The average bra size is increasing and has been doing for some time. Women’s bras are now better made to fit and people are realising that usually the back size on their bra is too big and the cup size too small and so the cup size of the average woman is increasing. The back size in women is also increasing, due to the average clothes size increasing from a size 14-16 in recent years.

One brand has decided to grow with the trend and create the world’s biggest strapless bra. This is no mean feat as the bra must have the correct support due to the weight of the breasts as well as being able to hold up the breasts without falling down. The bra also does something that a lot of bigger sized bras don’t do and that is look appealing. This bra is really pretty with its sheer fabric and print available in fuchsia and bright colours.

If y0u have a bigger bust you can now wear strapless bras with lingerie retailers just how important great strapless bras are for the bigger bust.

There comes a time in every young girl’s life where she goes to be fitted for her first bra. A sentimental time for her and her mother as a measuring tap goes around her chest to reveal her size. But does bra shopping get any easier as we get older. Does your bra size change from shop to shop and differ with the styles you try. Fitting has always been left in the hands of the shop assistants armed with a measuring tape but is this really accurate? Well now in the 21st century there is a scientific way to get measured and it comes from to ex Microsoft workers.

Michelle Lam and Aarthi Ramamurthy have developed a survey that claims to give you an accurate bra fit online. In the survey you are asked questions such as “Where does your bra hurt you and how do your straps feel on your shoulders?” They consider your body shape as a whole and understand that not everyone’s breasts are the same shape. Therefore certain bras will suit different shaped breasts.

So will you adopt this new way of fitting or stick to the trusted measuring tape?

It may not surprise you to know that the average bra size is increasing since the early manufacturing days of bra‘s and lingerie. The answers to why bra sizes are increasing may surprise you.

A survey has found that a larger cup size and a smaller back size can give you greater comfort and help your posture. Women are getting familiar with this idea and are deciding to choose bra’s with a smaller back and larger cup to increase comfort and also the appearance of their bust.

It is a large misconception that women who are larger in size in turn have larger bra sizes and it has been found that women of smaller frames are too experiencing an increase in bust size. This is due to a number of factors including the increase in the use of contraception and also the increase in things like plastic surgery.
