The Essential Guide to Finding Your Perfect Fit

Finding the perfect bra fit can feel like an impossible task—but it doesn’t have to be. With the right information and a few key checks, you can ensure your bra offers the support, comfort, and confidence you deserve. Here’s a clear and practical approach to getting the right fit.
1. Start with the Band – Your Main Source of Support
Many people are surprised to learn that the band provides around 80% of a bra’s support. A well-fitting band should feel firm but comfortable and sit level all the way around your body.
Here’s how to tell if your band fits properly:
It should fit snugly, allowing room for the elastic to stretch over time.
If the band rides up your back, it’s likely too big.
You should only be able to pull the band about two inches away from your body.
Tip: If your straps are digging in or your breasts don’t feel supported, it’s often a sign that your band is too loose.
2. Check the Cups – No Spilling or Gaping
Next, examine how your breasts sit in the cups. A properly fitting cup will encase your breast tissue fully without cutting in or leaving space.
Here’s what to look for:
If your breasts are spilling over the top or sides, try a larger cup size.
If there’s gaping or wrinkling in the fabric, the cup may be too big.
Tip: It’s also worth noting that breast asymmetry is very common. If one side is larger, fit to the larger breast for comfort.
3. Move Around – Your Bra Should Move With You
Once you've checked everything in front of the mirror, try moving around. Lift your arms, twist your torso, bend forward. Your bra should stay in place and continue to feel supportive throughout the day—not just when you’re standing still.
