There should not be any space underneath the cups at the root of the breast or any gaping across the top half of the cup.īefore you change the cup size, please make sure that your breasts are completely “dropped” into the cups. In extreme cases wearing cups that are too small will give the appearance of four breasts. This applies even when wearing push-up or low cut bras. The whole breast should also fit neatly into the cup with no excess of flesh showing on the sides of the cup or spilling out over top. The cups of a bra, especially when underwired should go right around the contour of the breast sitting flat against your ribs without digging into the breast tissue. Try a bigger under bust size, and consider trying a cup size smaller. If the straps, after being adjusted, are slipping down your shoulders it might mean that the under bust band is too small.Try a smaller under bust size and a cup size bigger. If the straps are digging into your shoulder it might be a sign that the under bust band is too big and not giving enough support.They should sit parallel or slightly V-shaped on the back. Please choose a smaller under bust size and go up a cup size. If the band rides up at the back it is probably too big.

This will allow the bra to be tightened as the under bust band starts to get slightly looser after you’ve worn it a few times. When buying a new bra, fasten it on the first/outermost row of hooks.

You don’t want to have back pain because of wearing the wrong bra size, do you? Look in the mirror and check that the band is at the same level all around your body. This part of the bra provides the majority of the support so it is important that it fits firmly, parallel to the cups.
