Finding the Perfect Bra is Easier than You Think
When a September 2006 episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show held a "Bra Intervention," a surprising truth was revealed: 85 percent of women wear and buy the wrong bra size. Even Oprah counted herself among those with an out-of-whack bra size. Three years later, and the problem still exits. Thankfully, there's a one-stop place to look to finally find the solution to your undergarment headaches: the December release of Jene Luciani's The Bra Book: The Fashion Formula to Finding the Perfect Bra.
"There are many reasons we all care so much about bras. A good one makes us feel good inside and out. It supports us, even protects us, concealing our flaws and highlighting our strengths. The right one can make us feel confident and sexy - like a woman should!" says Jene Luciani.
The Bra Book is your guide to every question that surrounds bras - from finding the right fit to learning bra fashion, Luciani creates a fun and informative read that is an essential for all women.
In the pages of The Bra Book, you'll find:
* The "herstory" of the bra, from the design of the corset to the invention of the first eco-friendly bra.
* The science behind the bra and why each part of it is essential to breast health and comfort.
* The truth behind the myths and answers to questions like "can your bra cause cancer?"
* Detailed step-by-step instructions on how to calculate the right bra size (and why most women are actually a "larger" cup size than they think).
* How to tell if you are wearing the wrong bra and how to find the right one.
* The bra wardrobe basics, with the seven bras that should be in every woman's closet.
* Breast health advice and bra shopping tips, from puberty to menopause.
* Care instructions to make your bras last longer!
Filled with useful diagrams and pictures, the easy-to-navigate and beautifully laid-out chapters offer bountiful amounts of bra facts and fallacies, expert advice and shopping tips, witty quotes from real men and women, and a tear-out guide to take the confusion out of (and put the enjoyment back into!) bra shopping .
In chapters such as "The Herstory of Bras," "Breast RX" and "Mountains vs. Molehills," Luciani's warm, supportive style helps women realize that finding the bra of your dreams is possible. Sharing her personal story with breast, bra and body image struggles, Luciani's honesty and intimacy with her readers is a breath of fresh air that is encouraging to all women.
The Bra Book even contains a chapter devoted to men, providing helpful advice and tips to finding the perfect lingerie for your special someone.
"Just like your best girlfriend or your mom, this book will, I hope, be a comforting voice on your journey to feeling confident in your skin and your bra. The only emotion your bra should evoke is happiness - and after The Bra Book, it will be" says Jene Luciani.
The Bra Book is the go-to-guide women everywhere have been waiting for.
