How to choose a plus size bra?

Choose a plus size bra by looking for these support features:

1. Straps need to be stabilized, wider, and a bit less stretchy than its standard size counterparts. A less stretchy strap means that when the garment is warmed up by body heat, it can still maintain the lift as opposed to having the weight of your breasts drop the bra.

2. Cups must be big enough. Cup capacity can often be too shallow if plus-size bras haven’t been properly graded. If the cup isn’t big enough to properly support your chest, it probably isn’t correctly sized.

3. A great plus-size bra will have more coverage on the side wings and strong enough elastic in the top and bottom band to increase cross-pull when you hook the bra in the back.

4. Slings are part of the internal structure of the bra that provides lift and prevents spreading of east and west. Not all bras include them, but a great plus-size bra will.

5. Boning on either side of the breast helps keep the chest pointing forward.

6. A wider hook and eye at the back can improve cross-bracing and support in the underband.

7. A higher front gore can help avoid spillage out of the cups.

8. Additional coverage in the back provides extra smoothing.
