For The Perfect Fit Is your Bra Cup the right size?

The Cup should be smooth against your breast.

If you don't fill out the cups, you need a smaller size. If you are "overflowing" in the cups, you need a larger cup size or a style with a fuller cup design. Note: The edges of the cups should also lie flat against your breast. If there is a gap (especially with padded bras), you should go down a cup size. The Center panel can tell you something about your Cup Size.

The center panel should lay flat against your breast bone: If it does not, this could be a sign that your cup size is too small, or the panel is not large enough to accommodate the separation between your breasts.

The bottom of the bra in the front and back should be parallel to the floor or slightly lower in the back: The lower edge of the band should anchor below the shoulder blades. For women that need support remember… The lower the back fits, the better the support.

A finger can be run under the front of the band: Your bra should be snug, but not too tight. If it is tight, you need a larger band size or a looser hook placement. Remember the band should be on the tightest hook position for proper fitting.

Still not the perfect fit? Consider an alteration. We alter our clothes for a better fit, why not a bra?

Are you having trouble with your Bra? What should you do?
Symptom:	Bra cups pucker
Problem:	Your cup size is too large
Solution:	Go down one cup size (e.g.: from a D cup to a C cup) or tighten your bra straps.

Symptom:	Breasts are "bulging" out over the top of the bra.
Problem:	Cup size is either too small or cut too low for the size of your breasts.
Solution:	Try going up a cup size (e.g.: from a B cup to a C cup) or choose a bra style which has more fabric in the cup.

Symptom:	One cup fits fine, the other cup puckers.
Problem:	One breast is larger than the other (very common).
Solution:	Most women have one breast larger than the other. Most of the time the difference is not noticeable, however sometimes it is. If the difference is significant, it can be easily minimized. You can purchase a bra with stretch fabric in the cup. The size difference will then not be noticeable. You can also try a bra with fiberfill or light padding which will hide the size difference. Also, try adjusting the straps so that the larger breast cup is looser than the smaller breast cup. And, you can purchase a padded bra with removable "paddding," and take the padding out of the side with the larger breast.
