Fourth Recipient Patricia Dillon Oprah Winfrey recently dedicated one of her shows to bras and how important it was to wear the right size. She said that by wearing the right bra size and right style of clothing for our body shape, we would soon see a younger and slimmer us. Listen to Oprah ­ she is right. Not only did she boast about the difference of good quality bras compared to some retail brands, she revealed that women will spend countless amounts of dollars on designer clothing, yet refuse to take the same amount of care with their undergarments. Why do many women still choose to buy less quality, ill-fitting bras, when it should be the most important purchase? Just by wearing a proper fitting bra, the transformation to look better begins immediately. The makeover must begin underneath your clothes and when statistics say that 85 per cent of women aren't wearing the right sized bra, that percentage of women could easily be you. A well-fitted bra could make a woman look up to 20 pounds lighter! For fuller breasted women who want to minimize their size, yet still have support, the raved about La Mysterie T-shirt bra is the way to go. Even Oprah loves this bra! Goodnight Goodmorning in Bronte has it in stock. For smaller breasted women the T-shirt bras by Chantelle, Lejaby, Triumph, Passionata or Princess Tam-Tam will definitely flatter.
