Lovebras Bra Fitting Guide
It can be difficult for curvier girls to find bras that are gorgeous, fit correctly and are comfortable. At Lovebras we have a huge range of different styles and brands, but to ensure you receive the perfect fit, be sure to read through our handy fitting guide.
If you get your fit right you should see an improvement in posture, comfort and confidence!
- Being "measured" for a bra is not the same as being "fitted".
Tape measures provide a rough guide, but you only know if a bra fits by trying it on! Don't squeeze your boobs into a bra that isn't perfect.
- Different brands and styles all fit slightly differently.
Never assume that if you wear a Freya bra in a 30G you will also wear a Panache in a 30G. You may need to try and few ranges to see which is best for your own shape!
- Buying online can be daunting but our fitting tips will help you discover your perfect size and style.
- We offer a No Quibble Money Back Guarantee to help you find the right size.
Watch our fitting videos below to find your perfect fit. It's so easy, you won't believe the transformation!
Lovebras Bra Fitting Guide
WHAT YOUR BRA SHOULD LOOK LIKE?
TRYING ON TIPS
Start by fastening it on its loosest hook. You will be able to tighten the bra if it starts to give in the back when you've worn it a few times.
Adjust the shoulder straps to ensure that they are not too loose. You may need to adjust your breasts to make sure they are in the cups properly.
If the back feels too tight then you should try a size up (e.g. 34 to a 36)
If the cups are too small then try a cup size larger (e.g. B to a C)
REMEMBER: Not all Bras are the same!
Different brands
and styles will vary even if they are the same size.
Don't be surprised
if you need a totally different size than the bra you are wearing!
WHY DOESN’T MY BRA FIT PROPERLY?
The most common mistake is wearing a size too big around the back and too small in the cup. E.g. a 36D instead of a 34DD. Listed below are the common symptoms of a bad fitting bra and the solutions:
I am bulging over the top or sides of the cup.
The cup size is too small. Your breasts should fit within the cups. Try at least one cup size bigger.
My bra rides up my back.
The back size is too big. Try a least one back size smaller. You should have a snug fitting horizontal band running around your back.
The wires stick out at the front or dig in under my arms.
The cup size is too small and not fitting around your breast properly. Try a larger cup size.
The straps are digging into my shoulders.
The back size is too big. The main support should be coming from the strap around your back. If the back is not tight enough the straps will take all the strain. Try a smaller back size.
The cups are wrinkly.
The cup size is too big. You are not filling the cups properly and should try a smaller cup size.
