Workout Clothing: How To Pick The Right Sports Bra

Thursday, March 29th, 2012

 

The weather is getting warmer. If you haven’t been hip on fitness and wellness this year, it is time to get started. There is no better motivator to start with a workout plan than fitting the part with workout clothing.

 

We are here to help you get started with a few great tips on shopping for a comfortable and attractive sports bra.

 

The Importance of Wearing A Sports Bra For Workout

 

A sports bra is necessary for working out because it will place each breast in a separate chamber. This will reduce the bounce of your breast to keep you modest during workouts while giving you the support you need.

 

Picking The Fit of Your Sports Bra

 

When picking the perfect fit for your sport bra, look for sports bras that come in cup and band sizes. Avoid sports bras that size in small, medium, or large. Sports bras with cup and band sizes will fit more precisely.

 

Have Cushion For Your Breast

 

Sports bras with strategically placed seams and stitching will help cushion your breast when you wear fitted tees to your workout session. You should also look for sports bras that have high performance fabrics that absorb sweat to minimize chafing.

 

Get Fitted For Your Sports Bra

 

For the best comfort, look, and support, you need to get fitted by an expert when it comes to purchasing a sports bra. Necessary Secrets can help you be confident in your sports wear no matter if you are jumping, swinging your arms or moving all around.

 

We can assure you that your sports bra will not rub, slip, jiggle, bulge, and hinder your breathing.

Bridal Garments: How To Pick The Right Bridal Slip

Wednesday, March 21st, 2012

 

You have the perfect dress for your wedding but you are still in need of a perfect bridal slip. If this is your circumstance, we are here to help you choose the perfect bridal slip by providing you a few how-tos. Get started.

 

A Bridal slip is used to add fullness to your wedding dress. There are two types of wedding slips – petticoat and hoop skirt. The petticoat slip has layers of tulle fabric to give your wedding dress complete fullness. A hoop skirt slip uses a plastic or metal hoop to add shape. The hoop skirt slip is very lightweight and perfect for warm wedding settings.

 

If you are not sure which is best for you, do the following steps when picking a slip:

 

Measure the Dress

 

You should measure the hem circumference of your dress to decide whether you need a petticoat or hoop skirt. Measuring tape should be used to measure from side-seam to side-seam. You should double that measurement. This will give you an estimate of how much additional fullness you will need.

 

Know The Right Fullness

 

Once you know the hem circumference of your dress, you can review the petticoat fullness guide. Never select a slip fuller than your wedding dress (exception: If you have a heavy silk or satin wedding dress).

 

A little fullness petticoat has a circumference can range from 94” to 125” inches. It is appropriate for A-line dresses. You can even use it for bridesmaid dresses.

 

A medium fullness petticoat circumference can range from 128” to 157” inches. It often starts below the hips and down to the hemline. It can be used for A-line and Dropped waist style dresses.

 

Mega Full

 

A mega full slip circumference ranges from 191” to 220” inches.  This slip has the greatest amount of fullness you can have for a slip. It should be worn for wedding dresses that flare out at the waistline. It is also a perfect slip for Quinceanera dresses.

How To Shop For A Body Flattering Swimsuit

Tuesday, March 13th, 2012

Necessary Secrets' Swimwear is the Best of Baltimore.

Winter is over in a few days! It is time to get ready for warm weather and sunshine! What better way to prepare than buying you a flattering swimsuit for your body type? We are here to help you find the perfect swimsuit by providing you a few tips on what looks best on your body type.

 

I’m Big-Chested

If you are a woman with larger breast assets, you know that it is hard to find a swimsuit because your top half is much bigger than your bottom half. But there is a solution for this dilemma. You should wear swimsuits with structure because you can move easily in your swimsuit without worrying about a wardrobe malfunction. The best structure swimsuits are patterned minimizer because they give you the support you need and slim down your figure. The fabric at the waist flatters the area between your chest and hips.

 

Microscope Bust

If you are a woman with very little bust, you will want a swimsuit that will build your bust and elongate your small frame. You can do this by buying a bright bathing suit that plays up your bustline. A two-piece bathing suit works best to enhance the appearance of your bust while making your legs look longer.

 

I’m Pear Shaped

You will never have to decide whether you should have an unflattering top or bottom again with a cutaway bathing suit style. A cutaway bathing suit accentuates a small waist while smoothing down your hips. It is sexy and classy all at once.

 

I’m Plus-Sized

Being a curvy woman is nothing to hide! Beautiful women like Marilyn Monroe were curvy and confident. Your bathing suit should be sexy yet practical with sturdy straps, a supportive bra and reasonable backside coverage. Emphasize your cleavage while concealing your thighs.

 

If you need a flattering and comfortable bathing suit today, check out Necessary Secrets’ Swimwear.

 

We carry swimwear all year round, everything from bikinis to one-pieces and are always keeping up with the current trends. Our wide variety of brands, sizes, styles and prices makes it your one stop shop for swimwear all year round. Visit us to see why we are voted Best of Baltimore for Swimwear year after year.

6 Ways To Be Healthy And Slim in Your Shapewear

Friday, March 9th, 2012

 

Are you aiming to look slimmer in your clothing? If yes, we are here to help you look slim, while staying healthy, with six shapewear tips.

 

Shapewear is used to help women tighten up their stomachs and slim their curves. Shapewear is an excellent product for enhancing a beautiful figure but it must be worn properly for health and a healthy appearance. If it hurts, do not wear it. Below are ways to get the right size shapewear:

 

Get Measured

You should be professionally measured before buying your shapewear. The sizing chart includes hip, waist and bra size measurements.

 

Shop For Comfort

When shopping for shapewear the size you pick should be comfortable. If it is not comfortable, you are wearing the wrong size. Shapewear is designed to be supportive and help address your problem areas.

 

Move Around

When checking to see how your shapewear fits, raise your arms, twist, bend over, sit, cross your legs, kneel down and perform movements you would do on a regular basis. Check to see if your shapewear stays in place. If your waist shifts while you are doing your activities, you need a different size. Try the size smaller or larger than the one worn until you find the right size for your figure.

 

Crotch Fitting

In your shapewear, your crotch should fit naturally and comfortably on you. If the crotch is too low it will cause irritation against your legs. If your crotch is too high it will pinch your inner area and make it challenging for you to be comfortable.

 

Checking Your Torso for Smoothness

The next thing you need to check is if your torso fits smoothly against your body. If you see bulge, your shapewear is too small. Wearing a smaller shapewear size will not help you look better; instead it will prevent you from getting the extra support you need. If wearing a size too big, you will see your torso area wrinkle. This means there is no support at all.

 

Rolling Edges

If any edges on your shapewear are rolled, you need to replace your shapewear because rolled edges indicate that your shapewear’s elasticity is deteriorating.

Equally as important as the right bra, the right piece of shapewear is crucial! As there are different bras for different tops, there are different styles of shapewear to serve different purposes. Everyday shapewear such as a cami-bra would be the perfect solution to visible back lines where as a heavy duty high waisted shaper from the bottom up would only contribute to the back lines problem. There are many different kinds of shapewear. It is important to have a wide variety of different style in your wardrobe. Bring your dresses and tops and let us help you look and feel your BEST!
