Does your bust feel suffocated in your bra?
Are you falling out of your bra?
Are you just uncomfortable and dread putting on a bra?
A huge amount of girls and women are wearing the wrong size bra and if you said yes to the above questions then the chances are you are one of those females! With National bra fitting week and my own personal experience getting fitting, I now experience the benefits of wearing the right sized bra! Did you know that a piece of underwear that fits to perfection will make you appear slimmer and curvier, instead of ‘four boobs on the front and four boobs on the back?’ Your clothes will look amazing and your confidence will soar!
I would really recommend that you take a visit to your nearest lingerie shop and get fitted by a professional; it only takes five minutes that leads to months of comfort. I was dragged to Bravissimo by a good friend of mine, insisting that I was a lot larger than I thought. The idea of taking my top off in front of a stranger was a little unnerving but it was fine! Friendly professionals greeted us; I was taken into the beautiful dressing rooms and instantly was at ease. The fitter looked at the bra I was wearing and disappeared for a short while before returning with some delicate bras for me to try. They fitted perfectly; the correct size was three cup sizes bigger and two band sizes smaller, the difference in comfort was unbelievable.
But if you are a girl who is not comfortable with the thought of someone fitting you, here are some top tips to ensure that you are teamed up with the perfect bra for you.
• You should only be able to fit one finger between the band and your body.
• You should always do the bra up and secure it on the last hook.
• If you are wearing an under wired bra, ensure that the wire is flat against your body.
• The wire should not be digging into your skin under your arms.
• To make sure the cups are the correct size: bend over, hold your bra underneath the cups and shake your bust slightly from side to side to ensure you are in securely. This will show whether you need to go up a cup size or not.
• The band should be parallel with the bottom of the bra cup. If it rises up then the band is too large.
The smaller the band size, the larger the cup size so for example if you are wearing a 34C (the cups are too small and the band is too big) your new bra size may be 32D.
Don’t forget though that some brands or styles will differ so if you are struggling to decide which one is most suitable, don’t be afraid to ask one of the fitters. Besides that is what they are there for.
Do you think you look sexier with a cleavage? So many girls wear the wrong sized bra thinking that their breasts look fuller due to the cleavage created from the small bra. But girls, there are bras out there that you can wear correctly and safely but are deliverable designed to give you a natural looking cleavage. Don’t harm your health for the way you look, it is really not worth it. It has been found that wrongly sized bras can seriously damage breast tissue especially breasts that are still developing. It can also cause back pain.
Ok, now you’re fitted with the prefect size, you feel more confident and happy with the purchase of a new beautiful bra. Lingerie is such a weakness for us! Wear your new bra for a couple of weeks to ensure it is comfortable and that you have picked the right size and style that suits you. If you now forget that you are wearing a bra altogether, then result! You can now go out and buy beautiful lingerie that is kind to your body and fill up that underwear drawer of yours
Happy fitting and enjoy shopping for a new you!
