The web site offers fitting and sizing instructions based both on your cup size and the length of your torso.

The right bra will improve a woman's posture, often resulting in a longer torso and slimmer, more shaped appearance.

Some of these bras are your typical undergarments, while others cover not only your breasts, but some of your torso as well.

Ill-fitting strapless bras are prone to working their way down your torso throughout a night out.

The look can be considered sexier because it adds length to the torso.

Additionally, corsets provide a sliming effect to the torso, further enhancing the appearance of your assets.

They show off your torso without exposing everything, layer easily together or with other shirts, and pair well with everything from matching panties to sweat pants for a lazy morning around the house.

Sassybax is one brand that comes in regular and torso length bras.

This is an ultra-sheer body shaping pantyhose with a waist that goes up to the bra line, taking off extra flesh from your entire torso without the pain of a corset or bustier.

It will slim the torso and, like a corset, improve the posture by helping hold back the shoulders (which also creates a slimming effect).

A bustier will flatter a curvy shape, act as a push-up piece, and also look great on anyone with a longer torso.

You'll find that some bustiers are rather short in the torso, and that means they won't flatter underneath clothes unless layered with another foundation garment.

There's no need to wear those uncomfortable underwire bras that can dig into your torso with the Innerwire technology.

All you have to do is use a measuring tape for two areas of your torso, and then enter your measurements.
