Don't blame the wire - this is not the wire's fault!! 🤨
With the "always in support" ethos that we have at PostureFitting, being critical of a woman's choices is not something I do lightly. However, as our goal is to empower women to have & enact informed choice about breast support, I simply cannot ignore this image without hopefully using it to enlighten others.
Women tell us all the time that they hate wired bras & don't wear them because they are uncomfortable. This image is a somewhat extreme (and almost unfathomable 😳) example of how ill-fitting wire can be, not just uncomfortable, but downright painful!! 👀
But, blaming the wire in these situations is both wrong and, frankly, missing the point!!
The wire in a wired bra provides both shape and support to the breasts, but in so doing should lie ONLY on the rib cage (ie the ribs and the sternum, aka the breast bone), & NOT, indeed NEVER, on soft, sensitive breast tissue. It's bad enough if this image is showing a "wardrobe malfunction", because no wire should ever be under a level of pressure that causes it to break through fabric like this. But if that was the case, wouldn't you just pull the wires out rather than be stabbed, not just by one, but by both wires!
If this was the desired look, I for one am at a total loss as to why any stylist would subject a woman to such pain, but, more importantly, why any woman would agree to it!! Unless it was simply a way to beget conversations about the nastiness of wires .... 🤔... in which case it has succeeded based on the responses I have seen thus far!
In a PostureFitting, we teach you how to optimally support your breast weight both internally and externally, which includes learning about how a bra should fit. When a bra fits well, you don't even know you are wearing it.
We educate, enlighten & empower women & girls to be able to make informed choices about their breast support. We provide them with the confidence to say no if (as sadly often happens 🤨) they are being sold a product, or dressed in an item, that does not serve them as it should.
Pity Beyonce hadn't a PostureFitting prior to this event, to give her that ability to advocate better for her body! Women (& girls) don't know what they don't know until that situation is rectified.
