How do I know if my bra band size is too big or my straps are slipping because of fit issues?

From Expert: Violet

When Marianna booked her first bra fitting appointment, she mentioned that her bras were stretching out too quickly and her straps constantly slipped off her shoulders. She came in wearing a 34C, but after her fitting, we discovered she was actually a 32E.

I explained that when a bra’s band size is too large, it can cause the straps to fall and the band to lose support. Once we found her correct size, the difference was instant. Marianna tried on several of our favorite lingerie essentials, including the Allegra Balconette, Romy Demi Bra, Victoire Plunge, and Alex Scoop Bra.

The moment she slipped into the 32E Victoire Plunge in Praline, she smiled because it was the perfect fit. She also chose the Romy Demi in Amande, two timeless styles that offered both beauty and support.

Finding your proper size can completely transform the way your lingerie feels and fits. A well-fitted bra supports your natural shape, enhances comfort, and helps your favorite pieces last longer.

Expert Tip: If your straps are slipping or your band rides up, it might be time for a professional bra fitting. A smaller band size with the right cup can make all the difference in comfort and confidence.
