The Proper Foundation Is Essential To Finding The Perfect Plus Size Business Suit
It's been reported that 68% of American women wear a size 12 or larger- but you'd never know it by walking into any fashionable department store.
When you walk into any major department store, you'll find that most of the business suits displayed for sale are size 10 and below. Success isn't defined by your body size and many successful career women wear a size 12 or larger. Here are tips on how to add a plus size business suit that projects a powerful professional image to your wardrobe.
Fit is essential when searching for a plus size business suit that projects an image of power and prestige. Many full figured women overlook the importance of foundation garments in their quest to project a professional image.
Finding plus size foundation garments can be a chore in the mall, where every store seems to be competing for the time, attention and money of the pre-pubescent waifs whose consuming passion is the pursuit of bulimia, anorexia and myspace popularity. However, it's worth the effort to find a lingerie specialist who will help you find a bra that fits properly is well worth the effort.
Visit the major department stores and ask to be measured to find your correct bra size. Don't be surprised if the size bra the specialist determines is dramatically different from the size you've been buying.
Once you've got the right bra size, stock up on the style that provides the best support for your "girls".
Once you've got your stock of great bras, then it's time to find the other foundation garments you'll need to begin your quest for the perfect power plus size business suit. Your mother called them girdles but today we call them 'body shapers' and they're a full figured woman's best friend. Remember, the purpose of the body shaper is to provide support- it's not to mold your body into a brand new and strange shape.
Once you've got the proper foundation garments, take them home and try them on. You'll want to be WEARING these foundation garments as you begin your quest for the perfect plus size business suit.
While the size 3 may be able to get away without wearing the proper foundation garments, full figured women almost always need the extra support the right bra and body shaper can provide. The right foundation garments can take a plus size business suit from dumpy to dynamic!
