Hey if you missed this information the first five million times it was said, here it is again: most women are wearing the wrong size bra. In fact, statistically, the numbers are roughly 85% of all women are wearing the wrong size bra. They are stuffing themselves into bras that are too small, or swimming around in bras that are too large. They are wearing bras they bought when they were in their teens, or still floating around in their nursing bras while their children race off to college. And what does it do for them? It makes them look old or tired or (gasp) overweight. The wrong bra can make a woman look dumpy and frumpy and will drag her mood down, right along with her boobs. But a good bra, in the right size can lift you back up.

Contrary to popular belief, a good bra is not just about the size of the cups that you need, although that matters too. Instead, you need to make sure that your bra fits around your body (the band size) your shoulders, which can either be adjusted or if need be, tailored to fit and then the cups as well. Achieving the perfect fit is so important that even the shyest of women need to get over themselves and go and have a professional bra fitting. There are usually bra fitting events in upscale stores, or you can go to a lingerie store for a bra fitting, whichever you prefer.

When you do get the right size bra, make sure that you are wearing it correctly, adjusting it as you need. Remember that sometimes bras can swell as much as a size during the period just before the menstrual cycle, so adjust accordingly. If your bra size fluctuates with your weight, you might need more than one bra size to account for what you need from one day to the next.  Put the bra on, leaning forward to allow your breasts to center themselves in the cup. Adjust the straps and then look in the mirror from all angles to check for bulges and other issues. Press your arms together in front of your body and then pull them back to make sure that the bra does not pucker or nothing slips out of the cups.

Now that you have on the right size bra, look at yourself in the mirror. See how tall your posture appears, with your shoulders held back and your chest out? Not only do you look a little taller, but you probably look sleeker and slimmer as well, with firmer breasts and a more youthful appearance.
