HOW TO CHOOSE A WELL
FITTING BRA IN 6 STEPS
【STEP 1】TRY A BRA
Select the bra you would like in your size.
Stand up straight and adjust your breasts with your hands to make sure they are in the cups properly.

Fasten the bra on the loosest hook. This means that when it stretches after you have worn it for awhile,
you can tighten it later by using the other hooks.

【STEP 2】 THE BAND
Look at the band that goes around your body. This should provide most of the support, not the shoulder straps.
The band that runs around your body should sit horizontally just below your shoulder blades and not ride up at the back at all.
It should feel firm and snug, and resist when you try to pull it away. If it is at all loose, try the next band size down.
【STEP 3】THE CUPS
If your breasts bulge over the top of the cups or at the sides of the bra, the cup size is again too small.
If the cups are wrinkled, then they are too big.
The cups should fully contain your breasts and create a smooth line where the top of the cups meets your breasts.
【STEP 4】COMPENSATE FOR CHANGES TO SIZE
Cup sizes are not consistent. - the cup size of a 36B will be bigger than the cup size of a 34B.
It is important to remember that if you go down a back size, you will need to compensate by increasing a cup size.
And remember, all brands cut differently, so one brand's 34B may be bigger or smaller than another.
It is always worth being fit for each bra you try to ensure it is suited to your shape and desired look.
【STEP 5】TRY ON UNDER CLOTHING
Put your top on over the bra to see how it looks under your clothing.
Look at your profile in the mirror from the side to make sure that you are happy with the overall silhouette the bra gives you.
【STEP 6】MOVE AROUND
Move your arms and stretch as you would everyday to check that the bra will give you the support you need.
Once you've decided that you are satisfied and every aspect is to your liking, you have found your perfect bra.
