Hello, beautiful reader! I have a secret to share: did you know that 80% of women are wearing the wrong bra size? I learned this startling fact during my first job out of college at a luxury lingerie company. There, I received comprehensive training on how to fit women properly into bras. Today, I’ll share that wisdom with you. Let’s dive into the world of perfect fit bras and boost our confidence together.

The Importance of the Bra Band

First things first, the fit of the bra band is paramount when it comes to finding your perfect bra. Situated parallel around the small of your back, the bra band shouldn’t be pulled out more than two inches. Many women misunderstand the sizing of the band, often choosing a looser fit due to concerns about discomfort. However, keep in mind that bras stretch out over time.

When trying on a bra for the first time, always attach it to the loosest hook, not the tightest. This will ensure a snug yet comfortable fit that will accommodate the natural stretchiness of the bra material.

Deciphering Cup Size

The fit of your bra cup is directly influenced by your band size. As your band size changes, so does your cup size. Remember, for every band size that you go down, you should go up in a cup size.

If your breasts are spilling over your bra, coming out of the sides, or your underwire isn’t comfortable, then the cups are probably too small. If your bra is sagging, puckering, or even has gaps, then your cup size is too big.

Contrary to popular belief, your straps are not there for support. It’s your cups and your band that are providing the essential support in your bra.

Finding Your Cup Shape

Did you know there are over 25 different bra styles? Unfortunately, most popular stores only carry five. You might be wearing a t-shirt bra right now, but your breast size, position, and shape might be better fitted for a balonette or a plunge bra.

Wearing the proper bra shape can make you look more lifted, smoother, and most importantly, you’ll feel more comfortable and supported.

Final Thoughts

Finding the right bra size can be a journey, but it’s one well worth taking for the sake of comfort, support, and confidence. Remember, you’re not just looking for a bra—you’re seeking a piece of clothing that enhances your unique beauty and empowers your individual fashion style.

80% of you watching this video are wearing the wrong bra size and I’m gonna tell you why. My first job out of college was at a luxury lingerie company where we were trained on how to properly fit women into bras, and I’m gonna teach you everything I’ve learned from that training. #1 the fit of the bra band is the most important. The fit of the band should fit parallel around the small of your back and you shouldn’t be able to pull it out more than two inches. A lot of women get the sizing of the band completely wrong because they’re concerned about the snug fit. But over time your bra is going to stretch out so you wanna make sure that when you’re trying on a bra for the first time that you’re attaching it to the loosest hook, not the tightest. #2 cup size. The fit of your bra cup is influenced by your band size. So as your band size changes so does your cup size. So for every band size that you go down you should be going up in a cup size. If your breasts are spilling over your bra, coming out of the sides, or your underwire isn’t comfortable then the cups are probably too small. If your bra is sagging, puckering, or even has gaps then your cup size is too big. And this may come as a surprise but your straps are not there for support. It’s your cups and your band that are providing the support in your bra. #3 your cup shape really matters. There are over 25 different bra styles and most popular stores only carry five. Which means that you may be wearing a t shirt bra right now but actually your breast size, breast position, and breast shape are better fitted for a balonette or a plunge bra. And by wearing the proper bra shape you’ll look more lifted, more smooth, but most importantly you’ll feel more comfortable and more supported.
