BRA SIZING
 

How do I know if I’m in the wrong size bra?
Does your band ride up? Do your straps fall down? Is your cup too small? The majority of women are wearing the wrong size or style of bra. We know that bra sizing is extremely complicated and not all bras fit the same, even though they may be the same size. At SOL, we carry a variety of styles in bras from a 32A – 44H. Our expertly trained fitters will guide you to the size and styles that work best


THE PERFECT FIT
  What is the most important thing to look for when buying a bra?
Band size. It is the most important aspect. More than 80% of the support of a bra comes from the band. When buying a new bra, it is critical that it be comfortably snug on the loosest or middle hook, and does not ride up in the back.

WHERE TO GO
  Where should I go to get fit?
My suggestion is to visit a specialty store and have a professional bra fitter guide you to your correct size. An educated fitter can guide you to bras that will make you and your clothes look better. Having your chest lifted and centered within your body frame can make you look taller and thinner.

BRA STYLES
 

What styles of bra should I buy?
I recommend having several types of bras in your bra wardrobe. A nude, smooth bra is best under a white shirt. A plunge bra is best for v-neck tops, wrap dresses and certain tops that require a strapless or halter bra. Lace bras can often offer better shape and support and can be worn under a variety of tops. You don’t wear the same shoes with every outfit, why would you wear the same bra?

How many bras should I buy?
I recommend at least 7. A good, quality bra will cost on average between $80-$120.

What is the difference between a contour bra and a padded bra?
A contour bra is simply lined with a modesty panel, just thick enough to create a shape and hide your nipples. A padded bra has additional padding designed to make you look bigger than you really are. If you are concerned about your nipples showing under a non-contour or lace bra you can always wear re-usable nipple covers.

I have a large chest. What is the best type of bra for me?
Bras that have seams and lace are going to offer the best shape and support. They will lift you up and out, giving you more of an hourglass shape, making you look smaller and thinner.
