Bra FITTING - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do I know if my bra is
fitting correctly?
The frame and sides should
lie smoothly without cutting into the flesh. The cups should also fit smoothly
without wrinkling. If that happens, try a smaller cup size. If the cups are
cutting into the breast tissue, opt for a larger cup size. The breasts should
fill the cups without overflowing.
How do I put my bra on?
First, slip straps over the shoulders. Then lean forward to fill the cups
fully. Fasten the hook on the middle clasp then stand up and adjust the
straps.
Why is there a relationship
with a proper-fitting bra and overall health?
A poor-fitting bra results in bad posture and can cause back problems and
shoulder and neck pain. A poorly fitted under wire bra, for instance, can harm
the breast tissue itself.
Why are so many women
wearing a bra that doesn't fit them?
In many cases, the salespeople are not adequately trained in proper bra
fitting. In other cases, research has shown that women will opt for
"looking good" over the comfort that a proper fitting bra provides.
How often should I be
fitted for a bra?
Twice a year. The average woman will wear six different bra sizes in her
lifetime due to life changes such as puberty, pregnancy, menopause, weight
fluctuations, the effects of the birth control pill and other transitions.
I have larger-sized
breasts. What kind of bra is best for me?
Women with larger breasts should wear under wire bras, as they help support the
shoulders and back. It's also important that the cup fits properly.
I have very small breasts
and usually don't wear a bra. Is that a good idea?
It is always advisable to wear a bra, as over time, gravity affects even
smaller breasts. Wearing a bra prevents the breasts from spreading to the
sides, which causes widening between them. Wearing a bra also makes clothes
look and fit better.
What range of cup size does
Lovely Lingerie Woodbridge carry?
28AA through 58N.
How do I care for my bra?
To prolong the life of your bra, always wash with a mild detergent. We suggest
Forever New Wash, as it is lycra friendly and will not make the fabric
deteriorate. Washing the bra by hand is best for the garment's longevity, but
if you machine wash, close the back hooks and place the bra in a mesh bag. And
never put the bra in the dryer. It's a sure way to curtail the bra's lifespan.
