The Magnificence of Underwires in Custom-made Bras

25 May 2024 / The Magnificence of Underwires

The magnificence of underwires in custom-made bras

Welcome to Sunbird Lingerie, where comfort and confidence are celebrated. As a lover of custom lingerie, I understand the significance of every little detail in creating the perfect bra. Today, let’s delve into the world of underwires. Those unsung heroes of support and comfort elevate your everyday wear to extraordinary levels when fitted correctly!

Understanding Underwires:

Underwires are like the structural framework of a bra. They are thin, flexible wires sewn into the fabric casing beneath the cups, tracing the natural curve of your bust. Contrary to popular belief, underwires aren’t supposed to be the cause of any discomfort. When properly fitted, they offer incredible support and shape. Your breasts will be gently lifted, and perfectly contoured.

Support Tailored to You:

One of the greatest advantages of custom-made bras is the ability to tailor every aspect to your unique body shape and preferences. Underwires play a pivotal role in this bespoke process. Whether you prefer a subtle lift for everyday wear or crave maximum support for special occasions. I carefully design each bra to meet your specific requirements.

Enhanced Comfort:

Comfort is key in lingerie, and underwires are no exception. The key lies in choosing the right size and shape to compliment your body. My custom-made bras prioritize comfort without compromising on style. By using the highest quality materials and giving my utmost attention to detail, I ensure that the underwires seamlessly integrate into the bra. This allows you to move freely and confidently throughout your day.

Shape and Definition:

Underwires are the secret behind that coveted silhouette – the perfect blend of shape and definition. By gently lifting and centring the breasts, underwires create a flattering profile that enhances your natural curves. Whether you’re wearing a form-fitting dress or a t-shirt, the right underwire bra provides the foundation for a flawless look. Thus empowering you to embrace your unique beauty with confidence.

Dispelling Myths:

Unfortunately, underwires have a somewhat undeserved reputation for being uncomfortable or restrictive. This misconception often stems from ill-fitting bras rather than the underwires themselves. Sunbird Lingerie prioritises your perfect fit above all else. I make each bra to your precise measurements for optimal comfort and support.

By embracing the magnificence of underwires, you’re ensuring comfort, support, and confidence in every moment of your day. Let Sunbird Lingerie help you discover the perfect fit, one underwire at a time. Celebrate the beauty of custom lingerie, where every stitch is a testament to your unique style and individuality.

Elastics: Hero or Villain

30 March 2024 / Elastics: Hero or Villain

Lingerie Elastics: Heros or Villains

In the lingerie world, the often-overlooked hero – elastic – is crucial in providing comfort, support, and that perfect fit. However, not all elastics are created equal, and the consequences of poorly designed or low-quality elastics can be more significant than meets the eye. Join us as we delve into the common issues women face with subpar elastics in their bras and undies and discover the transformative power of plush, high-quality elastics.

The Pinch and Bind Chronicles: Villains!

Poorly designed/manufactured elastics can be the culprit behind the notorious pinching and binding sensations that plague women wearing ill-fitting undergarments. The discomfort caused by these elastics can turn a promising lingerie piece into a daily nuisance, leaving wearers constantly adjusting and readjusting.

The Battle of the Bulge: Villains!

Inadequate elastics often fail to provide the necessary support, leading to the dreaded ‘muffin top’ effect. When elastics lack the proper stretch and recovery, they can dig into the skin, creating unflattering bulges that compromise confidence and silhouette.

Elastic Fatigue – The Silent Saboteur

Over time, subpar elastics lose their resilience, leading to what can only be described as “elastic fatigue.” Bras and undies that once provided a snug and supportive fit gradually succumb to sagging and drooping, leaving wearers with a compromised shape and reduced comfort.

The Allergic Reaction Dilemma

There are elastics that due to their composition may trigger allergic reactions or irritate sensitive skin. Women with allergies or sensitivities may find themselves dealing with redness, itching, or discomfort caused by the very underwear that should provide solace.

A Ray of Hope – The Plush Elastic Revolution: Heros!

Enter the world of plush elastics – a game-changer in lingerie design. Plush elastics, known for their superior stretch, softness, and durability, address these issues head-on. These elastics conform to the body’s contours without sacrificing support, ensuring a comfortable and flattering fit.

Ours are all Heros!

Sophia Micro Mini

I source the highest quality elastics, literally from around the world. I would love to source them from Australia, but sadly, we don’t manufacture them here.

Having loads of elastics, I can cover different requirements. I love plush elastic. Plush elastic is available in many different widths. Depending on the size of the garment or the position the elastic is used, a different width may be required. There are different strengths or stretch variations depending on the position, garment and size. For example, we need super soft stretch for our undies. Bra bands require more “strength”, so less stretch, giving more support, especially for a full bust. If you have allergies, I use another type of elastic that I enclose so it’s not touching your skin. As these are all the highest quality available, they have the best recovery.

As women, we deserve underwear that looks beautiful but is also comfortable and supportive throughout the day. By understanding the pitfalls of poorly designed or subpar elastics, we empower ourselves to make informed choices when selecting lingerie. Embrace the plush elastic revolution, and say goodbye to the struggles of uncomfortable underwear. Your body deserves the best, and plush elastics are here to deliver just that – a perfect blend of style, comfort, and confidence.

The Perils of Poorly Fitting Underwear

16 March 2024 / The Perils of Poorly Fitting Underwear

Welcome to Sunbird Lingerie, where we believe that feeling confident and comfortable in your own skin starts with the right foundation. While most of us spend time and effort selecting the perfect outerwear, we often overlook the importance of well-fitted underwear. In this blog post, we’ll dive into the common issues associated with poorly fitted briefs and undies, and why finding the correct size is crucial for both comfort and confidence.

The Perils of Poorly Fitting Underwear.

The Visible Consequences:

From visible panty lines to uncomfortable bulges, the wrong size can draw attention for all the wrong reasons. At Sunbird Lingerie, we believe that your confidence should shine from the inside out, and that starts with the right fit.

Health Matters:

Beyond aesthetics, choosing the wrong size can impact your health. Tight underwear can lead to chafing, and irritation, and even contribute to skin infections.

Prioritizing your health means selecting lingerie that not only makes you look good but also feels good.

At Sunbird Lingerie, we understand the uniqueness of every body, which is why we offer a variety of sizes and custom adjustments, to ensure a perfect fit for everyone.

The Importance of a Professional Fitting:

While online sizing guides can be helpful, nothing beats the expertise of an experienced fitter. Sunbird Lingerie takes pride in personalizing fitting, ensuring that each customer finds the ideal lingerie to enhance their natural beauty. This covers sizing and fit issues, fabric and colour choices, even specific construction details, such as seam or strap placement. We guarantee you’ll fall in love with your lingerie!

Choosing the Right Style:

It’s not just about size; the style of your underwear matters too. Different body shapes and outfits call for various styles, and we can help guide you to the perfect match. From comfortable everyday briefs to alluring lace undies, we have a wide range of options to suit your unique preferences and needs. We offer advice on building your Lingerie Wardrobe to suit your needs.

Bra Strap Woes

9 March 2024 / Bra Stra Woes

Say Goodbye to Shoulder Dents and Bra Straps Slipping Off: The Importance of a Properly Fitted Bra

Bra Strap Woes are known to every woman, the discomfort of dealing with bra straps that dig into their shoulders, leaving painful dents, or constantly slipping off. These issues not only cause physical discomfort but can also affect confidence and overall well-being. However, before resigning yourself to a lifetime of discomfort, it’s crucial to understand the root causes of these problems and explore effective solutions. In this blog, we’ll delve into why bra straps may cause shoulder dents and how a properly fitted bra, along with padded fabric straps, can offer much-needed relief.

The Culprit: Ill-Fitting Bras

One of the primary reasons why bra straps dig into the shoulders or slip off is an ill-fitting bra. When the bra band is too loose, the straps bear more weight, leading to increased pressure on the shoulders. Conversely, if the band is too tight, it can cause the straps to dig into the skin, leaving indentations.

Shoulder Dents:

The Unwelcome Consequence Women who experience shoulder dents from their bra straps often find them to be more than just a physical discomfort. These marks can linger for hours, serving as a constant reminder of the discomfort endured. Additionally, repeated pressure on the shoulders can cause long-term issues such as muscle strain and tension headaches, further emphasizing the importance of finding a solution.

Slipping Straps:

A frustrating predicament, on the other hand, dealing with bra straps that continually slip off the shoulders can be equally frustrating. Not only does it require frequent readjustment, but it also compromises the support provided by the bra, potentially leading to discomfort and even pain throughout the day.

The Solution: Properly Fitted Bras

Fortunately, there are practical solutions to both of these common bra-related issues. The first step is to ensure that you are wearing the correct bra size. A custom bra fitting can help determine the appropriate band and cup size for your body, and even your specific strap placement point, ensuring optimal support and comfort.

Padded Fabric Straps

In addition to a properly fitted bra, opting for bras with padded fabric straps can provide added comfort and alleviate pressure on the shoulders. These straps are designed to distribute weight more evenly, reducing the likelihood of shoulder dents and minimizing the risk of slipping.

The Bra Band: Our Hero

Furthermore, paying attention to the bra band is essential. It should sit snugly around your ribcage, providing the majority of the support. If the band is too loose, it will place more strain on the straps, exacerbating shoulder discomfort. Conversely, if it’s too tight, it can cause discomfort and compromise circulation.

Bra Strap Woes: Problem Solved

Dealing with bra straps that leave dents in your shoulders or constantly slip off can be a frustrating experience. However, by prioritizing proper fit and investing in custom-made bras with padded fabric straps, you can alleviate these issues and enjoy enhanced comfort and support throughout the day. Remember, your undergarments should support you, not cause discomfort. So, don’t hesitate to prioritize your comfort and well-being by choosing bras that fit you perfectly.

The Bra Fitting Struggle: My Fitting Issues with Store-Bought Bras

2 March 2024 / The Bra Fitting Struggle

The Bra Fitting Struggle: My story with store-bought bras

The bra-fitting struggle affects us all. Even I enjoy being the shopper for a gorgeous bra I just happen to spot. But, in the world of lingerie, finding the perfect bra can sometimes feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. I understand and see the frustration that comes with trying to make store-bought bras work for your unique shape. From underwires that are too wide and too long to that perpetual feeling of needing just a bit more room in the back, the struggle is real. In this blog post, I’ll delve into my bra fitting issues and share some insights into why getting the right fit matters.

The plight of underwires in our Bra Fitting Struggle

If your underwire hurts you or is uncomfortable in any way, it’s the wrong underwire for you!

The Challenge of Wide and Long Underwires: One of the most common issues I’ve encountered with store-bought bras is underwires that are simply not designed to accommodate my body shape. The underwires often extend too far under my arms, causing discomfort and sometimes even poking into my skin. Additionally, they tend to be too wide, resulting in gaps between the wire and my chest where support is lacking.

The Conundrum of Sizing:

Despite diligently measuring myself and following size charts, I often find myself between sizes or feeling like the bra size I’ve chosen isn’t quite right. For example, while a size 10 may technically fit my band measurement, it often feels like it’s just slightly too small at the back, making it tight by the end of the day. However, sizing up isn’t always the solution, as it can lead to other fit issues, such as cups that are too large or straps that slip off my shoulders.

The old solution of adding a bra back extender just creates even more distorted fitting issues. This is not the solution.

Balancing Comfort and Support:

One of the biggest challenges in bra shopping is finding a balance between comfort and support. While I want a bra that provides ample support, I also don’t want to sacrifice comfort for the sake of lift and shape. Unfortunately, many store-bought bras seem to prioritize aesthetics over function, leading to designs that look great but fall short in terms of wearability. A great bra should be comfortable all day long, giving the wearer support and a great shape with lift. And looks fabulous too! You can have it all!

Exploring Alternative Solutions:

The Importance of Proper Bra Fitting = A Propper Fitting Bra

A bra that fits well not only enhances your silhouette but also boosts your confidence and overall comfort. Investing time in getting the right fit can make all the difference in how you feel in your lingerie.

In Conclusion:

The journey to finding the perfect bra is a deeply personal one, filled with ups and downs along the way. While store-bought bras may present their fair share of challenges, it’s important to remember that there are alternative solutions and resources available.

Cue Sunbird Lingerie Custom Fitting. Do you have approximately 30 minutes to get the best-fitting bra you have ever worn? Reach out. I’m here to help.

As I hand-cut and handcraft every item, I take the opportunity to customise the fit for every customer and every garment. This takes a few more questions, measurements and time, but isn’t your comfort and confidence worth it? By prioritizing comfort, support, and proper fitting, we can empower ourselves to embrace our bodies and feel confident in whatever lingerie we choose to wear.

It’s Not the Bra, It’s You!

10 February 2024 / It's not the bra, it's you!

Embrace Comfort with Custom-Made Lingerie

In the world of lingerie, one size certainly does not fit all. Every woman is unique, and so are her curves. It’s time to bid farewell to the days of uncomfortable shop-bought bras and embrace a revolution in lingerie that celebrates individuality. Say it with us: “It’s not the bra – it’s you!”

Celebrating Uniqueness:

It’s time to acknowledge the undeniable truth – no two boobs are the same. From size and shape to volume, our bodies are wonderfully diverse. Yet, many of us have struggled with off-the-rack bras that simply don’t cater to our individuality. Enter the era of custom-made lingerie, where your uniqueness is not just acknowledged but celebrated.

The Uncomfortable Truth About Shop-Bought Bras:

How many times have you eagerly awaited the moment to unhook your bra at the end of the day? Shop-bought bras, although available in a variety of sizes, often fail to accommodate the subtle differences between each breast. This leads to discomfort, constant adjustments, and a feeling that the bra is wearing you instead of the other way around.

Embrace the Comfort of Customization:

Custom-made bras are a game-changer. Crafted to fit your unique shape, size, and volume, they eliminate the common issues associated with mass-produced lingerie. Imagine slipping into a bra that feels like it was made just for you – because it was! Customization allows for adjustments that cater to the subtle nuances of your body, ensuring optimal comfort throughout the day.

No More Compromises:

Have you ever settled for a bra that fits one breast perfectly but leaves the other feeling neglected? With custom-made lingerie, there’s no need for compromises. Each bra is meticulously designed to accommodate the individual characteristics of both breasts, providing a symmetrical and comfortable fit.

Just like a fine wine needs time to mature, a custom-made bra requires attention to detail. By placing your order at least two months before your desired delivery date, you allow for consultations, fittings, and any necessary adjustments. This ensures that the final product is not just a piece of lingerie but a tailored masterpiece designed exclusively for you.

It’s time to redefine the relationship between women and their bras. Instead of settling for discomfort and compromise, embrace the freedom of custom-made lingerie. Celebrate the beauty of your uniqueness and revel in the comfort of lingerie that truly fits. Remember, when it comes to comfort, it’s not the bra – it’s you!

Why buy bespoke underwear?

17 January 2023 / why buy bespoke underwear

When you buy bespoke underwear you get your dream set of lingerie.

Why buy bespoke underwear?

Bespoke at Sunbird Lingerie means perfection in fit.

Then you can choose from a variety of pretty, often unique fabrics and embellishments as far as lingerie goes! Nothing is too over-the-top.

There is no exact science or maths to lingerie design and fitting. This is mainly because each body requires a slightly different fit from any other body. Even having two women with the same measurements, their shape and therefore fit requirements can be different. Lingerie brands are made to “industry standard” measurements, and we just have to fit as best as possible into these garments.

Why buy bespoke underwear?

Get gorgeous! with Bespoke Lingerie

To feel gorgeous, you need to feel comfortable. Then indulge in your choice of styling and luxurious embellishments, all starting with your customised fitting garments.

The lingerie industry does its best to provide comfortable-fitting garments, but nothing can compare to custom-made. I am self-taught with a few courses here and there. At the end of the day, you just have to test everything. Even something relatively simple, such as elastic application, has many different theories and percentages of stretch etc. Every client is different, every fabric is different. every elastic is different, every cut is different.

Professional tuition!

I recently had a “one on one” professional tuition from the fashion capital…London!

This was an embellishment course that taught traditional hand-sewing methods and how to apply those to create different effects. I thoroughly enjoyed this tuition. I can hand sew one of my hand-made bows (the link shows an example of my hand-made bows, made from French Satin Ribbon. This one has a very special pearl centre.) that will not fall off in the first wash ( just like my online shopping experience! That’s what happens with a machine-sewn bow)

So, look out for lots of fancy crystal-embellished garments on their way!

100% Love it guarantee

Sunbird Lingerie always has a 100% LOVE IT guarantee.

The goal / the guarantee:

All customers are completely in love with their Sunbird Lingerie every time it’s worn xx

The correct way to put on a bra

11 November 2022 / the correct way to put on a bra

The correct way to put on a bra, or, how not to damage your bra when putting it on.

The correct way to put on a bra.

Bras must be put on correctly for comfort and fit and not to damage the underwire or the cup.

This sounds like a very strange statement. Once you know “how to” you’ll understand the importance of correctly putting on your bra.

Knowing the result helps make more sense of how to put on your bra.

Result:

You want your entire breast tissue encased and supported by the cup.

The underwire should sit flat against your chest at all points whilst fully encircling your breast.

The band creates 80% of the support in a bra. Always start on the loosest hook setting. With wear, the band will naturally expand, and then you can go to tighter closure options. The bra band should fit like the one in the photo below. It should run parallel to the floor. It should not ride up.

The straps should be firm but not dig into your shoulders. To test for the correct fit, you should be able to comfortably place two fingers under your bra strap. No more, no less.

**Always start with the loosest hook and eye.**

🎯 Pro Tip:

The fit of the underwire and the band are crucial for a correctly fitting bra.

FUN FACT💡

Correctly fitting bras are more comfortable than not wearing a bra.

The correct way to put on a bra.

There are 2 options.

I will give you the best option first.

The second option is the easiest for most women, including myself!

The correct way to put on a bra: Option #1

Hold your bra in front of you, with the inside of the bra facing you, right way up.

Put your arms through the straps.

STOOP, or bend forward, placing the bra in place with your breasts in the cup.

Fasten the hook and eye on the loosest setting. (This is the tricky bit! The bit I can’t do.)

While still stooped over, gently with your opposite hand to each breast, scoop all of your breast tissue and swoop it up and towards the centre of your body. This is lifting the breast into the cup.

Then position the band to ensure the underwires are sitting at your breast root, directly against your chest, comfortably encircling your breast.

This technique is called the stoop, scoop and swoop!

Next, adjust your straps so that you can comfortably place two fingers under the straps.

The correct way to put on a bra: Option #2

The only difference is the initial putting on and hooking up.

Have your bra the correct way up ( not cups facing down) around your waist, with the hook and eye to the front.

Fasten the hook and eye on the loosest setting.

Very gently in small movements, twist your bra around your waist until the cups are to the front.

Stoop forward, put your arms through the straps and position the bra as you would wear it.

Then do the scoop and swoop as in option #1.

Position the band and the underwires and adjust the bra straps the same as in option #1.

If any of these fitting points are not correct, I recommend starting from the beginning and trying again. If this fails on your second attempt, you may need to be refitted for correct sizing.
