There is no perfect bra, because no two women are alike. Just like the shoes in your closet, your lingerie drawer should reflect your lifestyle, needs and shape. You wouldn’t wear running shoes to a wedding or stilettos to go jogging. The same applies to bras. You wear a sports bra when you need better support and an elegant bra for a night on the town. Whether, dainty, daring, supportive or sporty, you need the right style to suit your shape and size. Yes, size counts too! Women with bigger breasts need more support, either from underwire or elastic reinforcements. Small-breasted women also need support, but definition is even more important to highlight their contours. When you want to go for glamour, push-up, demi-cup, strapless and convertible (backless, crisscross, halter) bras are perfect. When you feel sporty or casual, go for a sports, soft cup, seamless or contour bra. Plunging bras, with lots of lace, sheer fabric and bows are perfect for the bedroom or the boardroom. After all, you’re the only one who knows what’s underneath your clothes!
Bra Basics
One thing’s for sure, though. Regardless of the type of bra you wear, having the right fit and proper adjustment will make all the difference in the world. What really count are band size (as in 32, 34, 36 or 38) and cup size (A, B, C, D). The two measurements are interrelated, because cup size increases with larger band sizes. For example, a 32B will always be a 32, but the B cup size will increase as the band size increases, so the cup size of a 36B bra would be larger.
How do you know what’s right for you?
If your band size is too small, your bra will feel tight and flesh will overflow on the sides. If your band size is too large, your bra will ride up your back and provide no support at all. You know that your cup size is too small when your breasts spill over the top and sides of your bra or if the underwire pokes into breast tissue. Straps should be tight enough to hold your bra in place, but not so tight that they cut into your skin. The rule of thumb-so to speak-is that you should be able to fit two fingers snugly under the top of the strap. Of course, you don’t want the straps to be so loose that they fall down. The band should be snug and fit evenly around the rib cage. Good posture is an excellent figure enhancer…and it’s free! Remember to hold your shoulders back and stand tall. Go ahead…say goodbye to droopiness, overflowing cups and straps that are too tight. Say hello to the new and confident you!
Guaranteed instant makeover
If you’re still not sure after trying on a number of bras, have a professional fitter help you. The right fit will make you look slimmer, younger and sexier. The perfect bra for you is one that makes you feel and look fabulous!

I have used Wonderbra for over 30 yrs…have tried others but some are still sitting in my dresser drawer….Wonderbra is the most comfortable and in my mind the best out there
I am unable to view your website when I need to look for more styles of Wonder Bra. What am I missing? Could you please help me out. I am looking for Style #1907. I bought it at Sear’s around Christmas time. I love this style and would like to buy more.
Hi,
the model 1907 was discontinued but i’m sure you could find another model that will fit you just like a glove. You can start by going to a store (Sears and The Bay) and get fitted by a professional, they are there just for you, that way you will be sure to have a bra that fits just right.
Hi I am having a hard time finding bra styles #2078 camelia and # 7472 IN 36 C
Hi Elaine,
the #2078 camelia is available at The Bay and Sears, and the #7472 is available at The Bay, Sears, Zellers and Walmart.
While shopping for bras recently I was told that my favorite style was no longer available. The clerk recommended I try style #2620. After a quick fitting, I purchased one in skin tone and one in black. This bra is so comfortable it is now my go bra for eveything and I have gone back and purchased two more! I do hope you keep this style around for a few more years. Thank you for making the most comfortable and affordable bras on the market!
Thank YOU so much for such a sweet comment! It’s so nice to hear when a client is satisfied, we work so hard to try to make a good product.
Thank you again and have a nice day!
I can’t find style #7209, black in 36D. I have checked Sears, the Bay and Zellers. Do you have on line ordering??
Hi!
It’s available at Sears only. They do have an online store.
Have a nice day!
I need help with sizing! I measure 23.5 inches under my bustline, and 38.5 across the fullest part.
Am I reading your chart correctly? Am I really “off the charts?” My measurements are definitely correct, and I was NOT measuring over clothing! (And no, I haven’t had “work” done to them!)
Thanks!
Dear Tandy,
we would recommand that you get fitted by a professional to find first, what size you really are and second, what type of bra would fit better. We recommend that every woman get fitted, especially after losing or gaining weight, and after giving birth. Afterward, you can also take a look at our online catalogs in the product section, to see what kind of model is available on the market.
Thank you and good luck!
from 16 to 40 yrs.old i have always worn 7918 the best and sexiest bra in the world. what a shock to realize you stop at size 38. why not make a push up bra for older women that are still feeling sexy.we feel less sexy when we look at bras in stores and all the beautiful colorful bras are made for younger women.lift our moral and our beautiful breasts with a model 7918. please consider making them also 40-42 sizes. we want to push up our girls also.
Sincere,valued customer who knows wonderbra is truly the best!!!!!

Hi Patricia!
Are you sure of the style number? Because we do not carry that number. Your suggestion will be transferred to the design and marketing department though.
Thank you for such a positive comment!
A special thank you to the Rep who services London, Ontario, Canada! If it weren’t for her, I would still be wandering around aimlessly! After 3 days of roaming lingerie stores and dept. stores looking for bras (I would be ashamed to show you the one I was wearing!!), she came to my rescue. I was on my way out of the store when she passed by and said “is there anything I can help you with?”. She must have seen the look of despair on my face! I was hesitant but then blurted my story about trying to find the right bra. She worked with me for almost an hour and we found two “great” Wonderbras (oh, there were more I could have bought but money was limited!!) I was so thrilled to know that I had now been properly fitted and she did all the running around the dept. looking for the right bra just for me! THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
Wow! What inspiring story! Thank YOU for sharing this with us!
Why don’t you have many options for petite women who wear size 32A? There only seems to be one bra in this size that isn’t a mastectomy bra, and it only comes in white. Smaller women also want padded push ups and choice of color. Will you be expanding your size range in the future so we have more options?
Dear Susan,
we are sorry that you can not find the product that you wanted. But we thank you for your honesty, every comment, positive or negative, helps us improve the brand and helps us serving the customer better. For now, we do not carry a style like that, in that regard, your comment was sent to the Design and Marketing department.
Thank you and have a nice day!
I have always loved Wonderbra products and have worn them for years,I wish some were still around today.It started for me with The Pretty Lights collection and Satin caress collections of bras and panties.keep up the great work wonderbra.Darcee.

i am a loyal customer to wonderbra however no matter where i go i can’t find a floral or colored nice bra for my size. i love the smaller bra’s for smaller woman the cute stripes and what not but they dont really have anything good for my size, 42ddd
Dear Kim,
unfortunately, we don’t carry that size. However, we did send your comment at the Merchandising and marketing department. Maybe this will help get new sizes for the future!
Thank yo so much and have a nice day!
Why don’t you make bras in 32DD – surely I’m not the only one!
Hi !
We don’t have that size, but we will sure transfer your comment to the Marketing and marchandising department. Who knows?
Thank you for writting to us and have a great day !
I found a bra that i really love, it was out in 2009 around xmas time and I remember it was a special anniversary bra. The model no was 1939. Is it sold in any stores now? It was the most comfortable bra I ever wore.
qs the most comfortable
Hello Brenda,
We really appreciate to hear that you loved our WonderBra anniversary bra! This model is now discontinued. We are currently working a new bra that will showcase a lot of the features that anniversary style had – stay tuned!
I have been a wonderbra customer for many years. The last style I tried was 3384. I take a 34D. I cannot find this style anywhere now. I am in bad need for some new bras. Since I couldn’t find the 3384, I have tried a couple of others and I do not like them. I can’t stand wearing the underwire and the 3384 is the best. Will this one be coming back on the market or do you know of someplace I can order it from? 34 D is one of the hardest sizes to find.
Dear Donna,
the style 3384 is not available in 34D anymore. We suggest you to consult a fit expert at a speciality store near you. They will help you find the right fit for your taste and shape.
Good shopping!
Hello there I am desperate to find the Wonderbra style # 7209 in white, black, and nude. I usually every year buy 4 or more from my local Sears, I live in Shilo MB, Canada… was this style discontinued its the only one for 12 years i have been wearing and Im in need of some new ones??? thank you for your time! Best Bra ever!!!!
Hi Nicole,
this style is no longer available. You could go to your local Sears and ask one specialist to help you find the perfect match for you and take the opportunity to be measured! Good shopping!
Hi
I have been professionally fitted, and wear either a 36 I or 38 H. I need to find a reasonably priced sports bra – preferably $50 or less, and predominately cotton.
Do you carry anything that would suit? I can’t find that size on your site.
Thanks.
Dear Susan,
You did the right thing, it’s important to be professionaly fitted ! Unfortunately, we do not carry these sizes, we suggest you to go to the nearest speciality store where they will be able to help you find the right model for you.
Good shopping !
I really, really loved the “Pearl” model – I believe it was 7579. I started out with 36D, then 36DD then 38D. (Depending on those things that pull the straps closer together at the back sometimes). I know they’ve been gone for awhile – I found some at a liquidation-type store last year. My local Sears sales lady wears this model too! We’ve tried other ones, just can’t beat the fit of this model. Any chance that you’ll bring them back? This particular bra just makes my “girls” look incredible.
Hello Joy,
We are happy to know you enjoyed this model ! Usually when a style is discontinued we do not bring it back on the market but we can assure you that your comments will be forwarded to our Marketing and Merchandising departments. We invite you to shop for our new styles, maybe you’ll find the fit you are looking for in one of those.
Have a great day !
I am looking for # 2078 anywhere in Alberta. The Bay tells me it’s discontinued – is that correct? If so, what’s close to that style.
Thanks!
Hello Verena,
It’s true, this style has been discontinued. We’d like to suggest that you ask for the specific features you’re looking for at a specialty store or the nearest department store to find a great new bra !
Have an excellent day!
