Bra Measuring
Advice
|
| Those in the know reckon that 80% of us are wearing the
wrong size bra, with most of us wearing a back size that is too big and a cup
size that is too small. Not only does this mean that we aren’t supporting
our breasts in the right way (which could lead to unsightly saggy boobs in the
not so distant future, as well as back and neck ache) but in addition, if you
get fitted into a correctly fitting bra, it can totally transform your figure,
putting the curves back in the right places and changing your silhouette
dramatically. So, we would strongly recommend getting yourself down to one of
High Street stores and getting yourself measured professionally. Most of you
will be pleasantly surprised - it’s great to learn that you’re
actually slimmer round your rib cage and bigger up front than you thought.
However, this isn’t a one-off activity - we recommend that you go back for
a fitting every 6 months or so. Our bodies are constantly changing so it’s
important that we keep monitoring our bra size on an ongoing basis. "Can I
measure myself?" we hear some of you ask....well, sorry girls, but we
wouldn’t recommend it. It’s difficult to measure yourself accurately,
so you could still end up buying the wrong size. The consultants in our stores
are specially trained to provide you with an accurate fit - and remember, they
see hundreds of boobs a day, so there’s no need to be embarrassed - they
will always be discreet, professional and will work hard to put you at ease.

- Problem: The band at the back of the bra
rides up.
- Explanation: The band of the bra is too big
- Solution: You need a bra with a smaller back
size.

armpit.

under wire should encase the breast not dig into it.

size.
|
- Problem: Indents in the
shoulder where the straps have dug in.
- Explanation: Your bra is
too big in the back and not big enough in the cup, this is causing you to pull
the straps up too tight for support.

which is smaller in the back & bigger in the cup.
|

of under wire.

small and so causes breast to overspill.

size, until you have a smooth silhouette.

| There
are lots of different shapes and styles of bras around these days and sometimes
it is difficult to know which one’s best for you. We’ve listed the
main shapes available, and the different benefits each one has. You’ll
probably find you have different needs depending on what occasion the bra is
for – a strapless bra is not the most suitable bra for running around at
work all day, but perfect under that glamorous evening dress. |

Full Cup Bra
- If you wear a larger cup size then a full
cup bra will be your lingerie drawer staple. This is the most comfortable and
supportive bra of them all and will be what you turn to day in and day out.
This bra provides a firm fit to keep your bust supported which reduces sagging
in years to come. Despite the obvious benefits, in the past these bras have had
a reputation as being a bit frumpy but we hope that we have helped to change
this perception as we have improved them by providing them in flattering styles
and pretty fabrics and colours which are more feminine than ever before.
|
Balcony Bra
- This
is probably the most popular style of bra, as it’s great for everyday wear
as well as feeling special enough for a night out too. A balcony shape is
designed to keep you uplifted, but also aims to look as natural as possible. It
also provides firm support for enhanced comfort which is why it’s so
perfect for everyday wear – we might not often admit it, but if
you’re wearing a bra all day, comfort’s going to come fairly high on
the priority list for most of us. The lower cut shape and wide set straps give
this bra a more seductive look making it the perfect bra to take you from day
to night in comfort and style.
|
Smooth Cup Bra
- Your lingerie should enhance your outerwear
by giving you a smooth silhouette but this can be difficult when wearing a
close fitting t-shirt. Lace and seams create unsightly lumps and bumps that do
nothing to enhance your figure. Developments in technology now enable us to
create moulded bras which are totally seam free yet still able to give you the
support you need to feel uplifted and secure. For discreet lingerie that really
does its jobs, it doesn’t come better than a moulded smooth cup
bra.
|
Strapless Bra
- This bra shape is essential if you like to
wear strappy tops and dresses that show off your shoulders. Unsightly bra
straps can ruin this look so invest in a strapless bra that fits snugly around
the back to keep it in place and makes you feel secure. We wouldn’t
recommend that you wear this bra everyday as its not as supportive as a bra
with straps, but it is great for those summer evenings when you want to wear
something strappy but thought you never could because of your bust size. This
bra could totally transform your wardrobe!
