Bra Fit Guide

Are you wearing the correct bra size?

Four out of five women are wearing the wrong bra size. For something most women wear all day long, the right fit can make all the difference in how your clothes look, how you feel that day, and your ability to live your life pain-free.

While the way your bra fits does not affect your breast cancer risk, it’s a very important part of your overall breast health.

To share this important fit information, we’ve teamed up with the bra fit experts at Dillard’s to bring you this exclusive Bra Fit Guide! 


This guide answers common bra fit questions like:

  • Why do I always have to adjust my bra?
  • How do I know if my current bra fits?
  • Is it normal that my bra leaves red marks on my shoulders?
  • What factors affect bra size?
  • How do I measure cup size and band size?
  • How can I tell if my bra is too small or too big?
  • What type of bra is right for me?
  • How do I get my straps to stop slipping off my shoulders?
  • How do I prevent my bra cups from gapping at the top?

What our community is saying:

“Thank you for this guide. After my partial mastectomy, I am still struggling to find a bra size that feels comfortable. This guide gave me a lot of tips so I can find a good bra.” -Laura

“This guide was so helpful for me! I never thought I would need a new bra size in my early twenties but this guide taught me that changes can happen at any age.”  -Katie
