Bra Basics
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. 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!

Please help! I recently loss weight and am having trouble finding a size that fits.I have always bought wonderbra and would like to continue. I have measured 32 under the breast and 41 on top of the breast. I use to be a 36 DD and feel I am 34 DD but I cannot find a size that fits or stores that carry this size. Also is there a way to order bra’s directly from the website??
Thanks for all your help

A couple of years ago I purchased a size 34 3D wonder bra number 1962. I have not been able to find this size since that time. Being a petite woman with a large bust has it’s challanges but this bras fit me perfectly with great support. I realize that this is an odd size. Do you no longer make this size? I have looked everywhere and I notice on the packaging that 34’s are not made in the larger cups.The 36 3D is just a bit too big otherwise I would buy it . Please let me know if you still make the size I need and where I could purchase it.Can bra’s be purchased on line?
Thanks Lynne
Hi Lynne!
The product is indeed available. You can find it in specialty boutiques.
Thank yo and have a nice day!
I am looking for the Wonderbra number 1611 38B an can’t find it anywhere can you help ?
Dear Ina,
sadly, this style has been discontinued. When you’ll go shopping, you can ask for the specific features you’re looking for at a speciality store and ask to be measured to find a great new bra !
Have an excellent day!
