How To Fix Your Bra Fit Problems

Kick your bra dilemmas to the curb with these easy-peasy fixes.

From gapping to bulging, you can solve the most common bra fit problems in two easy ways. The first is to get yourself a proper bra fitting. The second is to select bra styles that target your specific concerns. There’s no doubt about it—the perfect bra fit coupled with the right bra style for your size + shape can instantly up your poise and make dressing a snap!

Gapping Cups

Mind the gap. There are two top reasons you may be experiencing gapping at the cups: you have shallow top/full bottom breasts, or you’re wearing the incorrect size and bra style. Our At Ease T-Shirt Bra is the perfect fix, featuring a thin stretch neckline for flexibility and a flush fit.

Digging Band & Straps

Let loose. Did you know the bra band provides most of a bra’s support—not the cups or straps? To nix digging, make sure you’re wearing the right band size and that you’ve adjusted the bra straps correctly (you should be able to slide two fingers underneath the straps comfortably). We recommend the Softly Styled Underwire Bra, which provides the comfort of a bralette with the support of a bra.

Back & Side Bulge

Make smooth moves. If a sleek silhouette is what you crave, the Back Appeal Underwire Bra is your #1 must-have. This elegant essential delivers stunning results—thanks to a unique fabric and wider band that provides extra back coverage to help reduce and smooth bulging. It’s proof that the right bra is everything.

Slipping Straps

Slip no more. Few things are as frustrating as runaway straps! This can happen if you have narrow-set shoulders or when the bra band is too big for you causing the straps to slide down. The best solution is our Soft Embrace Front Close Racerback Bra. A fan-favorite, this cotton-like number features inset straps that sit further in on the shoulder to prevent slipping.

Gaping Buttons

Tired of tops playing peekaboo? Turn to our best-selling Visual Effects Minimizer Bra, crafted with smoothing full coverage cups to reduce your bustline up to one inch. Go ahead, step out in your most-loved button-ups with the utmost confidence. It’s almost like magic!
