Lingerie Lexicons Babydoll -
A short gown that fits around the bust, flares toward hemline. What's Ahead Spring 2006 will see underwear coming out from under to be a major fashion statement. The bustier will be fancier with hand-embroidery or colorful blocks of bright pastels.

Buying the Right Bra Size It is estimated that 70% of women are wearing the wrong bra size. This can lead to serious damage such as pains in the neck and back and bad posture just because they are not getting the right support from their bra. Nine out of ten women say the pain goes away as soon as they have been fitted properly. When buying a bra, follow these simple guidelines: Find one of your old, comfortable bras and put it on. Measure your rib cage along the band of the bra. If the number is 33 or less, add 5 inches to that number and that is your bra size. If the number is over 33 inches add 3 inches to get your bra size. Round odd numbers up to even. Measure the bust by measuring around the shoulder blades, under the arms and around the fullest part of the breast. This will be your cup measurement. Subtract the first number (bra size) from the last number (cup size). Use the chart below to determine what size bra you should be wearing. For example if your bra size was 36 and your cup measurement was 38 (remember, we rounded up to next even number), the difference is 2" so you would wear a 36B. Use this chart: AA = 1/2" | BRA FITTING TIPS Try these tips to for a perfect, comfortable bra fit:
