​Using the guide below, you can determine if you have a good fit, or bad fit, and what you can do to correct it.

​BAD FIT

1. Are the straps digging in, are they supporting too much weight?
Solution: The underband may not be giving enough support so a smaller back size may be needed.

2. Is there wrinkling or space at the top and sides of the cup?
Solution: A smaller cup size is needed. 
Is the bust bulging over the cups at the neck edge and/or the underarm?
Solution: A larger cup size is needed.

3. Is the space at the bottom of the cups or is the wire sitting on breast tissue?
Solution: A smaller or larger cup size may be needed.

4. Do the wires stand away from the body at the centre front or sit on breast tissue? Do the cups lift away from the chest when the arms are lifted?Solution: Either a smaller back size and/or a larger cup size are needed.

5. Is the band uncomfortable or too tight?  Is the hook and eye straining?  Is the under band riding up?  
Solution: A larger back size is needed.

GOOD FIT

1. The straps should be comfortable and not dig in. The support comes from the under band.

2. There should be no wrinkling on the cups and no space/ bulging between the breast and the wire.  The wire should sit comfortably and away from breast tissue.

3. The breast should be fully encased by the bra; there should not be space at the top of the cup or bulging of breast tissue.  The wire should sit comfortably encasing the breast. 

4. Wires should sit close to the chest and the bra should stay in place when the arms are lifted.

​5. The under band should be firm, but not uncomfortable and should sit horizontal across the back and not ride up. ​
