How To Walk In High Heels: The Girl's Guide To Everything by Camilla Morton Read Free Book Online

go to a professional, such as Rigby and Peller, and get it done for you.
    A lot of women are wearing incorrect bra sizes, which makes the whole purchasing process expensive and pointless.
    The under-bust measurement is represented by the number sequence: size 10/32, 12/34, 14/36. The bust/cup size is represented by the letter, A, B, C, D. The higher the letter the bigger the bust.
    If you are tiny around the back, but have a well-endowed bust you could be a 32D. Similarly if a woman is largish around the back, and is fairly flat-chested she could be a 36A. The balconette style (low cut and straight across the bust) looks great on most busts, except the floppy DDs and Es. The soft cup bra (no under-wire) looks great on all small perky sizes.
    To calculate your correct size, wrap a soft tape measure around your ribcage, just below the bust line. Add five inches to this to calculate your band size. Next measure around the fullest part of the bust, this will tell you what cup size you need. Each inch difference between this and your band-size is equal to one-cup size. Less than 1 inch is an AA cup; 1 inch: A cup; 2 inches: B cup; 3 inches: C cup, and so on.
    A well-endowed bust is best bolstered in an under-wired bra with triangle cut and full coverage. Large-busted women need to choose styles with thick elastic straps otherwise they will get a lot of pain in their shoulders.
    To pad or not to pad? Most busts look good in a well-shaped padded bra. It provides good support, refines the shape and boosts the bosoms. Though a heavily padded bra is full of false promises.
    The best way to tell when a bra is going to be supportive, and fit properly, is to check if the middle of the under-wire sits against the body, and does not stick out. Check it’s moulded to your shape. Once the hook and eye is done up, bend over and wiggle your bosoms into the cups. Adjust the wire to get it just right under the bust, then stand up et voilà!
    Check the wiring when you buy a bra, as the more wiring the worse the fit can become. Ensure that the wire is not too tight in the wire casing, otherwise it’s liable to break through and poke you.
    Finally, before you make your purchase look at the straps and ask yourself whether you would like them showing through garments?
    Silk lingerie should be hand washed in cold water. Gentle machine wash is fine for synthetic, nylon, tulles and cotton.

How to enhance your finer assets
    by Kylie Minogue, singer and William Baker, stylist
    William: Forget g-strings, cheese graters – the big knicker is back! The bigger the better: think of what you wore to school, there’s nothing sexier. I also love that image of Jackie Collins in Stud. Celebrate your curves; you might not fancy copying Marilyn Monroe, who wore stuffed pointed bras a couple of sizes too big, but you should not flatten or ignore them, work with what you were given – enhance and have lingerie as a daily luxury.

    Kylie: A fuller shaped knicker can definitely be sexy. I think girls are discovering the allure and enticement of being less overt. With this in mind, Love Kylie created boudoir, boy pants and seventies-inspired hipster briefs to fit the bill. Many include our signature ruched seam on the derrière, which is very shape enhancing. There are many lingerie lines on the market now, but when William and I started Love Kylie there was no one brand that offered all the diversity I wanted, so we thought, let’s do it. I wanted to create a fashion-inspired label that fulfilled my criteria: comfort and sex appeal and that little something extra for every day. I hope it offers exactly what you want: it enhances what you’ve got, is an affordable luxury and is a combination of naughtiness, cuteness and quality.

    William: Despite what the style magazines say I don’t think bras and knickers have to match – it might look like you are trying too hard, but if you’re going for an out and out seduction a set is a good bet. Lingerie is a very
