Advantage of the underwire bra
I noticed that many female competitors have never tried on a posing suit with an underwire bra. They don't know what they've been missing! Very few ready-to-wear posing suits feature underwire bras. On the other hand, almost all of my clients request an underwire bra. So what's the big deal?
Well, an underwire bra in a posing suit works just like an expensive bra—it holds everything in place and provides comfort and a perfect fit. Unless you have firm, perfect-shape implants, a regular triangle, or bikini top will not provide you with enough support, especially if you're on stage moving (which I know you will be). I've heard so many stories of bra malfunctions on stage—you don't want to be in this position.
Another advantage of an underwire bra is that it can make any size bust look great. For those with a smaller breast size, an underwire bra allows an increase of up to 2 full cup sizes, while keeping a natural shape. Try doing it with a bikini bra without it looking awkward.
Don't get me wrong, in certain situations and with certain bodies, the bikini bra will work just fine, maybe even better than an underwire bra (bodybuilders). However, in most cases, underwire bra is the way to go. Here are illustrations of both types:
