What a bra is
How the bra, which sounds elegant but is actually a bit inexplicable, entered the mainland and replaced the traditional names such as bra and milk cover in Mandarin, is no longer available. But its Hong Kong color seems unquestionable, and bras are chest fashion to protect health and correct women's breast lines.
Compared with the underwear known as "profanity" in ancient times, modern bras have made significant progress from flat to three-dimensional structure, from covering and restraining to revealing and caring. The "corset" of the last century was just a piece of embroidered cloth or a few feet of white silk bundled around the chest, so that the curve of the chest disappeared under the wide shirt, and today's bra does everything it can to bake the curve of the chest. The letters A, B, C and mathematical formulas 1/2 and 3/4 are used to indicate the shape and size of the bra, giving women who are willing to put a lot of effort into underwear a finer choice.
In daily life, bras have almost no chance of showing their heads, so women who are generally financially inadequate tend not to pay too much attention to corsets. The precious bra has become one of the representatives of the quality of life, which not only means rich financial resources, but also needs to satisfy a beautiful state of mind. Outerwear is beautiful and inevitably shared with everyone, but underwear is purely a "stunner" for private enjoyment, inherently with a private atmosphere, so it is easy to move the heartstrings, and buying a satisfactory bra is a pleasant emotional consumption. Some men are said to be very good at giving their girlfriends a piece of refined underwear at the right time as a chic gift, which will make a smile and love will naturally go smoothly.
Underwear is made of light colors such as white and pink as classic colors, which means purity. The colors used in the popular bra are becoming more and more bold, and almost all the colors found on the outerwear can be found in the bra. In terms of materials, we pursue novelty and comfort, and microfiber and LYCRA super elastic fiber are popular. Lace, lace, prints and embroidery are still fashionable decorations, embedded in women's hearts.
