What are the reasons why bras don’t fit? According to some bra fitters, “85% of women are in the wrong size bra.” But that statistic is just a myth and fails to take into account that not all bras are sized or made the same way. So it’s not about finding the one, right size. Most…
Do you have any bra fit issues? How do you explain your concerns to a bra fitter, or to a customer service representative at a department store or lingerie retailer?

Why is bra sizing so complicated and confusing? That’s the question I ask myself while shopping for bras at H&M.
