Barely There® Brings More Magic to Women's Wardrobes With the Amazing Bandini

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., Aug. 23, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Barely There's® Bandini™, the seamless convertible bra featuring CustomFlex Fit technology, is giving women more dressing flexibility with the introduction of 12 new colors, among which are Gravel Grey, Deep Kiss Pink and Dewberry Henna Flower.  The brand is also celebrating the new lineup with a sweepstakes for a three-day trip to New York City.

Since launching in 2010, the Bandini has proven to be a favorite in women's wardrobes all-year round, selling more than 1 million between the regular and foam cup styles.  The Bandini is designed to offer complete versatility; the seamless garment with patented easy to wear straps can be positioned in a number of different ways suitable for wearing with all of the season's hottest trends, taking the wearer from strapless to one-shoulder tops -- in the blink of an eye.

"For many women, deciding what to wear can be a big enough battle without having to worry about  straps showing through and lack of proper support in that fun fashionable dress," said Tricia Bouras, Barely There's marketing director.  "The Barely There Bandini provides the perfect solution in a stylish, supportive bra that is the ultimate wardrobe accessory for summer and beyond."

Part of the secret behind the Bandini's incredible comfort and versatility lies in Barely There's CustomFlex Fit technology, fabric that shapes to fit each wearer individually.  Barely There's CustomFlex Fit and Smart Sizes make shopping for your style even easier, allowing women to find the perfect-fitting Bandini bra by selecting one of just five sizes -- from XS to XL.

To celebrate the arrival of the versatile new options, the Amazing Bandini Sweepstakes will allow four lucky women to win a magical three-day trip to New York.  Now through Aug. 31, women can enter to win this once-in-a-lifetime prize by simply using their smart phone to scan the QR Code found on a variety of Bandini ads, product packaging and promotional items, or go directly to www.barelythere.com/amazingbandini to access the online entry form, with three lucky winners to be chosen.
