How to Shop Lingerie

It's All About The Fit

Take your time and get fitted by the professionals, your bessie mate guessing in the changing room doesn't count, gals. Ideally you should have a fitting every six months, but if that doesn't work for you then look out for the tell tale signs. The experts at Chantelle tell us that when the following issues start happening you are long overdue a lingerie makeover:

- If you notice your bra is always slipping off your shoulder, you need a smaller back size.

- If you ever wear a bra that makes your breasts bulge out and has underwire that cuts into your skin, or if the centre piece is standing away from the body, you need a bigger cup size - and pronto.

- If the cups look wrinkled or the underwire is too big, you need a smaller cup size.

- Finally, look out for the back of your bra being in line with the front for the best fit, and it needs to be fastened on the loosest hook for the ideal fit.
