8 out of 10 women are wearing the wrong bra size- you may be one of them. Why? Our bodies change over time, and your fit will change from year to year as you lose or gain weight, exercise more or less and so on.
If you are experiencing discomfort, spillage over your cups or back strap, tight straps, or a gap between your cups, you are most likely wearing the wrong size. A great fitting bra can make you look taller, will define your waist, and even make you look slimmer! All you need is a a soft measuring tape and a pen and paper to get in the right bra right now!
First, put on a bra with no padding or lift and ensure it is not a minimizing bra. Then, follow the simple steps in the illustration.
Now that you have determined your size, it's time to find the perfect bra! Are you confused by all the bra terminology? Not sure what the difference is between demi cups, balconettes and plunges?
Kmart.com has a wide variety of silhouettes, sizes and styles to ensure that we have the perfect bra for you! Here are a few favorites in our best selling silhouettes.
T-Shirt Bra
Invisible under even the thinnest fabrics, T-shirt bras are seamless styles that create ultra smooth looks. T-shirt bras provide ample coverage.
Demi Bra
Light padding and cutway cups, demi bras are perfect for lower cut necklines and dresses. Demi bras have considerably less coverage than T-shirt bras. Take a peek at two Demi bras available at Kmart!
Balconette
Also know as a shelf bra, balconettes are a more revealing version of a demi bra. Offering little to no coverage, balconettes create dramatic uplift and cleavage.

Plunge
Show off your style, not your bra with a low centered cut bra that looks great under plunging necklines. Plunge bras usually have "cookies" or "bumps" (a push up pad that enhances cleavage.)

Convertible
A convertible bra has straps that can work as a halter, criss- cross, strapless or conventional for versatility.

Push-up bras create the appearance of increased cleavage using angled cups (which generally have underwires), and always have a "cookie" or a "bump". Cookies can be made with foam:

Remember to check back in six months or so. You should re-evaluate your bras regularly to be sure they are fitting you the way they should - because a woman's body does change over time, and bras stretch and lose shape with repeated wear and washing. It may be time to stock-up again, soon!
