Bra Fitting Posts

Great bra fit means being comfortable and supported in your bra: band not riding up, gore flush with your body, straps stay on and breasts all in the cups. To get this fit some women need to wear a band size that is smaller than their underbust measurement, others need to wear a band size bigger than their underbust measurement and many will just need to wear the same size as their underbust measurement. This all depends on your body shape, height, the squidginess of your torso and personal preference. The posts below are all about what great bra fit looks like and how to get it (I suggest you start with the first one!)
