Other things to Consider:
Shape & Silhouette
Seamed bras give more lift and definition. Seamless bras and t-shirt bras are great for wearing under thinner materials or tighter clothes.
Brand
Some brands are designed with smaller breasts in mind while others are made for fuller busts. While shopping on our site or in our store, we can advise you how each brand fits.
Sister Sizes
Bras have ‘sister sizes’. These are sizes that will fit similarly to your size. You can use the chart below to find your sister sizes. Find your size and move one direction left or right. This size bra could work for you too.
