1. Cup: Bra cups should never be baggy. If they are, try going down a cup size. If you notice creasing just around the nipple area, you may have to go down a band size to pull the fabric tighter.
2. Underwire: The underwire should lie flat against your breastbone. If it rises up, you need to go up a cup size. The other side of the underwire should sit flat against your ribcage without digging into the tissue of your breast.
3. Straps: Did you know most of the support in your bra comes from the band? Well, it should. If your straps dig into your shoulders, it’s because your band size is too big.
4. Band: The band should run in a straight line across your back. If it rises up at the back, you need to go down a band size.
5. Comfort: Ultimately, your bra should be comfortable. Try it on under clothing to see how it looks and walk around a bit in it to see how it feels when you’re on the move
