If you are a woman who falls on the shorter end of the height spectrum, you should choose the items you wear under your clothing very carefully. The right lingerie will enhance your figure by making your clothing fit better. A proper fit for your body type also has the added bonus of making you look taller and thinner.
Pay special attention to finding the right bra. Bras pose a special round of fashion hazards for the shorter woman. If you chose one with lots of lift you can wind up with breasts that fall a short distance from your chin. If you chose one that doesn¡¯t offer enough support your breasts may appear to merge with your waist.
A smaller woman should aim for a happy medium that emphasizes proportion. If you have a larger bust you should seek to minimize it so you don¡¯t look top heavy. If you have a smaller bust you may wish to buy a padded bra so as to round out your figure. If you have an average bust consider yourself lucky and look for bras that don¡¯t have padding or reducers.
If you have a larger bust there are several ways you can make yourself look less endowed. First of all avoid padded bras. You don't need the extra enhancement. You should also avoid sports bras because they will not give you enough support and your breasts will sag. Another technique to keep your figure from appearing out of proportion is a bra that contains a high proportion of nylon and spandex. You can find these in all different styles and colors. The only disadvantage is cost. Bras specifically designed to reduce your bust size are often at least double the cost of a regular bra. But if you¡¯re a smaller woman who¡¯s really top heavy, such as someone with a D cup size or larger, you should definitely investigate this option. It¡¯s cheaper than breast reduction surgery.
If you have much smaller than average breasts like an A cup or small B cup consider buying a bra designed to make your bust appear a little larger. There are a variety of products on the market designed to do precisely this. A little discrete padding can round out your figure and draw attention away from your height. Unlike bras that minimize, bras with padding tend to be less expensive. You can also generally find them in a wider range of fabric and materials.
Another thing you should consider if you are smaller than average woman is the use of bra straps. Make a careful examination in the mirror once you¡¯ve put on a top over your bra. While it¡¯s especially important for the shorter woman to make sure her bust doesn¡¯t overwhelm her midsection, you also don¡¯t want your bra to be too high up. In addition to the question of proportion and placement you should also consider color. If you¡¯re wearing anything even slightly see-through you want to match the color of your bra to the color of your top. You should do this because a jarring color contrast will stand out more on a smaller woman. Push-up bras are also a poor choice. Most push-up bras are not designed to meet the needs of shorter than average women. They tend to push up the bustline too far, an effect that looks very awkward on women with less torso space.
If you chose a bra carefully you¡¯ll not only have a garment that will support your bust but one that will enhance your entire body.
