You love them and you hate them. Maybe that's because approximately 75% of us are wearing the wrong size bra.
The multi-billion dollar bra industry started out 100 years ago with two silk handkerchiefs held together to form the first bra. And today the bra, once called the "gilded cage," is so popular that fashion trends move the intimate wear into outer wear.
Remember getting your first bra? Next time you go bra shopping ask a fitting specialist at the store to measure you and help you find the right size.
News flash: A bra can expand as much as four inches after only a few washes and with wear. Yikes! Next time the bra you try on at the store feels snug, it just might feel better in a very short time.
And remember this bra sizing adage: down in the back and up in the cup.
Happy 100th Birthday to the bra!
