Buying A lingerie online? Points to understand the questions every woman has in Mind

Every woman has some questions before buying Lingerie and the below article covers some brief information about how to evaluate those aspects as well as what basic standards are needed by the Brand.

Breathability – A Lingerie or Swimwear touches the most intimate parts of your body and due to hectic activities or hot weather, a lot of sweating can cause uneasiness. Breathability is achieved by proper mixing of fabrics as Basic fabrics like Polyamide and Elastane would create silk feelings, but they need to be mixed with polyester, viscose, and cotton which results in breathability along with mixability. Different purposes and construction need different mixing and it needs to be researched widely. A quality Lingerie would have 4 to 5 different fabrics mixed to achieve balance based on the construction and purpose of that innerwear. Sweating and odor are one of the most prominent problems associated with Lingerie and breathability would take care of this.

Fitting- Apart from Fabric fitting would need a very deep understanding of breast weight management and functionality, Placing of underwires and band strength along with the joining of individual l pieces. As in modern days, Lingerie is the basis of outerwear and style statements so a fitting is not just a simple shape but very deep research into pattern making. Before buying the Lingerie, you must research if those important aspects are understood by the brand.

Skin rashes and marks – Skin Rashes Are created by the harmful dyes and chemicals used to achieve the functions like color, wrinkle-free, and smoothness. This needs a very expensive and focused production method LIKE OEKO TEX 100 from scratch which removes all the chemicals harmful to the skin and makes Lingerie soft and comfortable for the skin all the time. You must read the blogs of brands to know the quality aspects and to know if they understand these things

Stretchability – Apart from Mixing the fabric Stretchability has some standards like European standards where a quality Bra or Panty must be made within the 3.5 mm of the desired movement. The flexibility and tensile strength of straps about cup sizes and applications to support the breast size need research and it varies for every pattern. Quality Brands would discuss this aspect in their brand communications as well as incorporate these details in their production method.

Production standards – Quality Lingerie makers would have their production method aligned completely with the standards like OEKO TEX OR ISO 9002 which removes harmful chemicals not only from fabric but from all parts like accessories, Elastics as well all production methods related to the construction are followed. For example, chemicals like Formaldehyde and Nickel are removed from Fabric and Hooks.

Softness to breast and private parts tissues – Of course, Fabric is one of the components, but there are other important aspects. As discussed, understanding patterns, and joining them to support the breast during various activities need research from the designers and pattern makers.

Every design by a quality designer is made with the functions and dressing style in mind and you must read their blogs to understand the pattern based on occasion and body shape.
