The best boob traps
Randy Bowman, Gleaner Writer

Cut the 'brama', Saturday Life knows it's a challenge to find that perfect undergarment that will have you saying bravo! Though an important element in a woman's boudoir, just a handful of women are up on the latest trends. So we went shopping and hooked you up!

DEMI

And as we all know Emporio Armani is all about elegance. This line slipped out the lightweight, intricately designed lace, Gardenia. Made with femininity and everyday comfort in mind, this pretty, unlined bralette is nothing but ultra-sheer. Stretch lace features floral embroidery on a plunging front centre.

Also available at www.barenecessities.com, it is priced at US$45.

HOLLY PLUNGE

World-renowned lingerie store Frederick's of Hollywood has recently launched the Hollywood Reversible Plunge Bra. As its website explained, this is one bra with two sexy looks.

This deep plunge bra may feel barely-there because of its luxuriously supple microfibre fabric, but it offers maximum support and versatility with two sides to choose. Innovative soft-wire shaping provides beautiful cleavage without padding. Deep plunge front for a sexy silhouette. Hidden elastic wings for smooth, flat fit. Swan hook adjustable closure. Colours that reverse to solids have two sets of straps to match both sides of the bra.

This is too good to be true, and they only cost US$24.50-US$30 with the purchase of two or more - a deal we could all use around here given the economic pressure we're under.

VICKY'S SECRET

Victoria's Secret's Dream Angels Bra line with memory fit and a lot of lift will definitely liven up a woman's bra collection. Starting at US$45, they are available in all styles - push-up, demi, wireless and full coverage - colours, and sizes - 32A-38DD. The secret is out. What else could a girl ask for?

SURGERY IN A BRA?

You guessed it! Thanks to Bali's Satin Tracings Minimiser Bra, really blessed women can have comfort cushion straps that prevent shoulder irritation and reduce strain in a bra that reduces the size of your breast, not its shape. This baby has unlined, cushion-tipped under-wire cups and comes in a shimmering satin with a pretty floral design.

Purchasing is easy, log on to www.barenecessities.com /product.aspx?pf_id=Bali3562 and get them for only US$24.

So you might ask, what about sourcing these bras locally? Answer: Though you might not be able to find the exact items, there are a lot of 'style steals' as well as other brands on hand at department or lingerie stores like Ammar's, Joseph's, Lee's Fifth Avenue, Baba's, Posh's, among others, bearing similar features.
