For Large Bras When determining bra size? No matter what messages you hear from the media, the truth is that curves are definitely always in fashion. The only problem is finding the right under garments to accentuate those gifts so they look truly amazing.
Unfortunately, most women don't have a clue when it comes to telling whether they are wearing the right size bra or not. Knowing this is even more important for bigger busts because without good support you can cause your body physical discomfort and those curves can end up looking less flattering.
Below you will find some simple steps you can follow to determine the bra size for your body. Then keep reading to find out more about how we can help you put this valuable information to good use.
Is Your Bra The Right Size?
Most women may answer this in the affirmative but they'd actually be wrong. Studies have shown that as much as 90% of the female population is wearing the wrong bra size. While there are a lot of reasons for this, the consequences can be hard to live with.
For example, a bra that is too tight can actually cause those straps to dig into your skin causing discomfort and leaving unsightly marks. Plus, you'll have unflattering breast bulges where your curves are overrunning the cups (and are basically suggesting larger bras may be more suitable). That's not a great picture but it can easily be improved.
On the other hand, if your bra is too loose you could lack the support needed to keep your breasts from putting too much strain on your neck, back, and shoulders. That means you could end up suffering from chronic pain as a result. Also, a bra that is too loose can cause sagging and can make you look five to ten pounds heavier. Thankfully, these issues are also easy enough to rectify.
Checking Your Bra In A Few Easy Steps
For determining bra size, there's no reason to grab the measuring tape or check the bra's label. Here are a few tell tale signs that you might need to start bra searching again very soon.
Is the strap across your back perfectly horizontal? If not, your bra is probably not the right size. It should sit flat against your back and should be parallel to your waistline.
Are the shoulder straps too snug? You can tell easily enough. Take two fingers and try to slide them between your strap and your skin. For a correct fit, your fingers should fit but the strap should press against them firmly. If your fingers don't fit or if the strap doesn't put up a struggle, you need a new bra size.
Where are the wires? Underwire bras are a common choice for women who need a lot of support. Make sure the wires are lying flat against your body. If they are pushing on your breasts or are pushing your breasts apart, this could be uncomfortable and not very attractive.
What about those cups? If your bra is too loose, the fabric of the cup may appear wrinkled (and may even be loose itself). You could pull up on the fabric easily without even grabbing breast tissue. If the bra is too tight, you're going to have your breasts pouring out over the top and out the sides which is not a flattering look especially when it shows through your clothes.

Don't Go Out in a Cheap Bra!
Words of advice from a mom who knowsBy Michelle Hottya
It was a normal day just like any other in the three weeks since my daughter Madelyn was born. Which is to say that every day was a blur of breastfeeding, changing diapers, pacing and rocking, madly rushing through meals, showers and naps before the baby woke up again. Feeling lucky to have such a good baby I peered through the fog of my new life and wondered if I could accomplish something normal today.
I decided to go to the grocery store.
I spent the whole day preparing. During Madelyn's morning nap, I made the shopping list. After her noon feeding, she watched me from the swing as I weeded out six months of expired coupons from my coupon organizer, leaving it nearly empty. After ten minutes of clipping a few new coupons and throwing out the old, Madelyn decided that I had done enough. It was time for her to eat again.
By three o'clock, we were ready to go. I was exhausted. Nevertheless, I forced myself to continue with the plan and got us in the car and to the store.
Madelyn fell asleep in the car, and napped in her car seat atop the shopping cart through the first few aisles. I tried not to spend too much time comparing prices and searching the coupon items, as I tend to in my never-ending struggle to save as many pennies as possible. Everything was fine until we hit the freezer section in the middle of the store.
Upon entering the refrigerated aisles, the cold air awoke Madelyn. I fished a blanket from the diaper bag while piling half a dozen cans of orange juice concentrate into the cart. I found a rattle to keep her occupied, helped her to clasp her little hand around the rattle and hoped this feeble entertainment would keep her occupied through the rest of the store. It was not meant to be.
Madelyn decided to launch into full wail. In flailing her arms, she flung the rattle, nearly hitting an elderly gentleman examining packages of fish sticks. I dashed to pick up the rattle. As I leaned over, I felt my left breast, which was at a reduced state having been fully drained at the last nursing, slip out of the cheap bra I was wearing. Just as the breast came out the top, the disposable breast pad slid out of the bra, down my shirt and hit the floor. As my nipple emerged into the chilly air, protected only by my loose, maternity t-shirt, the sensation triggered a letdown and I felt my milk start to spray.
I had to escape. The nice gentleman, probably not knowing what was happening to me, or maybe knowing exactly what was going on, mildly stated, "Miss, you seem to have dropped something."
I swiped up the rattle and breast pad, muttered, "Excuse me," and raced the cart to the next aisle, which I gratefully noted, was deserted. As I replaced my boob and pad in the cursed flimsy bra, I peered up at the security camera bubble on the ceiling and imagined the security guards in a darkened room giggling their heads off. I ditched my plan to see the rest of the store, headed straight for the checkout and took my baby and groceries home.
Since then, my husband does all the grocery shopping.

Keep Your Breasts Healthy:
How to Buy a Better (More Supportive!) Bra “Eighty percent of the women who walk into my store are wearing the wrong size bra—and they don’t even realize it,” says Dan Koch, owner of Town Shop, a New York City bra-fitting emporium. Here, his expert tips on finding the perfect bra.
Be strap savvyThe thicker the shoulder strap, the more support it gives; this is crucial for full figures (D cup and up). Also, straps should be adjusted to stay put without pressure or cutting.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Get the right cupA bra’s cups should completely contain the breasts and fit smoothly, with no bulges at the top, sides, or bottom. The ideal bra is one with molded cups; they’re the least visible underneath clothes, and they offer the most support.
Don’t ignore seams. They actually provide a lot of support.
Test for fit. Proof of a good fit? When you sit down, the position of your bra doesn’t change.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Look for gapsThe center of the bra (the piece that connects the two cups in the front) should lie flat against the breastbone, without leaving a gap between the torso and the bra. If it protrudes in the center, the bra is too small; try a larger cup size.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Check underwiresThey should relieve shoulder stress from bra straps by adding support below the breast. Also, they should fit to the rib cage and not cut into breast tissue.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Watch your backThe back strap should be completely straight and rest at or below shoulder blades for maximum support. If it’s riding up, the bra is too big. If it feels tight, 75 percent of the time a larger cup size is needed, not a larger bra.
