Finding the perfect bra can be challenging for many individuals. Cup irregularities, uncomfortable underwire, and fit issues are common problems that often indicate an incorrect bra size. Surprisingly, approximately 80% of bra wearers do not wear the correct size for their body.
Kenzie, a former luxury lingerie professional, shared transformative bra fitting tips on TikTok to help people find their ideal undergarment. Drawing from her professional training, she outlined three critical aspects of proper bra fitting.
First, the band fit is paramount. The band should sit parallel around the back and should not stretch more than two inches when pulled. Counterintuitively, when trying on a new bra, attach it to the loosest hook. This approach accommodates the inevitable stretching of the fabric over time.
Second, cup size directly correlates with band size. As band size changes, cup size must adjust accordingly. For every band size reduction, one should increase the cup size. Telltale signs of improper cup sizing include breast spillage, side overflow, uncomfortable underwire, sagging, or gaping. Notably, bra straps are not the primary support mechanism; cups and bands provide the essential structural support.
Third, breast shape significantly influences bra selection. With over 25 bra styles available, most retail stores offer only five. Your breast size, position, and shape may be better suited to styles like balconette or plunge bras. The right bra style can provide optimal lift, smoothness, comfort, and support.
TikTok users enthusiastically received these insights, with many expressing gratitude for the practical advice. One commenter specifically sought guidance on cup fitting, which Kenzie addressed by recommending style variations.
Understanding these nuanced fitting principles can dramatically improve comfort and appearance, transforming the often frustrating bra-shopping experience.
