Bra Fitting Guide

It is estimated that 70-80% of women are wearing the wrong size of bra. This startling figure seems less surprising when we consider the changes that age, pregnancy, exercise, weight gain and loss, and other factors can have on the body's size and shape. In many cases, specialist fitting is the only way to ascertain the correct bra size. If your dress size has changed, or if you have lost or gained weight, there is every chance that your bra size has changed too.

Wearing the wrong size bra gives poor support which can lead to back and shoulder pain, and causes lumps and bumps to appear where they shouldn't, along with chafing skin and general discomfort.

So, if you have noticed the band of a bra riding up your back, or the straps digging into your shoulders, or that your bra is not giving the support it should, you may be wearing the wrong size. You will be amazed how much better you look and feel in the correct sized bra. With the improved posture and comfort of your new bra, your figure and your outerwear will be shown off to their best effect.
