10 Pretty, Summer-Perfect Bras

Brittney Stephens — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 13:08:11 PDT

When it comes to shopping for bras, we're from the school of thought that says, "If you've got it, flaunt it." One of our favorite Summer styles is a pretty, colorful bra worn under a loose, low-cut tank or slouchy dress. Though not the most appropriate office ensemble, it can be a fresh, sexy weekend or nighttime look. From dainty and delicate to bright and bold, we've rounded up 10 beautiful underthings that are way too pretty not to show off. Click through to see and shop each one.

Cake Lingerie Heats Things Up With Tech Advanced Maternity Bras

Rebecca M Gruber — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 04:45:52 PST

We all may not have Victoria's Secret model bodies before (or after) our babies, but pregnancy does give us some awesome lingerie model assets. A growing bustline is often the first one, but it deserves more than just a bump up in cup size.

Cake Lingerie is introducing MyBust Technology based on the premise that mamas wearing B-D cups need different support, but the same sexiness as those with E-G cup sizes. The Birthday Cake collection ($55 to $70), which includes the purple and black Turkish Delight and the violet silk Velvet Delight, are constructed in a plunge style for the smaller sizes and balcony style for larger ones to provide the proper shape and support women need. All cake bras feature drop-down panels for breastfeeding to use once lil ones arrive – though with the lingerie's Agent Provocateur-style, nursing may be the last thing from a mama's mind when she wears these sexy pieces.

Lula Lu makes it their mission to find pretty, perfect-fit bras for the small-busted among us, so that you don't have to. Forget hunting around stocked department store shelves or trolling online for a petite-fit coverage, we're talking AAA, AA, and A cup sizes. Lula Lu's entire site is devoted to the small-chested, and each piece is thoroughly tested for quality and fit, so you don't have to worry about that either.

Adriana Lima Debuts New Victoria's Secret Bombshell Bra on the Streets of NYC!

Melody Nazarian — Wed, 20 Oct 2010 12:30:05 PDT

What did New Yorkers have as a morning treat today? Adriana Lima . . . in her bra! The brand-new sparkly Victoria's Secret Bombshell fantasy bra, that is. The supermodel woke up bright and early, dressed up in an old Hollywood-inspired look, and showed off her goods in front of the SoHo store. A vintage car drove her around as she waved and blew kisses at passersby. Enter for more.

Wear an Emergency Bra For Your Next Disaster

TresSugar — Fri, 24 Sep 2010 11:00:55 PDT

Honestly, I'd ridicule this bra if it didn't have one (actually, two) giant cup-size merit: it doubles as a gas mask. Dr. Elena Bodar, who won an award for designing it last year, began her career studying the Chernobyl nuclear disaster and knows if masks were readily available it would have been less of a disaster. Now she's bringing her invention to the buying public for $29.95. The only problem I see? Unless you own all eBras, you'll have to decide which days you're most likely to face disaster. It's like wearing clean underwear in case you get hit by a car times 100.

Fashion Confusion! - Marlies Dekkers Cartland Bra

FabSugar — Sat, 18 Sep 2010 09:00:05 PDT

Every now and again, we bump into pieces that leave us dazed and confused. This Marlies Dekkers Cartland Bra ($175) is one of them. Here's how it's described: "Take layering to a whole new level with a strappy bra designed to be shown off just a bit." Why, oh why, would anyone want to wear, and show off, a bra that has way more straps than necessary? Two simple straps are just enough for me. Am I the only one scratching my head or are you confused, too?

Do You Wish You Had a Different Bra Size?

TresSugar — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 13:15:42 PDT

It's hard to guess the desired bra size du jour. Fewer women are getting boob jobs, but Christina Hendricks's ample assets grab headlines. Earlier this year, fashion spectators reassured bustier women that boobs are back, but then today's New York Times style section has a piece in defense of the A-cup. Which set of women is the underdog here, the flat or the filled out?

"It is commonly assumed that small-chested women feel that nature’s lottery has left them coming up short," the NYT piece argues. But lingerie shop owners report that in fact, less-endowed women don't want padded or push-up bras.

Each bust size has its perks. Larger breasts might give you plenty of cleavage-display options, while smaller ones give you the chance to go braless. Are you happy with what you have, or are you lusting over another size?
