PROPER BRA = CONFIDENCE

Hi! My first (proper) bra was from creaseys a few months ago, and before that I only wore crop tops, if you’re thinking of getting a padded bra, you should! You feel SO much more supported!

So some tips in case anybody wants them. . . . . Ahahaha. - underwire bras do not stunt your growth, can be super sore if it's your first bra. -a quick check for bra tightness is make sure its not bulging out of the sides or middle (me and my mom call it side boob - bend over and make sure it's not riding up your back -make sure they support you from underneath
