Bra Fit
and
Style Guide

Bulging out?

If your cup size is too small, your bust will bulge over the top and sides. The top of the cup should lie totally flat on your bust. If in doubt, try on a t-shirt over your bra, as this will make any bulging more obvious.

Solution: Try a bigger cup size

Wires digging in?

The bra wire should sit behind your breast, not on it. If your bra fits correctly the wire will encase the bust completely and not dig in uncomfortably.

Solution: Try a bigger cup size

Wires lifting away from the body?

If the wires lift away from your body in the middle, or are sitting on top of your breast at all, then your cup size is too small.

Solution: Try a bigger cup size

Back band riding too high?

If your underband rides up, it's too big. It should sit horizontally level across you back. Test this by pulling it away from your body - it shouldn't stretch more than two inches.

Solution: Try a smaller back size

Straps digging in?

Your underband should provide most of the support, so if your straps are digging in it's a sign that the back size is too big.

Solution: Try a smaller back size

Cups are baggy or creased?

Your bra should fit perfectly without any gaps. If there is space in the cups around your bust, then the cup is too big.

Solution: Try a smaller cup size

Lean forward

This will allow your breasts to fall naturally into the bra cups and give the best support.

Fasten the clasp

It’s ideal for the clasps to be fastened on the loosest setting. This will allow room for the bra to be tightened over time, as the elastic stretches.

Lift underwires

As you straighten up, lift the underwires up and into the crease of your under bust before fastening the bra.

Scoop each breast

Lift each breast into the bra’s cups so that your nipple is in the centre of each cup.

Adjust straps

Adjust your shoulder straps to ensure you get the right support.
