Let's dive in and find you the perfect bra fit!
Tips For When You Are In Between Bra Sizes
Understand Your Bra Measurements
First and foremost, ensure that your measurements are accurate. Measure your band size and bust size correctly. Sometimes, slight variations in how you measure can affect the size you end up with. You may find DeBra's Bra Fitting Guide helpful.
Try Sister Sizes
Sister sizes are an excellent solution for those who feel their band is a little too firm or loose. If your current size doesn’t fit perfectly, try its sister size. For example, if you’re a 12G, but the band feels too firm, you might find a better fit in the 14FF or if you’re band is feeling slightly too loose, you may find a better fit in the 10GG. The band and cup volume will be proportionate, giving you a comfortable alternative.
Look for Bras with Adjustable Features
Bras with adjustable straps and multiple hook-and-eye closures can provide a customised fit, accommodating slight size fluctuations. Adjustable features allow you to tighten or loosen the bra as needed, providing a better fit between sizes.
Opt for Stretch Fabric
Bras made with stretch fabric are more forgiving and can accommodate variations in cup size. They provide a snug fit without causing discomfort, making them ideal for those who experience size changes throughout the month.
Consider Padded or Moulded Bras
Padded or moulded bras can help fill out the cup if you are shy of filling a full cup size. They offer a smooth silhouette and additional lift, making your bust appear fuller and better fitted in the bra.
Explore Different Bra Styles
Different bra styles can fit differently, even if they are the same size. For example, balconette bras have a different fit than plunge bras, or the brand Panache differs from the Elomi brand. Trying various styles can help you find one that accommodates your unique shape and size variations.
Check the Bra's Construction
Bras with side support, wider straps, and a firm band can offer better support and a more comfortable fit for in-between sizes. These elements help distribute breast tissue evenly and prevent spillage or gaps.
