Texture can help make a dress or fabric go from drab to fab. Adding texture can come in the form of adding or subtracting color or creating visual depth, like an artist coating a blank canvas with paint. When adding texture to fabric, remember that moderation is key -- too much body or depth can make a dress look tacky.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/outsize-undies/ Wed, 29 Feb 2012 18:17:08 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/outsize-undies/
In 2009, the average-size woman in the United States was a size 14 with a 36DD bust, which is certainly larger than a Victoria’s Secret model, notes a "Los Angeles Times" article.. Finding pretty underwear for even these average size women can be challenging enough, but it's even trickier for women who are larger than average. They need to find comfortable underwear that supports their bodies but doesn’t pinch or create lines under clothing. The underwear also needs to be something that doesn't resemble a parachute harness.

All is not lost for larger ladies. Underwear experts say there are plenty of options for women who are more curvy than straight.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/top-five-bras-girl-should-own/ Fri, 10 Feb 2012 13:47:55 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/top-five-bras-girl-should-own/
Ladies, take a look in your closet. You probably have the perfect winter coat, the perfect little black dress, the perfect jeans and the perfect killer pair of heels. But do you have the perfect bras to make your wardrobe really sizzle? If you do, way to go. But if you don’t, it’s time to get to work.

“Having a bra wardrobe is perhaps one of the most important things a woman can do for herself,” noted Linda Hallman, owner of Ontario, Canada-based Vicanie’s, a bra fitting specialty store. “A proper bra can have the appearance of a 10-pound weight loss and, most importantly, provides the added confidence that we look our best in our clothes.”

However, if bras have you baffled and you're overwhelmed by the choices, don’t stress. There are five bra styles that every lovely woman should own.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/bras-apple-figure/ Mon, 06 Feb 2012 09:04:06 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/bras-apple-figure/
OK, there are so many different terms to describe the shape of your figure; but once you understand your body and the rules for dressing it, it’ll be much easier to find suitable clothes. If you’re rocking a curvy apple figure, you store weight around your middle. Gals with apple figures often have larger breasts so your shopping goal should be to find a bra that's super-supportive. Keep a few key pointers in mind before you buy a brand new bra so it isn't a task to dread.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/add-corset-dress/ Sat, 04 Feb 2012 14:44:08 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/add-corset-dress/ http://www.typef.com/article/correct-bra-apple-shape/ Tue, 31 Jan 2012 10:24:15 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/correct-bra-apple-shape/
When it comes to buying bras, it’s important to choose a design that is right for you and your figure, rather than just blindly buying what looks eye-catching in the store. Sure, you can still work pretty pieces, but remember to consider your build and shape when you drop your hard-earned cash on some lush new lingerie. Gals with apple body shapes tend to have broad shoulders and larger breasts. Be bra savvy and pick the right style for your body to look and feel fabulous!]]> http://www.typef.com/article/different-unusual-bikinis/ Fri, 27 Jan 2012 07:45:04 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/different-unusual-bikinis/

Your padded bra gives you lift, shape and creates the illusion of a fuller bust, so it’s only right you take good care of her. Sure, we’ve all been guilty of tossing our bras aside only to untangle them from a mass of other clothing, but if you want yours to last, and do its job properly, you’ll need to do better than that. Wash, store and care for your push up bra in the right way if you really want to get the most out of it.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/bikinis-pale-skin/ Sun, 22 Jan 2012 13:36:13 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/bikinis-pale-skin/
Steering clear of sunburn isn't your only dilemma when you hit the beach. Gals with fair skin easily look pasty in really dark or bright colors, which is especially noticeable in bikinis because they show so much skin. You can wear any style that works for your body type, as long as you choose a color and pattern that looks good with your skin tone.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/string-bra/ Mon, 16 Jan 2012 20:00:56 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/string-bra/
Ladies, finding the perfect bra is like searching for a needle in a haystack. Even trying to snag a simple style -- such as a great string bra -- can leave you feeling despondent. Garnering suggestions from friends and reading online reviews are great starting points, but finding the best string bra is more about finding the best string bra for you. This means not only knowing your size, but being honest about which clothes look best with this style, and whether this style is right for your body type.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/shirts-lace-up-like-corsets/ Wed, 11 Jan 2012 23:28:57 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/shirts-lace-up-like-corsets/
A corset is a simple yet elegant garment that wraps around the bodice, attaching with hooks or lace. The middle of the front section comes down in a V-shape, with the sides sitting higher. Corsets can also have loads of style. Fancy corsets usually feature lace-up fronts and sometimes lace-up backs, with decorative ribbons, frills, lace or feathers.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/keep-jean-waistband-rolling-down/ Tue, 10 Jan 2012 15:41:59 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/keep-jean-waistband-rolling-down/
No matter what size you are, no one wants to be the one to display the dreaded "muffin top" atop their jeans. Whether you have a little extra in the middle, you have a short waist, or you have any other body type, it can be really annoying to constantly have to adjust your jeans when they're constantly rolling down. While nothing can take the place of having just the right fit for your jeans before you leave the store, you do have some options for keeping your jeans up where they should be.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/getting-tape-pushed-back-hairline/ Tue, 10 Jan 2012 06:25:08 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/getting-tape-pushed-back-hairline/ http://www.typef.com/article/shoe-adapter/ Fri, 06 Jan 2012 20:51:13 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/shoe-adapter/
If you work out, you know how convenient it is to have your tunes along to motivate you. What's even more convenient is being able to track your results, like the time you've been exercising, the distance you've traveled and how many calories you've burned. The Nike+ shoe with the iPod Sensor package allows you to easily do this, but you can get the same results with a shoe adapter.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/tips-wearing-open-toe-shoes/ Thu, 05 Jan 2012 21:36:15 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/tips-wearing-open-toe-shoes/
Summer, winter, spring or fall, open-toed shoes are in style all season long. You no longer have to worry about shelving these shoes when the temperature drops. But just because you can rock this style from January to December doesn’t mean it’s everyday footwear. Follow these fashion tips to best show off a little toe.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/can-large-busted-girl-wear-corset-dress/ Thu, 05 Jan 2012 19:31:14 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/can-large-busted-girl-wear-corset-dress/
Corset dresses may bring to mind a fashion era of long ago, but you don’t need a magical time machine to enjoy this staple of the fashion world. Corsets pull the body in, smoothing lumps and bumps and creating a super sexy hourglass figure on thin and ample women alike. Large-busted women can rock a corset dress as well as anyone, and look both sensual and sophisticated at the same time.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/night-bra/ Thu, 05 Jan 2012 08:26:16 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/night-bra/
After being pinched and squished into your brassiere all day, you may have the urge to come home and instantly rip the thing off your body, letting your ladies hang free. But there may be some benefits to keeping an over-the-shoulder-boulder-holder in place, even while you're sleeping. It may sound wacky, but lingerie companies make night bras designed to be worn while you're catching some Zs. The effectiveness of wearing a nighttime bra hasn't been scientifically proven, but some women certainly swear by their anti-gravity effects.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/caring-crocheted-bikini/ Wed, 04 Jan 2012 21:05:15 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/caring-crocheted-bikini/ http://www.typef.com/article/properly-use-push-up-bra/ Wed, 04 Jan 2012 13:53:15 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/properly-use-push-up-bra/
When you want to give your girls some va-va-voom, a push-up bra works wonders. Push-up bras are designed to give a boost to your assets and make them look more plentiful. While anyone can wear this type of bra and benefit, it particularly helps women with small to medium-size chests. If you need it, push-up bras come with extra padding that you can remove at will.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/fit-tube-top-tightly/ Tue, 03 Jan 2012 23:20:16 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/fit-tube-top-tightly/
Tube tops seem so simple, right? They're just a band of stretchy fabric that wraps snugly around your torso. Wear a tube top the wrong way, though, and you've committed a major fashion faux pas. A tube top puts everything on display -- do that wrong, and you'll look tacky. But if you know how to wear a tube top tightly, and look chic at the same time, you'll look ultra sexy.]]> http://www.typef.com/video/wear-bra-low-cut-dress/ Mon, 20 Jun 2011 14:58:00 -0700 http://www.typef.com/video/wear-bra-low-cut-dress/
