Could anyone (Kelly maybe?) clarify as to why some of these are bra blunders? The Brittany pic is obvious but the rest I'm not so sure....my ignorance as a man is showing through

The guy in the Sun who wrote this rubbish needs to learn the difference between bikinis and bras, thats a good starter.
As for the actual bras on show I do not see much wrong apart from the first picture of course.. lol. |

Jordan's picture has a slight double-boob effect (look at the cup next to her dark hair, that's how I saw it), but I'm not sure she should go up a whole cup size, because then it's be too big - she seems to be in that nebulous in-between area.
It's hard to see from the picture, but it looks like Jade's center gore isn't flush against her breastbone, as it should be. She might need to go up a cup.
The other ones, I can't see much of a problem, actually. I mean, the styles aren't always ones I'd prefer, but I can't see anything wrong with the fit of the bra, really. Still, it's hard to tell from the photos. There are a ton of celebrity bra blunders, though! I'm actually working on an article about that to come out in a week or two- saddest of all, it's often the lingerie models who wear the most ill-fitting bras, in the very lingerie catalogs!

Hehehe that's so ironic. I remember you mentioned the Victoria's Secret models awhile back....Heidi Klum was it? They really should be setting a good example. It's also funny that Jordan's range of bras don't actually fit her. But I guess most people don't have your sharp eye so they can get away with it.
Anyways, here is another example. Not so much ill-fitting bra but just kinda strange outfit from Cheryl Cole. |

Wow. That outfit is just....wow.
VS is actually one of the worst offenders of ill-fitting bras in their pictures. It's horrible. They have the cups too small so the models get super cleavage (because there isn't enough room for their breasts and they're squished inward) and their bands are always too big (I suspect it's because they have these buxom models who don't actually fit in the VS size range). It doesn't help that no one I know has ever gotten a correct fitting at VS! I try to tell my friends that their bras shouldn't fit like the ones in the VS catalogs, but no one believes me because they've grown up with these inaccurate images.
VS does have really pretty stuff if you know how to size yourself, and I respect that they're always "on the edge" and developing styles, but they are absolutely horrible at promoting good bra fittings!
Okay....I'll get off my soapbox now
