1.The bra should be quite firm around the body, and ideally fitted on the 3rd eye adjustment.
2.Shoulder straps loosened or tightened as necessary.
3.Breasts well enclosed within the cup.
4.Center front going back reasonably well to chest wall.
5.Snug fit at neck and underarm edges (not too tight and not gaping)
Here are some solutions to common bra issues:
Problem: Back Rides Up
Solution: The hook needs to be tightened. This could happen
after a few months of wearing that favorite bra, or it could mean you need to
choose a smaller band size.
Problem: Shoulder straps fall down
Solution: If adjusting them fails, try going down a size.
Your band should lay level across your back. If the angle of your shoulders are
sloped you may want to try a T-back style bra.
Problem:
Cups are wrinkly or gaping
Solution: If the bra is new, try getting into the bra by
bending at your waist and let your breasts fall into the cups. If there is
still extra fabric you may need to go down a band size.
Problem: Front Gap
Solution: The center front of the bra should lay flush
against your sternum. If this does not happen the bra may be either too small
or the wrong style. Different brands are shaped and sized very differently so don’t
get discouraged. You may simply need to try another brand.
Problem: Spillage
Solution: If you are busting out of the cup anywhere you
need to either move up a cup size or pic a shape that offers more coverage on
the sides and top. Demi cups are only half cups, they are not mean for
coverage.
Problem: Lack of Support
Solution: The one place that give you the most support in
your bra is the bridge, or center. This is very important. A plunge bra is meant for special occasion outfits,
not every day wear for support. Your bridge length should get bigger with your
size (ie: the bridge length for a D cup is going to be longer than an A cup). Another area that gives support is the band
and clasp size. A larger band/clasp (three or more) gives you more support.
Happy bra fitting!
