What is a three-piece cup?
A three-piece cup is when the cup of the bra is comprised of three pieces of fabric sewn together in a way to push the breast tissue in and upward, giving better shape and support.

Why do I need a three-piece cup?
Seamed three-piece bras are a great option for heavier busts and often provide better fit and lift when compared to their seamless counterparts. The arched transverse seam curves along the bra cup and gives a more rounded shape to the breast tissue while also being very supportive.

What bra should I consider?
The Madison Balcony Bra from Prima Donna is a great example of a three-piece cup. This underwire bra has a sensual balconette bust line and deep cups. Finished with lace that hugs your curves, the check pattern on the lower cups gives a fresh youthful look. This new addition to Beestung is exceptionally comfortable for everyday wear, while still being gorgeous. It is also available in nude and black from band size 30-38 and cup size D-G.

Do the seams show under clothing?
You will find that a three-piece bra will work under about 90% of your wardrobe. Most bra manufacturers make the seams as flat as possible. After a few days wear, the weight of your breast tissue helps to further flatten the seam to give a smooth and invisible look under almost all tops. Under white t-shirts and form fitting clothing, the seam may be slightly visible. Layering with a camisole will help the seam to disappear too.

A Note From The Founder

It is with great pleasure that I am back in Beestung on a part-time basis. Many of Beestung's loyal customers may have noticed my absence. In April I gave birth to my second baby, Oscar. My spouse David, toddler Amelia and myself are thrilled to welcome him to our family.

Thank you to my wonderful manager Amanda and excellent staff, Rachel, Tara and Fallon, for keeping the hive running so smoothly. You can find me in the boutique on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Please drop by and say hello, or better yet come for a bra fitting!

Celebrating our 9th year here on Yonge Street, we are working hard to provide the best lingerie and sleepwear out there. We are constantly developing our bra fitting technique and have just added a number of incredible fitting bras from Marie Jo and Prima Donna. Look for our newsletter outlining these fantastic styles in the coming weeks.

Thank you for your continued support and patronage,

Aimée

Eberjey's Fall Collection Has Arrived

Beestung is brimming with everything Eberjey. The Fall 2015 collection is beyond perfect. We have a great mix of pajamas, chemises, robes and bralettes in gorgeous new styles.

The Colette chemise is a customer favourite and is redone this season in a long chemise. This long gown clings softly in the right places but features a full skirt in super-soft jersey fabric. A dramatically feminine nightgown in a lovely soft steam blue colour.

Pair this elegant piece with its matching long kimono-sleeve robe to achieve the most sophisticated simplicity.

We have tonnes of new Eberjey so pop over to Beestung to see more of the new collection.

We look forward to seeing you,

The Beestung Gals

• LEFT: Eberjey's Everly Racerback bralet and panty is rich with intricate see-through lace, feminine styling, and a jewel-toned hue—the perfect mix of elegance and sex appeal. The racerback bralet has lacy crisscrossed straps that look lovely peeking out from under a tank top
• MIDDLE: Eberjey's Delphine chemise is sexy, elegant, and made for romance. Each piece was designed to flatter and bring out your natural beauty. The chemise has soft cups spun from sheer floral-patterned lace and softly contrasting jersey below. We also have the matching robe, bralet and panty.
• RIGHT: The Colette Racerback bralet and panty from Eberjey is a lightly supportive bra that’s perfect under everything sleeveless. This underpinning looks lovely for a special occasion, but feels good enough to wear every day.

Wearing a Pencil Skirt

Hanky Panky's Retro Thong (left) is a great choice to wear under a medium-weight pencil skirt made of a thicker woven fabric, such as denim or corduroy. Made with Hanky Panky's Signature Lace, this high-waisted style hits just below the naval which provides a smoothing look over the tummy, it also has a comfy thong back so there will be no panty-lines on your bum. If your pencil skirt is made of a thinner or stretch-knit fabric, Hanky Panky's Bare Godiva Hi-Rise Thong (right) is perfect. With the same silhouette as the Retro Thong, this pair is made of a seamless lazer-cut micro-fiber so that absolutely no lines show through under the thinnest of fabrics. They both have a cotton gusset and are breathable.

If you are looking for a little more control in the mid-section, we also carry a seamless high-waisted Commando Control Thong with a similar silhouette of the Hanky Panky Bare Godiva.

Wearing Classic Dress Pants

Dress pants have been known to be unforgiving towards panty-lines. But with a full day at the office you will definitely want to be in your most comfortable pair while sparing no lines or bunching.

 After you try on a pair of Chantelle's Soft Bikinis, you will believe us when we say they are one of the most comfortable panties we carry. They are a seamless panty made of an incredibly smooth and light micro-fiber, and have a cotton gusset. We also carry them in a fuller higher-cut version. You will be happy to wear these panties under your slacks at the office, as well as under a pair of jeans on your day off.

Commando also makes a few great styles of seamless lazer-cut panties that will be unnoticeable and comfy to wear under your dress pants. We carry them in black and nude and in a range of styles so all of our customers can find a style suited for them: Boyshort, Girlshort, CYA (Bikini Brief), and Thong.

Wearing an A-Line or Flared Dress

For these dress silhouettes, opt for a fuller-bottom panty. Hanky Panky's Vikini style is perfect for under a dress. Made with their signature lace, and lined with a cotton gusset you will feel comfortable and pretty as ever. We carry them in a wide range of colours, as well as a high-waisted version the Retro Vikini and a 100% cotton version.

Wearing Jeans

For everyday jeans, many women prefer the Hanky Panky Thong. Fitting
one size (2-12 for the Low Rise, and 4-14 for the Original Rise) with a stretchy soft lace and a cotton
gusset, there is no doubt that they don't live up to their title as the 'World's Most Comfortable Thong'. After trying these, you will be tempted to replace your underwear drawer with a every colour of the Hanky Panky rainbow.

If you prefer a bikini brief under your jeans, we recommend these Cheek 
Frills Briefs. They are soft on the skin, made with a comfortable a breathable Modal and are detailed with stretchy lace. We carry them in a range of colours and neutrals that will work back nicely for your underwear basics and everyday wear.
