Common fit issues

When I tell someone that I am a custom bra maker, nearly everyone tells me a story about the horrible fit of their bra or a bad experience that they had at a lingerie shop. If you are frustrated by the fit of your bra, trust me, you are not alone. Approximately 80% of women do not wear a properly fitting bra. That is a HUGE percentage!

If you are small-busted, you have probably experienced some of these fit issues with your bra...

*The cup is too big

*The underwire is too small and digs into the breast tissue

*Why is there so much padding?

*The band is too tight (and causes the underwire to dig in even more)

*Did they run out of the fun colors when they got to us?

*If you're athletic, your pectoral muscles and breast tissue will widen, making it impossible to find a bra that fits

*If you have a muscular back, straps often irritate

If you are large-busted, you have probably experienced some of these fit issues with your bra...

*The cup is too small

*The double boob dilemma (it should look like 2, not 4!)

*The band is too big and rides up in the back

*What is up with those tiny straps?

*The band makes it look like there's back fat

*Straps make dents in your shoulders

*I think they ran out of all of the fun colors here, too

*To find one that fits, it looks like something my grandma wore

If you are average-busted, generally those lucky ladies that can wear the most commonly sized ready-to-wear bras, you still might have some fit issues in your bra...

*The underwire might be too small

*Maybe the straps slide off your shoulders

*One breast might be larger than the other, and the cups do not fill evenly

*The band might not fit properly

*Not enough coverage
