Yet in the UK alone more than 80% of women are wearing the wrong size bra!! As the writer of this article emphasizes, this is serious, because our top-clothes will never look as good as they should, if the foundations are wrong! She also makes a startling claim: making the best of our assets by ensuring we have the very best bra helps many women to avoid surgery!! Wow!! Thought-provoking reading, written by a very honest professional, who feels her own training was too short, and suggests it was at least, in part, commercially-driven:<br /> <a href="http://thelingeriejournal.com/the-lingerie-fitter-the-foundation-professional/" rel="nofollow">http://thelingeriejournal.com/.....fessional/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-40#post-682263 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 19:27:32 +0000 Nadya 682263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've never posted any, and this week I have two!

It remined me of Michelle's blog post on cotton. The link (I hope it works for non-subscribers) isn't exactly like the article in the paper. Be sure to click in the interactive graphics tab to get a longer list.<br /> From the article I read, silk and polypropylene were much better choices than bamboo, wool or cotton. </p> <p><a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/fashion_journal.html#articleTabs%3Darticle" rel="nofollow">http://online.wsj.com/article/.....%3Darticle</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-40#post-681207 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 14:38:29 +0000 Angie 681207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm linking to the boys today :)</p> <p>If I saw this bloke walking down the street, I would smile and think it's fab that he has fun with fashion. </p> <p><a href="http://www.thesartorialist.com/men/on-the-street-leather-shorts-florence/" rel="nofollow">http://www.thesartorialist.com.....-florence/</a></p> <p>This bloke and I are going to be navy blue peacock twins this Winter - after I get my navy coat!
