What to wear with and how to choose?
When choosing cotton underwear, like any other, you need to pay attention to several points:
- The bra should be matched to the size, not squeeze the chest and not restrict movement. The chest should fit completely into the cup. If there is free space in the cup and the fabric does not fit tightly enough to the chest, then the fullness is not selected correctly.
- The straps should not cut into the skin; you must immediately adjust their length correctly.
A cotton bra is absolutely irreplaceable in the everyday life of a modern woman. It can be worn with almost any clothing: shirts, tunics, knitted dresses, T-shirts, turtlenecks, sweaters.
If the blouse or dress is translucent, you can also choose a cotton bra decorated with a lace insert, for example. For tight-fitting clothes, it is best to choose a seamless pattern with a smooth cup without decor.
