When shopping for luxury ladies underwear, it’s vital that you know your correct bra size so that you can go about your day feeling comfortable and properly supported, no matter what you’re doing.
It’s also important to remember that you will need to go for bra fittings at relatively regular intervals, as your body shape and size is sure to change over the years and what may have been right for you in the past may well no longer be a good fit.
The fitting itself is usually quick and easy – all you need to do is remove any top layers so you’re in just a bra or vest to allow your measurer to size you up and see how your current bra fits. You’ll then be given a few sample bras to try on, with your measurer adjusting the straps to work out which cup and back size you need.
This all helps to ensure that you’re wearing the best bra for your body shape and it might be wise to go for a fitting once a year at least so you know you’re getting it right.
A poorly fitted bra can actually cause backache, breathing problems and also possibly change the way you stand and hold yourself, so if you haven’t been to a fitting for a while, you may want to book yourself an appointment.
Symptoms of an ill-fitting bra include a garment that rides up at the back (which means your band size is too big and your cup size usually too small), dimples in the bra cups (which mean they’re too big) and shoulder straps cutting into your shoulders. This could be because your cup size is too small, as well as your band size.
