Size errors and clues to detect them
1. When the bra girth rides up: This happens when the bra is not completely attached to your body. It is necessary to review and change the size of the contour.
2. When the contour of the bra moves and is loose: It is not sufficiently proportional to the size of the chest. In this case modify the size of the contour.
3. When the straps squeeze and affect the shoulders: The bra cup may be too tight and that's why it hurts your shoulders. It is recommended to order one cup size larger.
4. When the straps are down: It may be due to bra selection or other factors. In the case of selecting a bra with the appropriate straps it can make a difference. Opt for bras that have wider straps, as these tend to provide more support and are less likely to slip. Also, consider choosing a bra with adjustable straps so you can customize the fit to your needs.
5. When the underwire of the bra invades the bust causing discomfort: The underwire size may not be ideal to fully gather the breast. Therefore, it is necessary to change to one more cup size or in more extreme cases up to two more cup sizes.
6. When the ring points directly at your armpit: This happens when the ring goes beyond the chest, which ends up digging into the armpit area, because it is larger than what we need. Therefore, we need to reduce the cup size.
Note: The hoop must reach where our bust ends.
7. When part of the chest is left outside: Sometimes it happens that a part is left outside the bra, this is because one or two more cup sizes are needed (depending on the case).
8. When the bra cup has wrinkles: The reason is that one smaller cup size is required.
