You may be wondering why I said bra fitting for the bras we stock but every lingerie brand fits a bit differently, just because you wear a certain size in one brand doesn't mean you're that size in every bra. A woman's bra size changes at least six times over the course of her life (not including the obvious reasons like pregnancy and weight gain/loss). So it is important you check the fit of your bra regularly.
Here are some basic bra fitting tips to help you decide if the bra you have on fits:
The most common error women make when buying bras is getting too big of a back band. If the band is loose, it rides up in the back, causing the front of your bra to drag down. Saggy cleavage = not hot, plus if you want to keeps your boobs looking perky you need to keep them supported. An oversized band also creates faux back fat because it moves around rather than lying flat, creating bumps and bulges where you want smooth and sexy. When buying a new bra try to get a snug fit of the band on the loosest hook it has as it will slacken in time as the fabric naturally gives, allowing you to tighten the back band as it stretches.
The band carries 85 % of the weight of your breasts, so it should be firm, and horizontal across your frame. Slide a couple of fingers under the band and pull it away from your body you should be able to move it no more than an inch. When looking in the mirror at a side view of yourself, you want the bottom of the band in the back to be parallel to the underside of your breasts in the front. If it isn’t try loosening your straps, if this doesn’t work then you need a smaller back size.
Push against the underwire on the side of your bra, right under your armpit. You want it to press into your ribs, not delicate breast tissue, if it is poking you in the side of the boob, increase your cup. The central gore of the bra (between the two cups where the underwires meet) should be flush against your sternum. If it's popping out from your chest, that's another sign you need a bigger cup so try the bra with a bigger cup size. To check it’s laying flat try putting two fingers under the panel, if you can with ease, then it’s too loose and you need a smaller back size. If however your boobs are naturally close together there may not be enough room for the centre to lay flat, instead try a plunging style where the wires are closer together.
When looking at the silhouette of your boobs you want a smooth rounded line from the bottom to the top. If you notice any wrinkling, that means the cups are too big. If your boobs are spilling over the top, bottom, or sides, you need to go up a cup size because the four boobed look is sexy on no-one.
Many women carry way too much of the weight of their breasts in their shoulders. The straps should only have about 15% of the weight, they should be just long enough to keep your bra in place without slipping of, so lengthen those straps. Your band should be what's supporting the majority of the load.
Bending forward 90 degrees at the waist when putting on your bra will do wonders for your cleavage, all of your breast tissue falls naturally into the cups when you do this so your boobs will look their best and you will see if your bra truly fits. Or you could reach a hand into the cup and scoop up your boob in to make sure it's fully in the cup.
