The bra band is cutting me in half, what should I do? The brassiere band may be too tight. Choose a style with a wider band, or increase the band size (eg. from 34C to 36C).
My brassiere rides up in the back, how do I get a better fit? Try tightening the hook or loosening the straps. If neither works, then go down a size. 
The brassiere straps are leaving marks on my shoulders, and digging in, ouch! You need more support. Look for bra styles with wider or padded straps. Also, try loosening the straps so they're not so tight. Remember support from a brassiere comes from the band, not the straps. 
The side of my brassiere is too tight, and the sides are spilling over Choose a style with wider and more supportive sides. Also try increasing the brassiere band measurement (eg. from 34C to 36C). 
The bra cup is wrinkling, what should I do? Your brassiere cup is too big! It should be smooth and taut, not wrinkled. Try going down one brassiere (not just a cup) size. 
My brassiere is over flowing and my breasts are spilling over the top and sides! You're not wearing the correct bra size. Try going up a cup size (eg. from 38C to 38D), or look for a fuller cup with more coverage and support on the sides and top. |
