I've Been Wearing the Wrong Bra Size—Here's How I Finally Got It Right
Wearing the wrong bra size is like wearing the wrong shoe size: It's uncomfortable, noticeable, and kind of ruins the whole outfit. But like many people, I've been there and vividly
remember my first true bra mishap. Let me set the scene: It's eighth-grade graduation, and my parents bought me a special strapless polka-dot dress with a pink belt. I got my hair and makeup done, stepped into my dress, and felt like a million bucks. A few hours later at the ceremony, my strapless bra started to shimmy its way down to my waist with my breasts fully out of the cups. Fourteen-year-old me was in full-on panic mode. All I wanted was for graduation to be over so I could just go home. Looking back, the only thing I really remember from that day is how self-conscious and uncomfortable I felt.
It's taken a lot of trial and error over the years, but I've come to learn just how important a proper-fitting bra is. Not only does it serve as a foundation for every outfit, but it can make anyone feel more confident. "If you feel good, you look good," says model Maxey Greene, who has been struggling to find a strapless bra that's comfortable and fits well. That's exactly why she was eager to try Wacoal's new mybraFit™ app.
