What is the correct way to put on a bra and how can I tell if it’s fitting properly?
When trying on a bra, remember that the bra should fit well when done up on the middle hook, which is called the fit hook. The remaining hooks are to give flexibility for any future figure changes. Remember also that the back of the bra provides the main support, so should sit snugly against the body. If it rides high at the back, the bust will be correspondingly lower at the front and not adequately supported. The correct way to put on a bra is as follows: • Loosen the back straps, slip straps over shoulders and lean forward from the waist to fill the cups properly. • Do the bra up on the middle hook. • Straighten up and adjust the straps. Always consider the clothing you want to wear with the bra and the look it will give your breasts under clothing. Bras are designed to give shape to the breasts and, while a natural rounded profile is now the most sought after shape, there are still some bras that offer a more pointed profile.
