Richard and Marianne Gimble, Co-Owners of Va Bien International, announced that the U.S. Patent Office has put its stamp on the next big thing in lingerie - the ultra-Lift bra.
"Traditional bras do not offer enough support, and will droop down over the underwire," says Ms. Gimble. "Gravity is always working against us. The effect is compounded for the full-figured woman, for whom ultra-Lift is particularly effective."
The ultra-Lift patented design features soft cups with three flexible 'Magic Fingers' molded between thin layers of foam. The fingers make any bustline 'droop-proof' with comfort - up to a G cup. This powerful result is so far beyond the traditional bra, it has been called 'The Support Revolution'.
Due to ultra-Lift's now confirmed retail success, the collection has grown to 10 styles, and is sold globally to major department and specialty stores, internet and catalogue accounts, and major shopping channels. Sales have been so successful that Va Bien has invested in a new factory to satisfy the increased demand.
The new factory is located in the Dominican Republic, where Va Bien has followed its core values of supporting women by partnering with Esperanza International USA, a microfinance institution. Together, Va Bien and Esperanza work to empower local impoverished women with small loans and business training. Visit
