In five years of talking about bras I've had to debunk my fair share of bra myths. There is a lot of great bra information out there but there is also a lot of bra nonsense that is keeping hundreds of thousands of women from their best fit. How many of these bra 'facts' are actually rubbish and which are the real deal? (I'll post the answers in the comments in a couple of days!) xx
1) Your bra band should be parallel with the ground
2) It's normal to get some back fat with a well-fitting bra
3) After you measure round your ribcage you should add 4 inches to find your band size
4) Not all bras in your size will fit you
5) Straps falling off your shoulders is a normal part of wearing bras
6) You should be able to lift the band away from your body so you can see the bottom of your breasts
7) The direction of the seams on a cup changes the shape of the look of your bust
8) The gore should lie flat against your body between your boobs
9) If your bra leaves red marks on your body it's the wrong size
10) Wearing a bra at night stops your boobs sagging
There are many, many more but if you can sort the fact from the fiction in this list then you've got a great handle on your bra fit! xx
