So you've just gotten dressed and the top that used to look good on you, just isn't sitting right... you toss it to the floor and scour the closet for something else; that too ends up looking odd and suddenly the thought of an after work shopping spree pops into your head BUT, instead of more clothes, ever thought that what you really might need is a new bra!?!?
Believe it or not, approximately 80-85% of women are wearing the wrong bra size according to stats I've come across. And while you might be quick to remedy the situation with a simple tightening of the straps (haven't we all tried this?!), at the end of the day, it's not enough to make your bra fit 'just right'. Chances are, you're simply wearing the wrong bra (be it size, style or both).
A properly fitted bra can make the world of difference in your appearance, how you feel about yourself and how you carry yourself. Throughout our lives, our bosoms will change in size and shape for a variety of reasons, so it's good practice to check measurements regularly (at least once a year, if not twice) to ensure you're buying something that lifts, separates and keeps them pups in their place!
Bear in mind that bra-sizing isn't an exact affair (getting professionally fitted is always a helpful option) but the trick is to know your measurement and use it as a base for when you are shopping around as different styles and different brands will not fit you the same. Below are links to a some great guides that provide step-by-step instructions for measuring and finding the perfectly fitted bra!
