Bras are designed to fit like this so that you can tighten the band as the elastic starts to wear out. It is only found in a few places in the world where it has been used for centuries by local villagers to uplift and enhance breasts naturally. Like many women who have had breast augmentation, you may also have a boost in self confidence. If the store carries brands such as Fantasie which have small bands and a wide array of cup sizes, you can pretty well expect their fitters are well trained. Those who once had firm breasts eventually catch on that their figure is ageing and their breasts are sagging.. Ideally it is better to have someone else measure you, and its still best to be professionally fitted somewhere such as Nordstrom ( and not Victoria ' s Secret!! ) If there is a gap in the band touching your ribs when you look down at the cleavage area, the band is too loose, and if it rides up in the back or your straps slip down off of your shoulders, it is an indication your bra is too loose.
