Finding Your Best Fit

BRA FIT

The majority of your support should come from a snug fit in the band. Cups should sit smoothly, with no puckering or digging in. Seamed fabric cups provide lift and support via their seams, as well as a more flexible fit in the cups. For your best fit, loose or wrinkled fabric means going down a cup size. Overspilling at the neckline or sides means going up a cup size. Each breast should be fully encased by the cup and the wires should never sit on the breasts. The centre front of the bra (the bridge or the "gore") should sit gently against your ribcage - if it's floating away, try a larger cup size.

Need a tighter band but have the right cup size? Go down a band size and up a letter. Need a looser band but have the right cup size? Go up a band size and down a letter. Have questions? Get in touch, we love to help with this stuff!
