No self-respecting Parisian woman skimps when it comes to lingerie. What makes French lingerie so exquisite? Silk and lace, two products for which France has a long history. Sadly, the Lyons silk industry has drastically shrunk (with only one remaining manufacturer of top quality silk).

Likewise, the lace-making in Normandy (Alencon) has greatly diminished. Nevertheless, these are the two essential elements of great lingerie. There are different types of French intimate apparel. But one of the most notable which should be paid attention to is a French bra.
Countour Bra
A bra is considered an essential undergarment for the vast majority of women in the industrialized world. Besides their functional purpose, bras also serve as an item of lingerie, which is often viewed more as fashion or decorative rather than strictly utilitarian. No one really knows when a woman should start wearing this type of undergarment.
Molded Half Cup Bra
Some women start wearing bras at a very young age around 8 or 9 depending on the time when their breasts begin to develop. Young girls usually start off with what is known as the “baby bra”. This is the type of bra specially designed for young girls with developing breasts. As these girls grow older their bra needs also change.
Shelf Bra
The word bra is derived from the French word brassiere. The word brassiere is derived from the French word bras, which means arm. The first usage for the word brassiere was for a soldier’s arm guard, or shield. Later the word came to be referred to the soldier’s breastplate, then to a woman’s corset.
Uplift Bra
The modern French meaning for the word brassiere refers to an undershirt or baby’s vest. The French word for bra is actually soutien-gorge, or a bosom support. Women’s French bras come in various forms like under wired or push up bras, sports bras and non-wire bras.
Balconnet Triangle Bra
Whatever the type may be, a brassiere should be able to fully support the breasts. Some may find a tight bra uncomfortable but wearing a very loose bra is not a good thing too since it will not be able to support the bust. The key to finding a comfortable bra is to know your bra size. Remember that the bust size can change so it would be best to measure it before buying one.
Demi Bra
French bra styles vary from purely functional, that is support and comfort, to stylish, with bra styles designed to spark passion and romance. French bras are for every woman who simply wants to look and feel fabulous. The supremely sexy look of the French Bra is exceptional, to say the least.
Push-up Bra
The adventurous French designers provide super-smooth lines to let clothing look its best, so the woman will too. Molded cups shape any woman, yet never pinch or push. Its plunge neckline takes advantage of that molding to give unbelievable, and fully natural-looking cleavage.
