We may be sounding like a broken record but we just can’t stress enough, come and get fitted for the right bra for you. We see it again and again and each time the results are transformative when you find the right fit and the right bra for you. With the holidays now here there are lots of Christmas parties to attend and cocktail parties. There is nothing worse than wearing the perfect dress when the girls don’t match the perfect look.

Here are our tips to getting the right bra for you so you look and feel just as good.

1. Get yourself professionally measured. Look for a place that specializes in bra fittings. Here at Beneath The Gown we offer complimentary bra fittings and have been specially trained to fit women correctly. Being fitted correctly should not mean it is a five minute in and out experience. Remember our bodies also constantly change so be sure to get refitted regularly to ensure you are still wearing the right bra for you. Especially if you have had children, gained weight, lost weight, and the many other reasons that change our bodies.

2. Make sure the back is snug. The back needs to be snug in order to support and hold your breasts up. If you put your hand in the band, the bra is too big. It should also not be so snug that it is uncomfortable and feeling to tight. It needs to fit just right.

3. If your breasts aren’t halfway between your shoulder and your elbow, then you’re too low, it is ok to go a little higher but you don’t want to be low. The more supported your breasts are the smaller your waist looks and the slimmer believe it or not. Having great support and keep the girls up high are what it is all about.

4. Buy new bras every six months.The fact is so many outside factors affect our bodies and they often change a few times even in the coarse of  a year. You want to make sure your bras are always giving you continued support and fitting you right so you can keep your breasts and you looking great.

5. Rotate the bras you DO have. Don’t wear the same bra every day — you’ll stretch it out. I know we all have that one favorite we could wear for days on end. If you find one you really love, get it in three colors and continue to rotate them.

In the end all these tips we absolutely promise will leave you feeling more confident and looking amazing.
