Getting the right fit

According to lingerie boffins, a staggering 80% of us are suffering in bras that don’t fit properly. In most cases, the main problems are a back size that’s too big and a cup size that’s too small. As well depriving your bust of the support it needs, bad-fitting bras also mean you don’t show off your figure at its best.

The right bra can put curves back in all the right places and transform your silhouette. So how can you keep in perfect shape?

Get measured professionally. Most of you will be pleasantly surprised to learn that you’re actually slimmer around your rib cage and bigger in the bust than you actually thought.

Keep it up. Get yourself measured every six months or so. Our bodies are constantly changing, so it’s important to keep track of your bra size.

Don’t DIY. We’d never recommend that you try and measure yourself. It’s very difficult and you could waste time and money buying a bra that just doesn’t fit. Leave it to the professionals. Consultants in departments stores and boutiques are specially trained to be discreet and put you at ease.
