How Fitting

Here's how to tell if a particular style fits.

Bend forward at the waist, then slip on the bra and hook it. This ensures your breasts are completely in the cups.

Adjust the band so the back is level with the front.

Make sure the bra is not too tight by sliding two fingers underneath the straps and under the band.

Fix falling straps by first tightening the band, then shortening the straps.

Choose a bra that fits perfectly when secured on the outermost hook. As the bra loosens over time, make the band taut by moving toward the tightest hook.

Put on a close-fitting shirt over the bra. If the cups pucker or your breasts bulge, you’re not wearing the correct size.

Look at yourself sideways in a mirror. Your breasts should sit midway between your shoulders and elbows. If not, you need a more supportive and better-fitting bra.

If you need to go down a cup size for fit, go up one band size (for example, 34C to 36B) and vice versa.
