Two-thirds of women wear bras that don't fit right. Here's what to check for the perfect fit.
Is your bra fitting properly? Take our quick test >>
Breast overflow
Bulging near your armpits or breasts spilling over the cups? Your bra is likely too small.
Straps
Even after adjusting, do they slip down or dig into your shoulders? That's a sign of the wrong size.
Underwires
They should hug the edges of your breasts without poking your chest. The center gore must lie flat against your body—even when you raise your arms.
Bra band
It should sit level across your front and back, without riding up. Fasten on the loosest hook; if it stretches more than two centimeters, it's too loose.
Band and cup size
Many opt for a band that's too big and cups too small—like 80B when 75C fits better. Experiment with sizes; different styles suit different shapes.
