Choose your Lingerie with care
The lingerie you grab from your wardrobe in a hurry on a hectic morning can either make you look well-dressed or terrible. Lingerie decides how any outfit looks on you. It could make it look either posh or down-right low-priced. Hence it is crucial to choose your lingerie consciously. Select a store where people are well versed in the lingerie fashion.

Don’t compromise on fit
Rectify the basic size and fit issues before going for enhancements. Find out your correct bra and cup sizes if you haven’t already. Also if you haven’t measured your size in a long while take time to do so to be more confident about your current bra size.
Choose your lingerie type according to your body type
Padded bra for the rescue
For a pear shaped body you can achieve an hour-glass figure by using bust enhancing bras. It will balance your appearance by adding volume to bust line to align with your broader waist. You can choose from different thickness of padding like light, medium and heavy as per your need. If you have rectangle shape body or more athletic type padded bras are a must to create hourglass figure.
A bustier or Corset?
Actually both will work to achieve an hour glass shape. A corset will cinch at the waist and make your bosom look bigger. The lace and frills in a corset will add to the bulk and create a perfect hourglass shape. A bustier with padded cups is a great choice as it would give shape to your waist and volume to your bust. Apart from that it flattens your waist while giving a toned appearance. Bustier is the lighter version of corset. It enhances your bust while creating a perfect shape at your waist.
If you don’t have a bustier, don’t worry. A camisole can do a job when layered on top of a padded bra.
However, we strongly recommend a balconette bra clubbed with a body shaper to get a bang on hourglass shape!

Pushup bras are another option to make your bust look bigger especially for petite women. It makes your torso appears longer as it lifts your breasts up.
