The Perfect Bra – It’s All in the Fit
Whether it's a sleeveless top in the summer, a blouse for the office, or a loose sweater for a cool evening, you need the perfect bra to wear with each of your tops.

It is very important to wear a properly fitting bra not only for comfort, but also for your health. A properly fitting bra can alleviate strain on the back and shoulders as well as keeping the breast tissue from breaking down. Breast tissue does not repair itself; if not supported properly the breast tissue will break down and lose its firmness.

The Perfect Bra - It’s All in the Measuring

Band Measurement:
Measure under your arms, high on your back, around the top of your chest. If your measurement is an even number, then this is your band size. If your measurement is an odd number, add 1 inch to determine your correct band size.

Cup Measurement:
With your bra on, measure loosely around the fullest part of your bust. Subtract your band measurement from your cup measurement. Each inch is a cup size. For example: if your band measurement is 34” and your cup measurement is 36”, then the difference between these measurements is two inches, and you would wear a B-cup.

Now you’re ready to buy some bras!

The Perfect Bra - Loose Sweaters
When wearing big, oversized sweaters, it’s often easy to lose your figure. To achieve a distinguished bustling when wearing loose or bulky sweaters, look for bra styles that lift and project instead of flatten or round out your breasts.

The Perfect Bra - Knits
Knits tend to be clingy and show every seam, line or wrinkle of your undergarments. Seamless bras are a great option because they do not reveal any lines or seams when wearing knits.

The Perfect Bra - Plunging Necklines
When you wear your low-cut/plunging necklines, you want to get a little extra lift and cleavage while also making sure your bra doesn’t show. One solution is to select a demi-cup style. To get that little extra cleavage, you should try a pushup bra. If you’re not concerned with adding extra cleavage and you just want to make sure your bra plunges as low as your top, look for a low-cut demi bra which provides a smooth, sleek look under clothes. Look for a bra that comes with straps that can be adjusted for halter, criss-cross and an everyday wide-set.

The Perfect Bra - Strapless Tops
Strapless bras come in a variety of styles and sizes and each offers a very unique strapless option. You can choose everything from bandeaus to convertible strapless to minimizer strapless to padded strapless to seamless strapless.

The Perfect Bra - Tight Tops

Many fashions are now tending toward body clinging fabrics like microfiber, spandex and lycra. Solutions range from lined seamless bras to padded seamless bras. Both lined and padded seamless bras provide a round smooth look, which is perfect when wearing these clingy fabrics.

The Perfect Bra - Blouses that Gap
To prevent your blouses from pulling or gapping in front, try a minimizer bra. Minimizers can reduce the bustling by one to two inches, and helps to eliminate gapping by giving you a rounded shape versus a pointed look.

The Perfect Bra - Backless Tops
Whether you’re wearing a formal backless gown or a casual open back top, finding a bra that doesn’t show and offers support can be challenging. There are two options for going backless. You can either wear a longline strapless-backless bra, or you can try a convertible backless bra, depending on whether or not you can wear shoulder straps. Another alternative is to try an adhesive bra with underwire support.

The Perfect Bra - Sleeveless Styles
When wearing a sleeveless dress or top, the worst thing is to be constantly fighting with your bra straps to keep them from showing. T-back bras set the straps in and you no longer have to worry about them showing on your shoulder or sliding down your arm. When wearing sleeveless tops you will want to try a T-back bra.

The Perfect Bra - Halter Tops
Halter style tops & gowns expose so much of the shoulder and back that finding a bra can be difficult. For the halter look try either a convertible or backless convertible bra. Convertible bras allow you the flexibility of removing or crisscrossing the shoulder straps to conceal them under your clothing.

The Perfect Bra – Cleavage
A great way to show more cleavage is to wear a plunging bra, or a padded push-up bra. If you are looking for a bra to wear with a low cut neckline and want a sexy plunging bra, try a plunging seamless underwire bra.

The Perfect Bra - A More Distinct Waistline
The right bra can make your waistline look slimmer! A longer midriff and a more distinct waistline can be achieved by wearing a bra that provides great lift and projection. When purchasing a bra, look for a style with a prominent seam for projection and support.
