Wear the Right Bra Size

BAND

The position of the band should be horizontal all the way around and should sit mid-back.The centre panel at the front should sit flat against your breastbone.

You should comfortably be able to run a finger underneath the band.

If the band rides up the back, try a band size down and cup size up.

It should feel snug without rubbing. Bear in mind if you have been wearing the wrong bra size for a while, you may be more aware of the band at first when you try the right size on. However in 10 minutes or so it will be perfectly comfortable.


HOOKS

Try your bra on using the first (nearest) hook to ensure correct back size. The other hooks are to be used when the bra loses elasticity.

If you are pregnant, do the opposite. Start on the tightest hook and let out as you grow.

 

STRAPS

If your straps dig in, the band is too loose - try a size smaller. 

If the straps fall down, the band is too tight - try a band size larger.

 

CUPS

Lift your breast up and place it into the cup.

If there is overspill, try the next cup size up.

If there are creases or gaps in the cup, try a band size down.

Move your arms around. If you have to readjust your bra afterwards, it's not the right size!

Also bear in mind that when it comes to your bra, it is FIT and not size that matters, so don't just assume you are for example a 36C in every brand.
