The Most Common Bra-Fitting Mistake
by Janine Kruze
I'm often asked: what is the most common mistake women buy when fitting or buying bras? While there are many common mistakes, ranging from the way women wash their bras to the way women adjust their straps, I have to say that the part of bra-wearing that is most often misunderstood is cup size and band size.
I see this particularly with fuller-figured women who are shopping for plus-size bras. Because many lingerie companies stop producing bras at a D or DD cup size, women with full figures buy a bigger band size to compensate for a cup size that is too small.
A true fit for a bra accommodates bust size in the cup and torso width, below the bust, in the band. A bra that fits well will have a snug (but not too tight) band against the ribcage below the bust. This band will provide support that prevents sagging, strap stretching and a poorly shaped bust.
When women opt for a bigger band size in lieu of the proper cup size, they lose much of the support that is important for a properly supported and shaped figure (and with it, they often wrongly lose self esteem and good body image.) The right way to choose a bra size is to purchase the properly sized cup and the properly sized band. Although these cup sizes will not be available at all lingerie stores, there are some boutiques, particularly online, that can provide the same lacy, sexy lingerie in all sizes and carry a full line of rel=nofollow plus size bras. Next time you shop for lingerie, find a store that carries the size you need to look and feel your best!
