Behind The Seams on Lingerie Talk

Lingerie Talk has a post about an exhibit that explores mechanical clothing, with women's undergarments being the main focus. They have transformed over time as certain female figures shifted in and out of fashion.

"The pursuit of a perfect figure — however culture and custom defined it — has transfixed humanity for centuries. And a new exhibition opening in Paris today reveals that this most unapologetic expression of vanity isn’t confined to women alone. The history of mechanical manipulations of human anatomy through undergarments is given a thorough and very serious examination in Behind The Seams: An Indiscreet Look At The Mechanics of Fashion, which runs until Nov. 24 at the Museum of Decorative Arts in The Louvre. (Yes, leave it to the French to put their undies on display — in the Louvre, no less!)" - Richard on Undressing History: The Louvre Looks At The Mechanics Of Fashionable Shapes

Wearing the wrong bra can impact your physical health!

Making sure you're wearing a bra that fits just right is about much more than accentuating your figure. Poor fit can have a harmful bearing on a woman's psychology and health, just as it does on her silhouette. Constantly wearing the wrong size and suffering from the discomfort and pain of it over time can actually cause permanent health issues. Bad bras tends to ruin a woman's posture, causing damage to the muscles in her chest and back. If it doesn't provide enough support, it can cause pain in the breasts or chafe skin.
