Get Ready for The Best Fit: Buy Bra the Right Way
Whether you’re an A-cup, a double J, you can never underestimate the importance of a well fitted bra. Buying the right size bra isn’t just about making sure it fits, but also investing in your cover and comfort. Choosing the wrong size can cause an array of problems from back pain to the potential health hazard of ill fitting clasps. Fortunately, with the right advice and a few tips, it makes it even easier to get the perfect fit every time.
Start by being informed. Learn the lingo of bras and cup sizes so you can better communicate with size guides and shop assistants. Make sure you understand the label information such as cup size, straps and band size (i.e. in UK sizing it would be 30, 32, 34 etc). Dont assume fit based on your dress size bras come in all shapes and sizes and do not fit all bodies the same.
Take your shape into consideration. Bras are made for different breast shapes, not just cup size. If your breasts are conical shaped, then your best option is a full cup; if your breasts are rounder, then go for a balconette. If you have asymmetrical breasts, then look for a style with removable padding to even out the shape. For full busted women, make sure the cup size is large enough to keep everything supported, while avoiding unnecessary back pain.
Look to the wardrobe. Instead of size, consider the occasion. What clothing will the bra be worn with? A strapless number for a backless dress or a plunge fit for low-cut tops? Invest in some mainstays like daily wear, everyday t-shirt bras, plus bridal lingerie, cosy pyjamas and maternity bras.
For the full-busted lady, don’t be tempted to go up a size this will provide too much fabric in the cup and cause the straps to slip. Look for styles with a u-shaped back, stretch cups and wider bands to give more support. When wearing lower tops, go for a full coverage style rather than a plunge to avoid spillage.
The time of day matters too. Shopping for bras at your most ‘fullest’ will give you the clearest idea of your cup size. At night-time, when your breasts are at their most swollen, it’s much easier to determine a good fit.
Finally, don’t just take the word of the size guide; be prepared to try multiple options and sizes to get your perfect fit. Before you buy, put the bra on and feel you are comfortable and adequately supported. Pay attention to the back too; a fitting bra should be comfortably snug and not cutting into the armpits.
For the curvaceous among us, support is important to avoid back pain a heavier fabric, wider back wings and thicker straps are key. Look for traditional designs such as a full cup with side support as well as bust-friendly materials such as cotton and modal. A well-structured frame always fares better than a flimsy one.
When it comes to nightwear, the soft moves to the sexy. Goodbye sensible bras Hello lacy wonders! Make sure to keep the support regardless of the style. Look for balconette cuts with flexible straps for comfort and styles with wide straps to reduce back pain. Go wireless if you like many staples now come without the underwire making them more comfortable for a full night’s wear.
Haven’t found your fit yet? Investigate brands that specialise in larger cup sizes. There are labels out there that offer support and beauty up to a certain point. During winter, switch out silk and lace for a thermal bra. Keep your collection cosy with a thicker band and heavier cup, designed to keep your assets warm and snug.
Bras have become a form of self-expression something we can mix up and make our own. Re-explore the power of illustration, graphics and lace. Diverse designs help to flatter your body with extra attention to panels, seams, fabric strength and construction. Send the message that your style matters – that comfort and confidence are king and that you deserve a high-quality full cup bra.
Stretch your boundaries and explore different options: why not try a glossy, a sheer, or a combination of a sheer and glossy material? And don’t forget the statement pieces – the bright colours, the bold adornments and the vibrant patterns – they all make for a fashionable bra-ready look. A sports bra for extra support and flexibility? Sure! A bright red balconette that’s sure to bring the fire with a special outfit? Go for it!
Calculate the wardrobe needs while buying a new bra. Start by figuring out the main set of bras basic colors, everyday prints and seasonal colors. Think about overalls, formalwear and summer wear ranging from lacy bras to strapless ones. Whether you’re looking for a bra with just the right amount of lift and coverage, a deep plunge or a balconette style, make sure your bra is the springboard to your look.
Let’s not forget about the luxurious lingerie too. We wear lingerie not just to be fashionable and stylish, but also for the pleasure of feeling attractive and sexy.
