Consider this our Valentine's Day gift to busty gals.
Once upon a time, I was a ballerina—an awkward one at that. Coming
from a family of busty women, many of whom went to the extreme lengths
of breast reductions to ease the pressure on their backs, my early
development put a strain on my posture and poise—not to mention my hopes
of becoming a professional plié-er. While it's been years since I've
donned my requisite leotard, I never thought my salvation would come
from a bra that is similarly put on by stepping into it.
The problem with most fashionable bras is that the weight falls on
the modest straps for support, while more comfortable options often
skimp out on aesthetics.
Yasmin Joseph,
however, boasts comfort and boosts confidence with an innovative
silhouette that trades traditional clasps for a smooth fuller back that
acts as a pillar. Additionally, all styles offer an attractive appeal,
with looks ranging from delicate to sultry.
The intimates ($50–$70) are offered with or without padding, which is
minimal and simply offers shape rather than extra cushioning. Sizes
range from XS to XXL—don't worry, the site helps you
convert your traditional number-letter sizing. Many brassieres, including my beloved red-and-black option ($60) above, are suited for V-Day, and its current
promotion for the romantic holiday promises one free bra with your purchase of two or two free with your purchase of four.
