A little bit about our new Tatiana line of fine undergarments...
   
We have decided to partner up with Tatiana Intimates because their bras and bodyshapers are more comfortable than any other brand we've found, fits better and lasts longer than others. We think you will be very pleasantly surprised when you receive your Tatiana Intimates that you will come back over and over to add more to your collection.
  
Our new line of Tatiana fine lingerie and undergarments offer several high-quality points that are unique to the line and found in no other brand and these points are the reasons why we have decided to proudly offer the Tatiana line at Kathy's Treasures Curvy Corner.

Euro Lite System: Tatianas' trademark "Euro Lite Support System" for underwire bras was developed By Tatiana which gives their bras a clear advantage in comfort and fit. The Euro Lite System gives desired support that has been streamlined to give just the right amount of flexibility with a wire that is lighter and slightly thinner.

To ensure superiority of the Tatiana Euro Lite System, one more step was taken.. the advantage of a fully nylonized wire. This is very unique to Tatiana bras. Other wires are bare or partially nylonized which leads to corrosion and staining of the fabric. Tatianas fully nylonized wire deliver much more comfort and washability to your bra. And, We Agree!

Color Matched Metal Sliders:  Many of the sliders and fasteners on Tatiana bras and corsets are metal, not plastic so they will hold up better in the wash. They are also color matched to the fabric! We Love This Feature!

Double Bartacks: - Tired of having your underwire pop out? Tatiana bras are made with double bartacks which prevents this from happening. Ahh, This is a Very Nice Touch!

European Sewing, Components And Fabrication: All of the seamstresses at Tatiana have completed a two-year seamstress course...An advantage you will not find anywhere else which makes a noticable difference in the final product. Tatianas timeless history is such that Tatianas seamstresses take great pride in their work and have been for thousands of years. In Short, Tatiana
Intimates are built around this pride of workmanship and it shows in superior washability, support and comfort.

Color Match Between Fabrics: Attention to detail is what makes Tatianas bras look so rich. You can see this in the color match between different types of fabrics in your bra. Very Unique and We Appreciate This Feature!

Perfect Fit Checklist

Let's face it, do we really know what a good fitting bra looks like? What are the signs that a bra is the wrong size? Let us help.... Here is a checklist of what to look for:

Smooth Fitting Cups: If you don't fill out the cups, you need a smaller size. If you are "overflowing" in the cups, try a larger cup size or a style with a fuller cup design. The edges of the cups should also lie flat against your breast. If there is a gap (especially with padded bras) you should go down a cup size.

Center Panel Lays Flat Against Your Breast Bone: If it does not, this could be a sign that your cup size is too small or the panel is not large enough to accommodate the separation between your breasts.

The bottom of the bra in the front and back is parallel to the floor or slightly lower in the back: The lower edge of the band should anchor below the shoulder blades. The lower the back fits, the better the support.

A finger can be run under the front band: Your bra should be snug, but not too tight. If it's tight, you need a larger band size or a looser hook placement.

A Few Helpful Tips on Correct Bra Size and Fitting:

Symptom: Bra cups pucker

Problem: Your cup size is too large

Solution: Tighten your bra straps or go down one cup size.
***********************************************************************

Symptom: Breasts are "bulging" out over the top of the bra.

Problem: Cup size is either too small or cut too low for the size of your breasts.

Solution: Try going up a cup size or choose a bra style which has more fabric in the cup.
***********************************************************************

Symptom: One cup fits fine but the other cup puckers.

Problem: One breast is larger than the other (very common)

Solution: Almost all women have one breast larger than the other. Sometimes the difference is noticeable, most often it's not. If your difference is significant, you have several choices. You can purchase a bra with stretch fabric in the cup. The size difference will then not be noticeable. You can also try a bra with fiberfill or light padding which will hide the size difference. Also, try adjusting the straps so that the larger breast cup is looser than the smaller breast cup. You can also purchase a padded bra with removable "cookies" and take the cookie out of the side with the larger breast.
**********************************************************************

Symptom: Center bra panel does not rest on breastbone.

Problem: This cup size is too small for you.

Solution: Re-arrange your breasts in the cup and see if the fit changes. If this doesn't solve the problem, try a bra in the next larger cup size.
***********************************************************************

Symptom: Center bra panel has a gap.

Problem: This particular style of bra does not work with your figure.

Solution: Try a different style bra or have the bra altered.
************************************************************************

Symptom: Bra rides up in back.

Problem: Your band size is too large.

Solution: Try hooking your bra on a tighter setting and loosening the straps. If this doesn't work, your band size is too big and you need to buy a smaller band size.
***********************************************************************

Symptom: Your bra is uncomfortable; cutting and pinching when you move.

Problem: Your bra is hooked too tightly, your band size is too small, or the sides of your bra are too narrow for your figure.

Solution: Try hooking your bra on a looser setting or adding a back extender accessory. It may also be that the bra style is inappropriate for your figure. Consider a style with wider sides and a three-hook closure in back.
***********************************************************************

Symptom: Straps keep falling off shoulders.

Problem: If tightening the strap is not working, the problem could be that your cup size is too big. You're not filling out the top of your cup and this is causing your straps to slide down your shoulders. The bra style could also be the problem. Wide-set straps are very popular. However, if you have small or sloping shoulders, this style is not for you.

Solution: Try a bra with a smaller cup size or a different style bra. Racer-back bras are a great solution for falling straps. There are also accessories that help to keep your straps in place.
***********************************************************************
 
Symptom: Underwire is uncomfortable and poking.

Problem: Either the cup size is too small, placing the underwire right on the tender breast tissue or the style of the bra is not providing a wide enough cups to support or the design of the bra is placing the cups too close together.

Solution: Try going up a cup size and see if the underwire fits more comfortably... Or try a different style bra with fuller cups and/or a larger center panel in front. A large-breasted woman can still experience poking on the sides, even in a bra that is the correct size.
