Choosing the Right Bra > Here's a little guide to fabrics and uses…

Fabrics... we love them in lace, guipure, cotton... And the more bras you have, the less often you’ll need to wash them out in the sink! One a day, one load of laundry a week, and you’re set. Always buy coordinates, so you won’t find yourself with a pink slip and an olive green bra! Depending on whether you're wearing light or heavier clothing, jogging or dining out, and whether it's summer or winter, your bra fabric will vary.

The irreplaceables
Natural fibers still hold our affection. We're sentimental about the rustle of silk and the eternal softness of cotton.

Cotton remains one of the most common materials for bras. Most of the time, it's a blend. When it's the majority component, with a little elastene, it makes unpretentious, simple underclothes. With modal, it's soft, supple and easy to care for. Ideal with a little cotton guipure above the cups or in.

English embroidery for a grandmother's-trousseau vintage kind of look. It's the perfect comfort material that you choose when you want to be at ease in every circumstance - and it's ideal for hot weather.

Silk is very "boudoir," used alone or almost, with just enough elastene to make it conform perfectly to your breasts. Guaranteed glamour for the evening…

Always in style
Synthetic fibers are well suited to lingerie. They hold up well, are easy to work with and ensure prettiness and optimum comfort.

Satin and polyester are silky and velvety. As comfortable as elastene, they give a more delicate feminine look to lingerie. Perfect for morning or evening.

Lace and tulle, polyamides, provide see-through looks that give a false sense of modesty. Polyamides are the ideal material for ultra-thin little tulles or chaste but glamorous Chantilly lace.

The wet, shiny "second skin" look: elastene, microfibers and Lycra, 100% comfort, allow bra cups to mold as closely as possible to the shape of your breasts, ensuring perfect support: silky translucent lingerie through which you can just make out the skin beneath. The smooth feel and sometimes seamless designs minimize chafing and make comfortable bras in which it's a pleasure to move.
