Here's some sage advice from the stylist to the stars and royals Jacqui Stafford in her book The Wow Factor: Insider Style Secrets for Every Body and Every Budget.
Here are four ways to tell if you are wearing the wrong size bra and how to buy the correct one.
Scenario: Your boobs are spilling over the top, bottom or sides of the cup.
Solution: The cup size is too small. Go up a cup size - not band size.
Scenario: There's a gap in the bra cup.
Solution: The cup size is too big. Go down a cup size - not band size.
Scenario: The band across your back forms an upside-down "V".
Solution: The band is too loose. Go down a size in the band size so it sits straight across your back.
Scenario: You take off your bra and can see the outline on your skin.
Solution: Your bra is too tight. Go up a band size.
Scenario: You lost/gained weight and your bras no longer fit properly. You are no longer sure of your bra size.
Solution: Many bra sizing calculators are on the internet. All you will need is a soft or cloth tape measure and enter your measurements.
Additionally...
The best way to put on a bra is to lean forward and have your breasts fall into the cups. Stand straight, and fasten the back.
Make sure that your bra fits comfortably on the loosest hook first. So as the bra stretches due to washing and wearing, you can use the tighter hooks.
