Are you aware that 8 out of 10 women are wearing the wrong sized bra? Many women say that the wires dig in, and that the straps fall off their shoulders, or their bra is riding up at the back. These complaints are the most common amongst women wearing an ill fitting bra.

In my experience fitting with a tape measure is only accurate on an A-D bust size up to 16, after this it is very rare that you get the exact fit, also when choosing a bra different brands, styles, colours and fabrics can all add to a difference in size. In store we fit you with the bra you wish to purchase to ensure each type of bra you purchase is an exact fit to ensure comfort and support.


Tip 1. Cups too small...
If your bust is 'spilling out' at the top, sides or bottom of your bra, the cup size is too small.
This can be unflattering particularly under tight clothes. Try at least one cup size bigger.

Tip 2 Back too big...If a bra is riding up at the back, it's too big around the body and won't be supporting your
breasts properly. If you drop the back size make sure you go up one cup size when ordering as this is equivilent to current size.
I.E. If you were a 16dd and the cup is a perfect fit however it is riding up at the back you would try a 14e.

Tip 3 The cups are wrinkly, particularly at top and sides.
This is usually a sign that the cup size is too big so you may want to try one cup size smaller. However, if the wrinkling is only at the tip of the cup, this could be an indication that the cup size is too small because your breast cannot fit into the cups properly – in this instance, try one cup size bigger.

Tip 4.The wires stick out at the front or dig in under my arms. When the wires stick out or dig in like this, it’s often because the cup size it too small and your breast are forcing the bra away from your body. Try a cup size bigger so that wires lie flat against your body and fully encase your breasts. Or with regards to under the arm, try a bra that isn’t so high.

Every BODY is different so there are different styles and shapes of bras for different breast shapes. When visiting DeBra's, our staff have an extensive knowledge of all products available and the best style to personally suit you.
