Linda Becker, aka the 'bra lady,' who has been in the business of bras for more than 20 years, says that too often women end up wearing a bigger band size instead of getting a deeper cup. The solution is a tighter, snugger band that will ensure a firm base for an adequate lift, giving a younger and thinner look.
Another common mistake women often make with their bra is to wear it too high on their torso, completely throwing off their measurements. The solution: wear the bra leveled front to back so that your breasts are midway between your shoulders and your elbows. Also wearing a smaller band size bra lower on your back will eliminate the appearance of back fat.
Something important to remember when buying a bra is to make sure it fits on the loosest hook so that even after several wears the bra remains firm and provides the lift. It is also important to not wear the same bra two days in a row as the elastic needs time to regain its original shape after a day's wear. Always hand wash bras and hang them to dry after reshaping them.
A good bra fit is not only important for aesthetic reasons such as a younger and slimmer look, it is also important for good breast health and other health reasons like breast feeding, reconstructive breast surgery and osteoporosis.
