You've tried on almost every bra in the store, but nothing seems to fit right. Now you're starting to wonder if there really is a perfect bra size for you — one that will make any bra you like magically fit you. There's one thing we want everyone who wears a bra to know:It's time to stop looking for “the perfect bra size” because…
A perfect bra size is a myth
There is no such thing as a 'perfect bra size'. A perfect bra size is a myth. It does not exist. For example, if you wear a 36 C, some brands may require a 34 CC or 36 CC. This is normal. It is true that there are inconsistencies in the fit from brand to brand. Test yourself? Grab two bras in the same size but in two different styles from your lingerie collection. Try them on and note the differences in fit and how they sit. Sometimes the differences are subtle, while sometimes it's obvious that you need to size up or down from your normal size to get a better fit.
There is no universal standard for fit
It's no surprise that bras are strategically designed designs with many components. Depending on the manufacturing technique, they can be made using a sewing machine or sewn completely by hand. Lingerie brands use size, grading, patterns and many other resources to create their products. While they want their 32D to fit a customer wearing another brand's 32D, there is no universal standard when it comes to bras. Simply put, if you try different styles and get familiar with more brands, you'll find that you don't wear the same bra size with every brand.
Remember:your bra size is a guideline, not a rule
When was the last time you took two sizes into the fitting room? You probably already do that for jeans, but what about bras? Sometimes the size you normally wear is not the best size in a style or brand for you. Using your bra size as a guideline opens up your options and allows you to find the right size for you in the bras you like. While it may seem difficult to try on multiple bras, we firmly believe that it is better to choose the right size the first time and avoid a trip back to the store than to take a gamble on a bra that you think that it fits .
Final thoughts
The next time you enter the fitting room, bring more than one bra size. Take the bra size you normally wear, a bra that is one cup size larger and a bra that is one band size smaller. Follow these helpful tips to assess the fit of each bra and decide which one is the clear winner. You may be surprised at the size you take home.
