This type of bra is harad on people who have arthritis or problems with their flexibility.
Speaking of hooks and eyes they are quite hard on the elderly who can’t see them and who often have arthritic conditions that prevent them from doing up and undoing the hooks and eyes easily. It would be a great idea for a company to invent a brassiere specifically for the globe’s aging population of women.
It is also time that some enterprising and creative designer revamped the boring look of the fitness bra. They seem to come in very boring colors and have very non-sexy design. Is there any reason why a functional bra can’t be designed that also makes you sexy?
It would also be something if they could make a “fitness” bra that did things like measure your heart rate, temperature and other factors while you were exercising. However I am sure this futuristic item of clothing is already on the drawing board of some innovative designer.
Finally, given that so many women are at least a C cup in North America isn’t it time that more than just a handful of clothing companies started making clothing that had the bra built into it. This would not only be more comfortable for many individuals but it would also prevent such conditions as eczema and heat rash from having to wear too many clothes in the summer. Built in bra shelves also have the effect of giving clothing a sleeker and slimmer look so it is surprising that more designers have not done this on a regular basis for the mass markets. Perhaps it is because if this idea caught on there would be no bra industry left as it would not be necessary to wear one any more if bras were built into women’s clothing.
