How to Wear a Corset or Bra as a Top





Always the trendsetter, Rihanna is often spotted rocking a corset or bra as a top. Nobody does it better. Of course rock-stars can get away with wearing styles that are more outrageous than most of us. But you can wear this trend if you follow a few rules:


1. If you are wearing a bra as a top, wear a high-waisted pant or skirt to cover your bellybutton. Less midruff will show, and it will appear more classy than hoochy.

2. When wearing a bustier or bra as a top, throw on a blazer or sweater as a cover-up. You can leave it open in the front, but the outfit definitely needs an extra piece so it looks like you didn’t just forget your shirt.

3. Small to average sized breasts can easily pull this look off. If you have large breasts consider wearing a bra with the corset, so you have the extra coverage and support. Don’t show more than 3 or 4 inches of cleavage!



If you have any other suggestions, I would love to hear them! Leave them in the comments section. Happy New Year!

Aubade has outdone themselves this time. The new Love Circus is so beautiful, I can't stop staring at it! The embroidered floral print bra has elements of polka dots and lurex running through it.

Bra intervention via Facebook

I have recently been chatting up an old friend from high school on Facebook. She really wanted a copy of Underneath It All, so I sent her one. The messages that ensued from there are hilarious.

Her: I read your bra life expectancy. omg, I keep them till they dirty and shredding, how sad is that. And how sad is that I don't have any matching anything. This book is inspiring me…

Me: I tell her she really needs to get a bra fitting and get some new bras. She decides to sort out what she has.

Her: Okay, I am left with 3 bras: a sports bra with a hole, my racerback and a black bra that fits too tight. Oops, make that 4, I have a hand me down from my husband's Aunt which I put an extra extension on to try to make it work. My left boob overflows…

Me: I tell her to destroy her bra with the hole in it. I don’t specify how.

Her: Done, literally just threw it in the wood stove, never burned a bra before, it really got going I had to damper down the stove.

While my good friend from years past (I won’t mention how many years) is on the road to recovery, I know that lots of you need bra or underwear interventions yourself. I would love to hear your stories about the good, bad and ugly parts of your lingerie wardrobe. Malfunctions, successful purchases or scenarios. Anything. Email them to me: jennifer@bellefleurlingerie.com. Let me know if I can post them in the blog and whether or not I should use your name.
