In 2026, we’re officially retiring bra myths for good. Understanding how a bra should fit is about more than comfort; it’s about proper support, confidence, and feeling your best in your clothes. We’re breaking down the top four bra myths women still believe, so you can stop guessing and start choosing bras that truly work for your body.

The myths we’re debunking:

🎀 “Your bra size will always stay the same”

🎀 “A bigger or looser band means more comfort”

🎀 “The right bra will fix back fat”

🎀 “Fuller busts need a minimizer bra”

When you’re wearing the right bra, everything changes, from how your clothes fit to how confident you feel. Our expert fitters are here to educate, guide, and help you find a fit that feels as good as it looks.

Let's learn the truth behind each myth, and book a personalized fitting with our experts to experience the difference for yourself.

If you’ve been wearing the same size since high school, or since Victoria’s Secret told you once upon a time, it might be time for a refresh. Our bodies are constantly changing due to hormones, weight fluctuations, lifestyle, and age, and your bra size changes right along with it. In fact, 85% of women are wearing the wrong bra size, often without realizing it. The right fit can completely transform how your bra feels, how your clothes lay, and how supported you feel throughout the day. That’s why we recommend checking in on your size at least once a year, because a properly fitting bra makes all

the difference.

It’s a common assumption, but the opposite is actually true. The band provides most of a bra’s support, so when it’s too loose, the bra shifts, rides up, and leaves your shoulders doing all the work. A properly fitting band should feel snug and secure, not restrictive, allowing the bra to stay in place and support you throughout the day. When the band fits correctly, you’ll notice less adjusting, better posture, and far more comfort overall. Support doesn’t come from looseness, it comes from the right fit.

A beautifully fitting bra works with your body, not against it. When a band fits correctly, it will feel gently snug, this is what creates lift, structure, and a smooth, sculpted silhouette. A bit of natural skin is completely normal and part of being a woman; it’s not a flaw, and it’s certainly not something a bra is meant to erase. While we offer thoughtfully designed smoothing styles for a polished finish under clothing, our priority is always the same: finding the most supportive, flattering size for you, so your bra enhances your shape with elegance and ease.

Minimizers absolutely have their place, and we carry beautiful ones, but they’re not the only, or even the best, solution for every fuller bust. More often than not, what truly creates a refined, balanced look is a properly fitting bra without heavy molding. We love unmolded, seamed, and unlined styles for fuller busts because they lift, shape, and create a slimmer, more streamlined silhouette. Unlike minimizers, which can sometimes compress and widen the bust, these styles support and sculpt, allowing your natural shape to shine. With the right fit and construction, you’ll achieve the elegant, polished look you’re actually after.
