The Proper Fit For A Plus Size Bra
To get the best fitting bra, you need to receive a professional fitting. Most stores that sell underwear have sales personnel knowledgeable to help you find the best fit for you. Two stores that come to mind are Victoria's Secrets and Lane Bryant, who usually have an associate available to help you. You should not have the cup size and the diameter of your ribcage compensate for each other. Too often women will not get the correct size and try to make up for it by going with a smaller cup size or a larger band size. It is important to remember that the band should fit snugly around your ribcage, and that for standard bras, the center should just touch your sternum.
After your bra fitting, ask the clerk to show you some bras in your new size. Plus size women often have difficulty finding bras in their exact size. They usually require bras with a large cup size and a small band or a small cup size and a large band size. However, many retailers now cater to these special sizes. Check for a specialty bra shop or boutique in your area. If you don't have a local store available, check for one online. Although most stores do not stock a wide selection of sizes, their web sites offer an expansive selection of sizes and styles. You may be surprised to find a bra in your size is available in a variety of colors instead of the classic white, nude or black usually offered to plus size shoppers.
When you are trying to figure out what looks best on you, make sure that you have a good foundation to build on. When you are concerned about the fit of your clothes, make sure that you have the support that that a well-fitted bra provides!
