Don't make a boob when it comes to bra sizes

IT doesn’t matter what your chest size is, everyone can make a boob of themselves when it comes to fashion. If you’re on the smaller side then you have to grapple with chicken fillets, booster bras and ignorant comments, while larger girls have the eternal problem of trying to find a supportive bra that doesn’t look matronly.

It can take a lot of time and hard work looking great and don't you just hate it when small things ruin the look? It could be as simple as a bra strap that keeps slipping off your shoulder or that your bust doesn’t provide quite enough cleavage to fill your top or maybe your nipples decide to make an appearance at just the wrong moment.

What is a woman to do? First of all, don't panic. Lingerie and fittings advice website BreastTalk.co.uk has come up with a range of summer fashion solutions to make life so much easier when getting ready for a big night out. To help you look great all summer long they have solved four classic boob-related problems.

Peep show

It’s the middle of summer and you’re at a BBQ wearing a pretty summer top with no bra. Someone introduces you to the vicar, and at just that moment a cool breeze blows across your top and your nipples poke out for all to see, including the vicar. Solution: Silicone Nipple Covers are ideal for hiding any poke-through and saving embarrassment. They are made from super soft flesh coloured silicone and can be used again and again. They can be worn with or without bras and also on the beach under swimwear.

Carol Tromans, owner of BreastTalk.co.uk, says: “Our nipple covers are one of our bestsellers and we've had ladies buy them for weddings, nights out or to use at work. We've sold a lot to nurses as they've told us they're uniforms are a little thin and sometimes a couple of unwanted bumps can appear”.

Small cleavage: You’ve just bought a figure hugging, low cut top. It looked great in the store but when you try it on your cleavage doesn't quite burst out the top. Solution: Silicone Bra Inserts can give you up to a whole cup of extra bust. “These work a treat, just slot them into the bottom or side of your bra and you go up a cup size and create a cleavage to die for. They look natural, don't move around and after a while you have no idea you're wearing them,” says Tromans.

Loose bra straps: You’re at a wedding reception wearing your new summer dress but your bra straps keep falling off your shoulder. On, off, on, off, it’s like a broken record and rapidly getting on your nerves. Solution: Silicone Bra Strap Holders will hold your straps in place and even stop them digging in. “They feel really soft and will hold your straps in place all day/night long. If you want a more permanent solution, sew Strap Trap into the shoulders of your clothes and the straps will just slot in and stay in place,” says Tromans.

Droopy boobs: It’s really hot and you want to go braless but gravity is starting to take effect and things tend to droop and wobble around a bit. Solution:

Liftits Breast Lifters will give you some extra lift and help make your boobs look instantly perky. “We've tested Liftits on girls up to D cup and they work brilliantly, it is our most popular product and will help defy droop and give you instant lift,” she says.

Now there is no excuse for bursting out of our shirts, pancake chests or droopy boobs, as we can all look our best throughout the summer months, whatever our size.
