How to find the perfect fit for a full-coverage bra?

Snagging the ideal fit for your full-coverage bra is key to unlocking top-notch support, comfort, and confidence. Let's walk you through the steps in this section to make sure you find a full-coverage bra that fits like a charm. Stick with these pro tips and tricks to guarantee your full-coverage bra delivers the perfect blend of support and comfort, tailored to your unique shape.

Get professionally fitted

For a spot-on fit, visit your nearby Bendon store and let the experts do their thing. A professional fitting is key for nailing accurate measurements, receiving personalised recommendations, and scoring enhanced comfort and support. It's your ticket to feeling comfy, confident, and downright happy with your full-coverage bra pick.

If you prefer the DIY route, measuring at home works too. Wrap a soft measuring tape snugly around your underbust to find your band size. Then, measure the fullest part of your breasts for the bust size. Use these measurements to unveil your perfect band and cup size match. Easy peasy.

Consider your breast shape

Knowing your breast shape is a game-changer when picking the ideal full-coverage bra. While these bras generally rock for all shapes, understanding your own can help you choose a style that brings the A-game in support and coverage. The aim? Find a full-coverage bra that cosily hugs your breasts, shapes them nicely, and gives you the support you crave. For extra guidance on snagging the right bra styles based on your unique breast shape, dive into our handy guide.

Try different styles

When it comes to full-coverage bras, there's a whole bunch of styles out there, each with its own cool features. Brands might have a bit of a twist in sizing and fit, so why not try on a few? Have fun testing out various styles like balconettes, moulded cups, or unlined options. Who knows? You might stumble upon the one that feels just right for you. So go ahead, try them on, and enjoy the journey of finding your perfect match.

Pay attention to the band and straps

When it comes to full-coverage bras, the band and straps are essential for support and comfort. Paying attention to these parts ensures your bra fits well and keeps you comfy without any weird feelings. Here's what you need to think about:

Band fit

The band of your full-coverage bra should hug your torso snugly, offering support without being too tight. It should sit parallel to the floor and stay put all day long. Ensure the band isn't digging into your skin, leaving red marks, or riding up your back. If needed, tweak the band size to find that perfect balance between comfort and support.

Strap adjustment

Make sure the straps on your full-coverage bra are adjustable to tailor the fit and support to your liking. Straps that are too tight might dig into your shoulders, leading to discomfort or marks on your skin. On the flip side, if the straps are too loose, they might slip off or not give enough support. Find that sweet spot by adjusting the straps, so they rest comfortably on your shoulders, providing a secure fit without feeling overly tight.

Assess the cup coverage

A key thing to check in a full-coverage bra is that the cups cover your breasts nicely, keeping everything in place without any spillage or bulging. Here's what to pay attention to:

No spillage or bulges

In a full-coverage bra, the cups should keep your breasts in check – no spillage over the top, sides, or underarms. Make sure your breasts are fully inside the cups, avoiding any bulging or peek-a-boo moments outside the bra. This ensures your silhouette stays smooth and seamless under your clothes.

Flat and wrinkle-free cups

For the cups of your full-coverage bra, aim for a flat and wrinkle-free look against your chest. If you notice any gaps or wrinkles, it could mean the bra is too big or too small, messing with the fit and support. Make sure the cups hug your breasts smoothly, matching their shape for a secure and comfy fit.
