The Lingerie Dilemma: Why Finding the Perfect Fit Remains a Challenge for Women

Last Updated: Lingerie might be the first thing you put on in the morning, but its effect lasts all day Whether it's scrolling through endless product pages online or standing awkwardly in a store, lingerie shopping can be surprisingly frustrating. One of the biggest pain points is sizing. Online, most size guides barely scratch the surface. Without detailed charts that link actual measurements like underbust and overbust to cup and band sizes (such as 34B, 36C, etc.), it's almost impossible to figure out what will fit. 'In physical stores, especially in smaller towns, the situation is often worse. Many shops only stock bras by band size (like 32, 34, or 36), completely ignoring the cup size. You might be handed a bra labeled '34" and expected to fit into it whether you're a B, C, or even a DD. That's a massive range in bust volume, resulting in bras that either dig in and spill over or sit loose and unsupported. Add to that the lack of return policies on innerwear, and many women end up settling for something that 'kind of fits" instead of something that truly supports and flatters their body," says Arpana Jathanna Walters, Chief Design Officer, Enamor, Slimz, Dixcy Scott & Levi's Innerwear, Modenik Lifestyle. Let's face it: most lingerie brands in India design for the average medium sizes like 34B, 36B, or M/L are where most of the market is focused, simply because that's where the highest sales volume comes from. But real bodies don't come in just one shape or size. If you fall outside the 'standard' bracket, whether you're petite, curvy, tall, or short finding a bra or panty that fits well can be a struggle. Women with small busts (AA or A cups) or fuller chests (DD, E, F cups and up) often have to hunt across multiple stores or browse online, only to find limited options. And if your band size is under 32 or over 38? Even tougher. For underwear, it's just as tricky. If your hips are below 80 cm or over 120 cm, you're probably not finding much on regular shelves. This lack of inclusivity sends the wrong message, implying that if you don't fit the mold, your body is the problem. But really, the market just hasn't caught up with the diversity of Indian women. A lot of women simply don't know their right size—and it's not their fault. There's still a huge lack of awareness about how breast shape and size change over time, especially with age, weight fluctuations, or after childbirth. Many women continue wearing the same bra they wore years ago, even when their bodies have changed completely. This can lead to poor support, spillage, tightness, and that dreaded double-boob effect under clothes. On the flip side, the right bra can instantly lift, support, and even visually slim the torso improving posture and making clothes fit better. But to get there, you need to know what to look for. Unfortunately, social discomfort plays a huge role here. In many parts of India, lingerie is still seen as something to hide and not talk about. That makes women hesitant to ask questions or seek help with fit. In smaller shops, it's common for male shopkeepers to 'guess" a woman's size by looking at her, which adds another layer of awkwardness. Many women just nod and accept whatever is suggested, even if it's way off the mark. But thankfully, things are starting to change. The better lingerie brands are investing in real solutions. Instead of sticking to just band sizes, they're offering full alphanumeric sizing—so women can find something that fits both their ribcage and cup size correctly. Some brands are going even further with smart sizing, using high-stretch materials and seamless construction that adapts to the body's natural shape. These bras often come in more flexible categories like S, M, L, and XL, while still offering good support. That makes it easier for retailers to stock a wide range without the need for dozens of individual sizes—and it's better for shoppers too. More brands are also educating their customers. From how-to-measure videos and fit guides to AI sizing tools and in-store fittings, the focus is shifting to helping women understand what works best for their unique body types and lifestyles. One game-changer? Lingerie that adapts with your body's natural monthly changes. Breasts can swell or shrink slightly due to water retention and hormones, and flexible-fit bras can keep up with those shifts without sacrificing comfort. Lingerie might be the first thing you put on in the morning, but its effect lasts all day. A great-fitting bra isn't just about support, it changes how you stand, how your clothes sit, and even how you feel about yourself. When the fit is off, it's more than just annoying. You end up adjusting straps, dealing with pinching, feeling pressure points, or noticing weird bulges under your top. That discomfort can affect your mood, posture, and overall confidence. But when your bra fits right? You forget you're even wearing it. It becomes invisible—not physically, but emotionally. You feel secure, supported, and ready to take on your day. The right fit has the power to make you feel more in control and comfortable in your own skin—and every woman deserves lingerie that syncs with her body.

How to recreate fashion runway's favourite slicked-back hairstyle at home

The India couture week is around the corner. Given the past fashion showcases in Paris and Milan, the one thing that's becoming common on the runway—and will most probably be visible at the Indian couture week as well—is the sleek slicked-back, high-shine hair. Beyond the haute couture weeks, standalone shows, too, are presenting variations of the frizz-free hairstyle. At the Tom Ford show, for instance, several models walked flaunting sculpted dome-like slick hair. This combination of polish, precision and frizz-free practicality when it comes to hairstyle is perfect for the monsoon season. So, here are some easy runway-inspired slick looks you can try at home this season. Mermaid hair Mermaid-core hairstyle (big, wavy hair), which became a trend over a year ago, continues to be a big inspiration this season as well. At Jean Paul Gaultier, models had tendrils framing the face, with net veils on top adding to the drama. Rahul Mishra had more pushed back slick looks that you can try with various hair lengths. Deep side parts Want a quick change in your look? Change your parting. Or do sleek, deep side parts, either with finger curls that frame the forehead, or try a wet look with lots of gel and neat combing to push back open hair—the way models did at the Iris van Herpen's Paris show. Sleek buns During his couture show, Stéphane Rolland presented structural sleek undos, many embellished at the middle part for drama. The show also had twisted sleek buns with a net veil—all looks that can be achieved easily with a strong gel and a steady hand. Schiaparelli let black lipstick be the star with severe slick-back hair, a lesson in making a minimalist statement. If 'intentionally messy" is your vibe, keep it super sleek in the front, with messy strands at the back like at Chanel's presentation. These looks can easily be taken from a boardroom meeting to a party.

After Moving To India, American Woman Learns Indian Cooking And Turns Vegetarian

Ever wondered what life would be like for an American who moves to India – not just for a vacation, but to actually settle down? Well, a recent video by content creator Kristen Fischer gives us a glimpse. Kristen, who moved to India four years ago, posted a video sharing some of the changes in her life since then. First up? She learned how to cook. 'I have learned to cook many different types of Indian food. I love it and can't get enough. I still have a lot to learn, but I believe I'm off to a good start,' she wrote. She also became a vegetarian. Yes, a big change. 'I became a vegetarian, and it's surprisingly easy here. India offers so much variety in vegetarian food that I don't even think twice about it anymore,' she said. Another shift? No more relying on week-old produce trucked across the country like in the U.S. 'Now I buy fresh and locally sourced food from street vendors,' Kristen shared. And that is not all, the American woman now rides a scooter, has learned Hindi and sends her kids to a private school (which, she noted, is way more affordable here compared to the US). Oh, and here is a fun little detail: Kristen is totally into bargaining at outdoor markets. 'I love the feeling of bargaining prices and getting good deals on things. It's just so fun to me,' she said. Classic desi move, right? View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kristen Fischer (@kristenfischer3) Here is how the internet reacted to the clip. A user wrote, ' interesting. Loved the way you've adapted to our country n you always appreciate n spread goodness.' Another one added, 'I love how you have adapted to Indian Veg. Food, using Public Transport, the Health Spray, clothes and the never ending experiences of bargaining. CHEERS to you for making the transition in India joyfully and absorbing the culture with positivity.' 'Fantastic adaptation to a culture that is is so many ways so different.. Wonderful post,' read a comment. A person said, 'Glad to see all positive changes in you!' What do you think about this video? Tell us in the comments.
