WHAT MAKES A FIT, PERFECT

1. Check the Band – Your Main Support

The band provides nearly 80% of your bra’s support.

It should sit straight across your back, not ride up.

It should feel snug but comfortable — you should be able to slide two fingers underneath, not more.

If it moves up when you raise your arms, it’s too loose.

A well-fitting band stays firm and level all day.

2. Check the Cups – No Gaps, No Spills

Your breasts should sit completely inside the cups.

No bulging on the top or sides

No empty space or wrinkling inside the cups

The fabric should lie smooth and flat over the breast

The cups should hold your breasts gently, without squeezing or leaving space.

3. Check the Centre – The Middle Panel Should Sit Flat

The small piece of fabric between the cups (called the centre gore) should:

Rest flat against your chest

Not float or press painfully into the skin

This shows the cups and band are working together correctly.

4. Check the Straps – Support, Not Pressure

Straps should only provide light support.

They should not dig into your shoulders

They should not slip off frequently

You should fit one finger comfortably under each strap

If straps leave deep marks, the band may be too loose or the size incorrect.

5. Check the Underwire or Base – It Should Follow Your Natural Shape

If your bra has underwires:

The wire should sit around the breast, not on it

It should rest comfortably against the ribcage

No poking, pinching, or pressing into the breast tissue

Proper wires support from underneath without pain.

6. Move & Test – Comfort Through the Day Matters

Try these quick movements:

Raise your arms

Bend forward

Take a deep breath

Your bra should:

Stay in place

Keep your breasts supported

Feel comfortable, not restrictive

A good bra should feel natural and secure, even when you move.
