If you have a smaller size body type and bust then it is very important that you choose a piece of lingerie that has adjustable straps, an underwire bra and padding. The under wire and padding will help accentuate those elements of your body. It also helps ensure that your assets are well formed and they can portray a larger size with the right padding.
Larger ladies or those who have a plus size body type will find that you are better off buying lingerie that doesn't have a strictly formed bra shape with under wire as this will allow more flexibility. It is also advisable to buy a more flexible or stretchy style material. The material will then mould around your body providing a really close fit.
Whilst stretch is definitely important, the other issue to remember is to ensure that the lingerie item also keeps you firm and provides a form of support. This firmness is very important around the bust as it will be the substitute for holding this area in the right place.
The reason that we choose a lingerie item that has an element of stretch but still provides firmness is to help portray the illusion that you are actually wearing a bra.
