'Americas Next Top Model' Toccara Jones Talks Breast Reduction Rumors, Fabulous Bra Shaper Collection [PHOTO]
Toccara Jones, who proudly flaunted her assets in a bright pink undergarment at The VMA luncheon on Saturday in Brooklyn, N.Y., created her own clothing line to provide women with their dream bra.
For years, the former America's Next Top Model contestant was encouraged by fashion industry moguls to have a breast reduction because they told her that she was disproportionate. But, the busty model, who claims to wear a size G bra, refused.
"Look at them. They look good," she told EnStars pointing to her chest. "I just need the right stuff and so it was my mission to put the right stuff out there."
Since she spent years trying to find the perfect bra to wear, the 32-year-old created Toccara's Fabulous Bra Shaper to prevent other women from having a similar problem.
"We need to feel good from the inside out," the Ohio native said. "And it has to be with our foundation because our [undergarments] make our clothes look the proper way."
The plus-size model recalled her difficulties as a student at Stivers School for the Arts in Dayton, Ohio, where she wasn't able to participate in many school activities, including dance and cheerleading, because of her lack of proper chest support.
"It affected me a lot," she said. "It wasn't until about 21 that I found a proper bra and I was so thankful."
Her collection, which will be available in 2014, targets women with a large bust and provides them with a "nice natural shape." Jones, who defined her style as "sleek and classic," also pointed out that the bra is an appealing racerback.
"I wanted to make a bra that was going to be affordable, especially for kids and young ladies who were in school and want to be active because there was no way for me to find a place," she said. "So if you're a G-cup, an F-cup, an E-cup, a J-cup...come see me baby."
