Reader Request: Bras for Bombshells Part I


When I was visiting my lovely friend Amie this summer, our conversation naturally fell to bras. Which brand do you wear? Comfy? Pricey? Does it lift? Whether you’re an A or a DD all fabulous girls have some kind of bra battle every summer as the clothes get smaller and bosoms must be bolstered, enhanced or simply just covered up! This is the first post in a series of bras for the bombshells (that’s you ladies!)

My best bra advance for Amie? The filets! Filets are actually a self-adhesive silicone bra which can be snapped together in the middle to form more or less cleavage. They miraculously lift, separate and just generally improve the look of your chest. They also have absolutely no straps! The filets are recommended for women with sizes A-C. Now if you’re a little more voluptuous D+ you can still wear the filets, but I recommend wearing a bra in addition to prevent sagging. That may seem over the top, but once you have the bra on, you can hardly tell it’s there. It also is a fool-proof way to avoid a nip-slip in a low cut top or dress.

Vicky’s sells an adhesive bra, which is a little on the more expensive side, but you can find filets in almost any lingerie shop or major department store.

Invisible Shaping Bra, Victoria’s Secret $68

P.s. The filets are also way cheaper than a boob job, I say yes to that!!
