Top 5 Tips To Get The Perfect Bra Fit
Your lingerie matters.
.
You wear it all day. You want to feel comfortable and confident in it!
.
Here are my Top 5 Tips To Get The Perfect Fit....
.
.
..
1. Size
2. Band
3. Cups
4. Underwires
5. Straps
First of all you need to know your current size to use as a starting point.
.
As our bodies are always changing from weight gain or weight loss, to natural aging, or maybe pregnancy, breast feeding or cancer treatment, you will not necessarily be the size you were 6 months ago, never mind 10 years ago.
.
To measure yourself with a tape measure you need to take two measurements in inches.
Your band size and your cup size.
- To get your cup size, pop on your most comfortable bra so that your bust is sitting where it would naturally sit in a bra. Then measure around the fullest part of your chest.
- Remove the bra and put the tape measure around your ribcage just under your bust where the band of the bra would go. It should be parallel to the floor and fit close but not too tight so it hurts. Measure in inches, if the number is even this is your band size, if the number is odd, round it up to the next even number and this is your band size.
i.e 30 inches
.
- Then take your band measurement away from the first measurement and the difference is your cup size.
i.e 37 - 30 = 7
0 = AA, 1 = A, 2 = B, 3 =C, 4 = D, 5 = DD, 6 = F, 7 = FF and 8 = G etc.
Therefore in our example you would be a 30FF
.
Or if your first measurement was 38 and your band measurement was 33 (which you would round up to 34 to get an even number).
Then 38 - 34 = 4 which is a D cup.
.
The number and letter equals your bra size which in this example is 34D
.
Now you might be a little surprised. Sometimes we are a completely different size to what we thought we were.
.
I recently did a bra fitting with Sam and this is what she said.
"I came for a bra fitting with Claire thinking I was a 32/34 DD/E and was measured at a 30FF. I was quite shocked. But when I tried a 30FF bra on it fitted perfectly - so stay open-minded!"
Sam, Manchester UK
.
It's probably also helpful to know that when bra's are graded in production they follow a diagonal.
So a 32E cup is actually the same size cup as a 30F.
It's just the band that is different in production.
So Sam wasn't a million miles away from a 32E to a 30FF.
The difference is in the subtleties of the fit which I explain below and which can make all the difference to how a bra feels.
.
Bra sizes will fit differently across brands and styles just as clothing does, so use the measurements as a guide and follow the following steps to know how a bra should fit.
.
Pop on a bra in your newly measured size and look in the mirror.
.
.
2. Your Band
.
The band of the bra should be doing all the work. This is where your support comes from.
.
It should fit snug but it shouldn't feel so tight it's uncomfortable. You should be able to fit a finger between the band and your skin.
.
It is important that it is not loose and baggy as that obviously isn't going to give you any support.
.
The most common thing I used to see in my high street bra fitting days was a band that was really high up on someones back. This means the cup size of the bra is usually too small and the band size is too big.
.
Sometimes all that was needed was to go down a band size and up a cup size and it made a huge difference.
.
Your band should fit parallel to the floor.
.
Also when you buy a bra you should always fit in on the loosest hook.
Then as you wear and wash it, over time as the band stretches a little, you can tighten it. This is why the 3 hooks exist.
.
.
3. Your Cups
.
Once you have your band sorted, it's time to focus on the cups. Obviously there are different styles here depending on how you want the bra to look.
You might want a balconette shape, a plunge shape or a full cup.
.
.
But they should all follow the same rules.
.
Your bust shouldn't be spilling out of the cup or it is too small for you. You should fit comfortably in the cup.
.
.
4. Your Underwires
.
If your bra has wires and you like the look and shape wires give, it's really important to get this right.
.
Wires should never feel like they are digging in to your breast tissue. This is very bad for your health.
.
If the cup is a good fit, the wires should shape your bust and feel comfortable. Have a look to check that the wires are sitting flat on your ribcage and not digging in to your breast tissue.
.
.
5. Your Straps
.
Really you should be able to knock the straps off your shoulders and nothing changes. All the support should be coming from the band. Your straps should never be doing the work and never digging painfully into your shoulders.
.
This is also a common thing to see and why people often think bras are really uncomfortable.
.
.
I hope that was helpful 😊
.
.
When you know how to fit yourself. You will feel much more confident that you are wearing the right size for you.
