I'm sure this guide will help you choose the right style of bra for your needs. Wow! so many to choose. Don't worry, I will make it easy for you. No need to be confused or scared.

The first thing you MUST do is head on over to any one of my listings My eBay Store and check out the bra sizing chart. This is your first and most important step BEFORE you start looking to buy your first bra.

What is the correct style?

Small Bust - To make the most of a small bust, try a balconet style bra, with or without the padding. This can give you an enhanced neckline, excellent uplift, and a lovely, curvy shape. Half-cup bras also flatter a smaller bust; padding at the sides and under the bust give maximum lift. Try an add a cup style, these work well to make your bust appear a size larger.

Large Bust - It's best to get wider shoulder and back straps for firm support. Full cups contain the breast better and give a better appearance. Underwire bras provide better support under the bust, but quite honestly, I prefer wireless for a more comfortable feeling. After all, I'm wearing my bra for many, many hours. Smooth, plain bra styles, without too much lace help to make your bust appear smaller (if that's what you want, of course). Full coverage bras will provide much better support than the demi styles, if you have a large bustline. Support is very important for the full figure woman, and can help to prevent back aches as you get older. Believe, me, I know!

Here's a common list of styles you should become familiar with:

Balconet Bra - This is a very sexy style of bra, that will allow you to wear very los necklines, yet not expose your bra. It will give your breast a great lift, but won't enhance the cleavage as much as a push-up bra. It will lift your breast without squeezing them together. This style will provide 1/2 to 3/4 coverage of the breast, and the straps are set further apart then the full coverage style. If you are looking to show off your goods, and wear a low neckline line, then this style is for you. Wear it with pride. It's okay to flaunt it, but being that you are a young lady just starting out, choose with caution.

Demi Bra - A demi bra will only cover about 3/4 of your breast. This style is also great for low cut necklines, but is not going to give you the greatest of support. This style works best with smaller busted women, because it does not offer the support of a full coverage bra. The straps are much thinner, and this bra will expose the upper portion of your bust, when wearing low cut, or revealing necklines.

Full Coverage Bra - The name says it all. This bra offers a full cup, and totally covers your breast. It provides excellent coverage, as well as excellent support and all day comfort. The shoulder straps are usually lined up with the middle of the cup so your breast can be supported evenly. This also helps to keep the straps from falling off your shoulders. You won't need to adjust or reposition this bra throughout the day. Of course you want to first buy the correct size. If it is a brand name (well made) you should not have any problems.

Plunge Bra - The center of the plunge bra is cut very low, in a "V" type shape. The sides of the cup are cut at an angle. Most plunge bras are padded at the bottom of the cup. This is not to increase your size, but to push your bust up, and give you the maximum amount of cleavage possible. This is a very sexy style to wear with those plunging necklines, and to get the maximum amount of cleavage possible. The straps are set wide, and not the best for support, but the cleavage is amazing.

Push-Up Bra - This bra is designed to cover about 1/2 of the breast. The straps are further apart, and it is designed to give you maximum cleavage. Whether you are wearing a low neckline, or just feel the need to look sexy, this is the style for you. This style is designed to not only push the breast up, and give you that extra lift, but it will push them together as well, to give you the best cleavage possible. This is a very sexy style, for when you really feel like being sexy!
