Huonosti istuvia rintaliivejä mediassa 3 /Badly fitted bras in the media part 3

En voinut olla jatkamatta sarjaa huonosti istuvista rintaliiveistä mediassa, kun näin Iida Ketolan uudet rintaliivikuvat Iltalehdessä. Tarkoitukseni ei ole haukkua sarjassa esiintyviä naisia, vaan käsitellä sitä kuinka laajasti näemme vääränkokoisia rintaliivejä. Tällaiset kuvat vaikuttavat siihen, mitä ajattelemme "normaalisti" istuvista liiveistä.

Iltalehti
Näettehän, miten kuvassa liivien kaarituet ovat rintojen alapuolelta aivan irti rintakehästä? Tämä on merkki liian löysästä ympäryksestä. Lisäksi kupit ovat aivan liian pienet: ne peittävät vain puolet rinnoista ja saavat jopa silikonirintoihin aikaiseksi tuplatissi-efektin.

Seuraava kuva on mielestäni vielä pahempi:

Iltalehti
Jälleen kaarituet ovat aivan irti ihosta ja kuppi on useita kokoja liian pieni. Veikkaukseni onkin, että Iida tarvitsisi koon 60J saadakseen parhaan tuen rinnoilleen (kyllä, myös silikonirinnat kaipaavat tukea!)

In English: I had no choice but to keep writing this series as there are so badly fitted bras in the media. This is an important issue since it effects on our perception how a bra should fit!


Here you can see how a Finnish celebrity Iida Ketola has been fitted in a bad bra for her. The wires don't sit against her ribcage – a sign of a too big band. The band is propably riding up at the back, too. The cups are so small that even her augmented, very dense looking breasts are sporting a quadraboob. That's something that doesn't happen very easily with silicone breasts that have little own breast tissue. 


I'm guessing she'd need a 28J or something like that to support her breasts. Unlike commonly believed, augmented breasts need support, too!

  1. See it all the time with Hollywood celebs and it drives me crazy, too! In fact I just wrote about Fergie and Snooki — both like to wear two bras at once! And they advise other people to do the same. Argh!

    1. Two bras at the same time...? What the h*ck for when there's fitting bras out there? Seriously, can't celebrities use google? Like, start with "big bras"...?

      I saw these pictures as well yesterday and immediately thought that these should be added to the No-no-gallery ("Ei näin" in finnish :) ). But considering how poor the level of professionalism is in most finnish lingerie stores/departments, I'm not saying this would be solely Iida's mistake. I'm blaming the rather narrow-minded stylists and completely brainless assistants who actually decide what the celebrity is going to wear. If they don't know/care to know that there are bras up to EU P cup, how can they demand above-Es from the lingerie stores that suply the photoshoot clothes? I've never seen a finnish womens' magazine where they would show a large-busted model wearing a fitting bra. I laugh derisively every time I see a headline "Beautiful spring bras for every size!" since in reality they're showing certain large brands' newest models which come in 34-38 B-F and that's it. There's seldom anything for the A-cadre or the mammoth pack (that's us, the over-G-cups... I overheard this comment some years ago from two lingerie department saleswomen unpacking new bras in a rather well-known deparment store in Helsinki. Nice, huh?).

    2. Yes, this makes me angry too. However, I don't think the celebrities should be blamed: for instance, in this photoshoot Finnish lingerie retailer Funky Lady had provided the pink bra. If they truly want to think of themselves as lingerie experts, they should NEVER give a wrong size bra to a photoshoot. In my opinion, this just proves the crappy state Finnish bra fitting is in.

      As long as Funky Lady and other Finnish lingerie shops do this kind of bad job in promoting bras, I refuse buying bras from them. I suggest all other bra-aware women out there do the same. We (and celebrities too) deserve better!

  2. Ja sama linja jatkuu: http://www.iltalehti.fi/viihde/2012040615423480_vi.shtml eivätpä istu Satunkaan rintaliivit. Huoh! Yritä tässä opettaa ihmisille millaiset ritaliivien kuuluu olla, kun mediassa kellään ei sellaisia ole päällä :/

  3. Ugh, this also annoys me SO much, have you seen some of the fits that I've shown with Brazilian bras on my site? AHHHH!!!

    Oh, and I'd guess she's probably even more than a 28J. She looks larger than me. So maybe even a 28K? Although it's hard to tell because the bras fit so badly.

    1. Yeah, I've seen those pictures on your blog... Unfortunately!

      She could very well be a 28K! I'm not an expert on estimating when it comes to "small" bands since they are so far from my size. I think you and other women who use smaller bands know this a lot better than me. So thanks for your comment! <3

  4. Hyvä blogi sulla! Liiviongelmien kanssa kamppailen itsekin, nyt sulta tuli pari uutta merkkivinkkiä, joita kokeilla:) Suurta pohdintaa tällä hetkellä itselleni aiheuttaa se, että missä kannattaisi omia vanhoja epäsopivia liivejään laittaa kiertoon? Koot ovat uk 36H alaspäin.

  5. Samaa pohdin minäkin, eli miten kierrättää omia virheostoksia. Muutama käytännössä käyttämättömät liivit pyörivät tilaa viemässä. Ostin muuten juuri kolmet uudet liivit ja kaikki oli sopivii <3
