Why Open Tip?
-
Wearing an open tip bra is all about seduction and teasing. Giving your lover a glimpse only, so imagination has to work overtime. The open tip bra reveals the nipples only. Matching an open tip bra to the appropriately sexy outfit is the key to good taste and style, because with the open tip bra it is easy to be too revealing.
Specialty Retail Stores
-
Victoria's Secret (victoriassecret.com) is the store that comes to most people's mind when asked about elegant lingerie but there are others. Faire Frou Frou (fairefroufrou.com), for example, also has a wide selection, although it does not have the location exposure of Victoria's Secret. Torrid (torrid.com) is a specialty boutique for plus-sized lingerie with stores across the U.S. By shopping in a specialty lingerie store, women have access to the experience of the staff, are able to shop in an intimate setting, have a wider selection of lingerie, and are able to better order specialty items. In addition to the small specialty intimate apparel stores, some of the larger department stores have lingerie departments that sell open-cup bras --- Nordstrom's (nordstrom.com), Saks Fifth Avenue (saksfifthavenue.com), and Bloomingdales (bloomingdales.com) all have specialty items.
