Picking a Perfectly Fitted Bra

Finding a new bra that fits you right totally depends on you finding the right size. When you know your bust size, you can purchase a bra easily at a store or online. Bra sizes are not fixed for your entire life, they tend to fluctuate so you need to keep checking them from time to time. You can easily do it by yourself at home. For this, you will need a measuring tape and standing in front of the mirror, wearing a non-padded bra.

Step 1. Calculate your band size by measuring your waist where your bra band ends.
Step 2. Now measure the fullest part of your bust, through this, you can calculate your bust/cup size.
With this method, you get two numbers, you can then use them to find the right size.

If the above method seems difficult to you, take the help of the Clovia Curve Fit tool. The tool asks some basic questions and tells you your correct bra size as per the size & shape of your breasts. 

Signs of a Correct-Fitted Bra

Look out for these signs to make sure that the bra you are purchasing is right: 

1. The cup should perfectly encase your breasts. If you notice any crease that means the cups are slightly loose. At the same time, if there are bulges on the sides or top, that means the bra is tight.
2. The straps should not dig or feel loose on your shoulder. They should fit properly.

A well-fitted bra not only keeps you at comfort but also boosts your confidence.

Know the Types of Bra

Bras are broadly categorized into padded & non-padded. You can shop for various styles under these categories, namely: 

Sports Bra

Normal bras cannot fulfil your gym requirements. Sports bras are carefully designed keeping in mind the support, compression and flexibility that’s required during workouts and other physical activities.

T-Shirt Bra

A T-shirt bra typically comes with padded or non-padded cups. It protects modesty while providing a smooth & seamless effect under all your outfits. 

Push-Up Bra

Push-up bras come with different levels of padding to uplift your breasts & enhance your cleavage. 

Backless Bra

Designed for backless tops, this bra features a transparent back band and a G-hook for closure.

Strapless Bra

With shoulder-baring outfits, you need to wear a strapless bra. These bras have silicone taping on the inside that help it stay put and prevent it from slipping down.

Bralette

It’s a blend of bra & crop top, usually styled as both Indian & western outfit. Mostly crafted with exquisite lace fabric, it can help enhance the look of your outfit.

Minimizer Bra 

It reduces the appearance of the bust by one cup size, provides compression & reduces breast projection. It redistributes mass & reshapes the breast. 

Full-Figure Bra

A full figure bra is designed specifically keeping in mind the needs of larger bust sizes. It has full cups that prevent spillage from all sides, broad straps that don’t dig into the skin and triple hook & eye closures at the back. Most of these bras even have broad underband & back back for extra support.

FAQs

Q1. Who invented bras and why?
A1.The modern bra, as we know it today, was invented in the early 20th century. The exact date and inventor of the bra are subjects of some debate, as different versions of breast support garments have been used throughout history. One significant milestone in bra history is the patenting of the "brassiere"(full name of bra) by Mary Phelps Jacob in 1914. She designed a garment made of silk handkerchiefs and ribbons, which provided an alternative to the restrictive corsets commonly worn at the time.
Q2. Why should women wear a bra?
A2. Yes, wearing a bra is necessary for a woman for many reasons. Breast tissues only have mammary glands and fat tissues, and there is no bone there. Hence without proper support, they sag. Also doing any physical activity can be difficult without wearing a bra.
Q3. How to wear a bra?
A3. The best body posture when wearing a bra is to lean down. You should always hook all the clasps of the bra and make sure it’s neither too tight nor too loose.

Q4. How do I know if my bra fits correctly?
A4. If your bra fits correctly your breasts won’t spill from the top or sides. Your band sits flat along the rib cage without digging or feeling loose.
