Bra Basics

**BlakByuty** · 05-12-2003, 03:36 PM

1. The underband around your body should be firm but comfortable. You should be able to run a finger under the band. If it's too tight, you need a larger size or a wider hook placement.

2. The back and front of the bra should be parallel to the floor or slightly lower in the back. The lower edge of the band should anchor between the shoulder blades. The lower the back fits, the better the support.

3. The center panel should lie down against the breastbone, not bridge away from the body. If it doesn't, your cup size could be too small, or the panel is not large enough to accommodate the separation between your breasts.

4. Underwires should lie flat against your rib cage, enclosing your breasts without rubbing or digging into the soft tissue or your armpit. If they bulge, you probably need a larger size cup.

5. It should have a smooth outline, without bulging at the top or the sizes. The cups should not pucker or wrinkle.

6. It should support the weight of your breasts mainly with the broadband and the cups, NOT the shoulder straps.

7. Check your silhouette. The bust should be midway between the top of the shoulder and the bend of the elbow to create a silhouette of balanced proportions.

Great advice Blak, one more thing that has really worked for me is getting a professional bra fitting to start with. Just go into Vicky's Sicky's (or Marks and Spencer if you are in England) and ask them for a fitting, someone (who knows what they are doing) will helep you to measure and size ya "assests"

Its really helpful and you can confirm that you've been wearing the right size or change if you haven't.
