We all know how important it is to find your right size to
get that proper fitting bra. But that doesn’t mean that once you know your
size, every bra in that size is going to fit you perfectly. Some styles are
going to be better on you than others, and some you should just avoid.

Are you pointed and thin? Round and full? Athletic? Uneven?
This is naturally part of the fitting process. Not only is a
good fitter trying to find your right size but she is also determining what
styles work best on your shape.
Over the next couple of weeks we’ll look at common shapes
and what might work best for that woman.
Please note: There are exceptions. You may be more than one shape discussed. I recommend that you still
work with a professional fitter you trust, trying on the different styles, to truly
see what works best on you.
Pointed
The pointed breast shape is pointed or cone like. Typically
this shape is found in the A-C cup range. It is likely that the nipple will be
pointed and obvious. This shape is best suited for foam lined and padded
t-shirt bras.
Recommendation:
- Foam lined t-shirt bras to smooth and round the shape
- Padded push up bras for a fuller look
- Bandeaus to round the shape
Caution:
The pointed breast shape should avoid plunge bras as they
are more likely to fall out of the bra.
Thin
The thin breast shape appears slim and long. This shape is
typically found in the A-C cup range. Thin breast shapes will find soft cup (or
wireless) bras comfortable as standard underwire bras can sit too low on the
rib cage.
Recommendation:
- Foam lined t-shirt bras to smooth and round the shape
- Padded push up bras for a fuller look
- Bandeaus to round the shape
Caution:
The thin breast shape may find underwire uncomfortable as it
may sit too low on the rib cage.
