your hidden super power!

Feeling and looking your best starts with the very first item you put on in the morning – your underwear. 

My top tip no matter what your body shape is to invest in a professional bra fit. It is vital whether big or small, that your bust has the right support. I see so many women that with the right support, can lift and separate their bust to create more proportional definition between the bust and the waist, revealing that killer waistline. 

Where can I go to have a bra fit? 

I would always recommend one of the higher end retailers like Rigby & Peller. They will give you lots of advice not only on overall size of your bra, but strap length and ideal fabric too. 

Once you reclaim that area of the body, every item of clothing you put on will look incredible. Apple body shapes can turn to hourglass, in the blink of an eye. 

“But what body shape am I” I hear you ask?

Here’s a quick way to work it out. Stand in front of the mirror in your underwear and image you are drawing around your silhouette.

Are you in proportion with a small bust/hip with a gently defined waist? 

You’re Slender or Athletic.

Are you slightly out of proportion with a smaller bust/waist & wider bottom half?

Then you’re a Pear. 

Are you more top heavy, with a much smaller bottom half, usually taking a size smaller in clothes on your bottom half? 

You’re a Strawberry

Do you have a curvy bust, curvy hips and a small often high waist? 

You’re Hourglass

Do you have a full bust a curvier tummy with little to no defined waistline?

You are an Apple.

It sounds a bit cliched but it’s true, every body shape is beautiful. It’s about embracing what you have and showcasing it in the best possible way. Work with your body shape, not against it and your confidence will shine through – show off your best bits. 

Which underwear should you invest in to create a clean silhouette?

Here’s some hints & tips for each body shape:

Slender or athletic – You may want to create some fullness to your shape by investing in some lightly padded bras.

Pear shapes – Create balance against a curvier hip by investing in a slightly padded bra to enhance your shape with fullness and femininity.

Hourglass – Lift & separate the bust to define your gorgeous waist. You may also want to look at underwear that shapes & smooths the silhouette.

Apple – Lift & separate the bust to create a more nipped in waistline. You may want to smooth & shape your silhouette by investing in some higher waisted briefs.

Strawberry – A professional bra fit is key, the right level of support can transform the way you look & feel in your clothes.
