Are You Fitting Comfortably?

Bra Fitting Guide

The importance of a well-fitting bra cannot be underestimated, for reasons of appearance, comfort, and health. The size of your breasts is likely to change following pregnancy, weight gain or loss. It is advisable to be measured, every two years, preferably a week before your period.

Reasons for changes in bra sizes

Do you know your correct bra size? Here’s when to double check that your bra still fits.

When you lose or gain weight. If your dress size has changed, don’t forget about your bra size – it’s even more sensitive to weight gain or lose fluctuations.

If your body shape changes. Even if your weight remains the same, your proportions can change – if you start a new gym routine, for example.

During your monthly cycle. It’s possible to gain a whole cup size when you’re menstruating, and you might need a different bra for those days when your breasts are quite tender – you don’t want to squeeze them into a too-small bra.

When you’re pregnant. Your breasts will start to swell in the first weeks of pregnancy and then again when you start to breastfeed. When you stop breastfeeding, they’ll change size yet again.

As you lose muscle tone and elasticity in your skin – as you age, for example, or when you stop breastfeeding. You might need to try a different style of bra – a half cup, say, instead of a full cup if you have lost muscle tone in the upper half of the bust.

Our qualified bra specialists will be happy to help you find your correct size and advise on comfort and fit.
