1. It should fit snugly around. You ought to
be able to fit one or two fingers under the band comferterbly.
If you are pulling down the back strap or pulling up on the shoulder
straps through out the day then the band size (the # part of your
bra size) is too big.
a. Can you fit 1 or 2 fingers comfortably? If yes
then the band is right size.
b. If you're having a hard time putting one finger
under the band then move the hooks to the loosest fitting eyes.
If on the loosest fitting, if it's still tight then
try on one in the next up band size.
c. If the band can easily be pulled away from your
body, or if the band rises up your back, then go down one in the
band size.
2. If you are wearing an underwire bra the wire
that comes up between the breasts should lay flat (or as close
as possible) to your breast bone. If you are wearing a bra w no
underwire, you should have two separate breasts, not just a one
big boob.
3. If the bra is a soft cup bra you shouldn't
have any extra, gapping fabric. If the bra is a molded cup you
shouldn't have any extra room in the cup. Your breast should completely
fill the cup. If it is gapping and the band feels fine then go
down in the cup size.
4. You don't want to be spilling out of the cup.
Not from the top, bottom or sides. If the band feels find then
go up a cup size.
5. If you raise your arms up (do this a few times)
the bra should stay against your body, not lifting up or off.
If this happens try a few things;
a. adjust the shoulder straps by loosing them
b. Pay attention to the band. Is it too tight? Or
too loose? Or just right?
c. If the band is just right, and adjusting the shoulder
straps didn't work then go up a cup size.
6. If have a small frame or are petite, and you
find a bra that fits the band, and you don't quite fill the cup
and you have already tried the next cup size down and it's still
not quite right OR if the you have the "right" size,
the band fits and you fill the cup, but the wire is poking your
underarms, then try a Demi bra. A Demi style bra is different
from a full coverage bra. The Demi has less wire, by about an
inch or more.
7. Try on different styles of bras. Every style
fits and fills different and can "shape" your breast
differently.
8. Don't rush trying on bras. Really pay attention
to how they fit and feel. Go bra shopping when you know you have
the TIME for it. Many women have had to take up to an hour, or
more, trying on several different sizes and styles to find the
bra that gave them the fit and feel they wanted.
9. If your bra fits correctly, it should NOT
be painful or uncomfortable to wear.
