Like when you found out what sex was or
that Lance Bass is gay, discovering that you've been wearing the wrong
bra size is a life-altering moment.
Unfortunately, a lot of women are still living in the dark, says Lori Kaplan, director of Bra*Tenders lingerie store in New York City. And ignorance is definitely not bliss. "When you're wearing the right-sized bra, you can look 10 pounds thinner and 10 years younger in a minute," says Kaplan. That's because, when your girls are lifted, your waist is more distinguishable and your torso looks longer, she says.
Though Kaplan recommends getting professionally fitted for a bra once
a year, you can assess how your goods look in your current bra with
the pointers below from Kaplan. Are your boobs hanging tight—or are they
ready for an upgraded boulder holder?
