​Bras Outside the Box is a body-positive blog about bras and lingerie.

What are quarter cup bras, and what are they for? These are usually look-at-me, sensual styles meant to reveal the top three-quarters of the breasts. They can either be entirely empty over the tops, or have sheer lace or mesh overlay.

Wearing clothes that resemble lingerie, or lingerie that can double as clothing, is not a new thing. It's a trend that comes and goes, but with lots of '90s styles being highlighted at the moment, I'm happy to see this look showing up more often. We're seeing babydoll dresses, camisole tops, and layered spaghetti-strap tanks. Artless Forever is a Los Angeles boutique that fully embraces '90s minimalism and features several lingerie-inspired pieces.

I'm writing this b.tempt'd Ciao Bella bra review because it is a highly recommended bra on the reddit forum A Bra That Fits for women with wide-set breasts. I had bought the Ciao Bella bra a while ago based on this advice. It does indeed fit well on me, and if you are wide-set, I would recommend at least trying it. But this is not one of my personal favorites. For me, it falls short on comfort.

I bought this light beige Dobreva longline wireless push-up bra used on Mercari, because I'm cheap and wanted to try it without having to commit to making a new purchase. As it turns out, I'm quite happy with it. So I decided to write up a Dobreva bra review.

Victoria’s Secret Bra Review: Denim Rose Lace Push-Up. VS still has the Denim Rose Lace Push-Up Bra in stock, but the style has changed a bit since I bought it. It now has a different center gore, and the rose pattern is done in black rather than metallic silver. I assume for the purpose of this bra review's fit advice that the updated version isn't drastically different. But I can't say for certain that they haven't changed any aspects of how it might fit.

I've been getting into the sheer mesh layering trend lately. My interpretation is wearing a delicate, deliberately sheer nylon mesh lingerie top over a bra, bralette, cami, or slim-fit tank. This allows lingerie to enter the realm of acceptable everyday clothing, similar to what a slipdress can do. First, you need to make sure you have the right fit in each piece. If your bralette is too small or too large, that will interrupt the natural flow of your body's lines and curves.
