Necklines always cutting in? Why full cups may be your foes and power bars your unlikely friends
I have a series of posts about the physics behind supportive bras. In the first post, I described that the band should make up most of the support system of a bra – but this doesn’t mean the straps are not important. The best way to boil that post down is that the band provides…
