"First and foremost, is get a bra fitting! In my experience most women are wearing the wrong bra size. The most common mistake I've seen is, wearing a bra that is too big in the band and too small in the cup. So first and foremost i would like to discuss the different parts of a bra. Theres the band which goes around your back, the cup, and the strap. The band is the measurement of your rib cage just below the breast tissue, which goes all the way around your back. How you want your band to fit, is you want it to be low on your back, snug, and parallel to the ground. A cup is the measurement of the width of your breast tissue. You want the wire to clear all of your breast tissue, you don't want anything popping out above or on the sides or your bra. You want it to come all the way underneath and tack you in the middle. This material here toward the strap, is not necessarily the cup, its more about the wire. Lastly you have your straps. Your straps are not what are holding your bra up, you want your band to do that. However, your straps are there to make sure that nothing falls down. You want about two fingers worth of tension in the straps, if you have to much room you do want to tighten them just a bit. "
