Lipstick Lifestyle

Bra guru and owner of Linea Intima stores in Ontario, Liliana Mann estimates that 90 per cent of the women that come into her stores are wearing the wrong size bra. If any of these next points apply to you, you are guilty of wearing the wrong size.

- You can’t wait to take your bra off at the end of the day.
- The back is riding up.
- You spill out from the bottom when you lift your arms up.
- The wire hurts you under the arms.
- You have a double set of boobs or a uni-boob.
- Your boobs sit very low.

It is very hard to get the right size bra without a proper fitting. This is because the experts know their stuff. They can address specific problems and needs. “My girls say I have x-ray vision,” says Mann, who can tell if your bra fits properly just by looking at you.

Mann recommends getting a professional fitting once a year because the size and shape of breasts change all the time thanks to exercise, medications, your period, weight loss or weight gain and pregnancy.

Invest in yourself by indulging in a supportive, comfortable and well-made undergarment or two.
