Countless women are walking around in the wrong bra.  By the “wrong bra,” I am talking about band and cup fit and well as size and shape.  Most women assume that they are in a perfectly-fitting bra and never change sizes.  This simply does not make sense.  

            The first rule of thumb when it comes to bra sizing is to be professionally measured early and often.  When breast tissue is developing, when a young woman is going through puberty, it is important that she has a fitted bra that will support her breasts during this period of growth.  Later in life, it becomes equally important to be fitted for a bra because of life changes.  These important landmarks, like pregnancy, significant weight loss or gain and menopause, can all profoundly change breast tissue.  

            Many women are not sure how to measure for their bra fit and assume they are a 34 or 36.  Usually, they are missing the mark, and many women are more narrow in the rib cage than they think.  This accounts for ill-fitting bands that can ride up the middle of the back.  There is a science to bra fit (not to mention, quite an extensive formula) that professionals can help with.  If you must measure yourself, it is easier to ask a friend to help and to consult a professional over the phone.  They can make sure that you get the exact bra size you need to keep your bosoms high and happy.
