How to determine bra size...
When shopping for full figured bras, it's important to know your correct bra size.
Despite how sexy a brassiere may seem, it won't be comfortable if it's too small or too big on you.
For 3 easy steps on how to calculate bra size, see our easy bra size calculator.
Large size bras have better coverage and all round support. They tend to have wider back and side panels for additional support and lift.
Look for wider bands at the base of the brassiere with stronger fabric.
Molded cups are another alternative that have great support without underwires.
A minimizer bra is designed to reduce the projection of the breasts, and give a smaller look.
Many women with larger breasts prefer minimizer bras. This particular brassiere allows them to wear button front and lower cut blouses for a finished look that does not pull.
