Bra Too Big


Bra Too BigBra Too BigIn those days whalebone corsets were the order of the day, completely rigid with no give, nothing at all like modern materials. This method tends to lead to women wearing bras that are too large in the back and too small in the cup. It is easy to tell if this is the case. If the back rides up and the straps fall down, the band size is too big and you are wearing a bra that does not offer the support it should be giving you.Bra Too BigPoking Wires -- Feeling the sensation of poking wires against your skin? This is one tell tale sign that your bra is too big for you. If the cups are too big, the wire would tend to move around instead of being placed firmly to support the breasts.Bra Too BigPuckering Cups -- If those cups crinkle and pucker when you put them on, you are wearing a bra size that is way too big for your breasts. Find a smaller size that flatters your figure.Bra Too BigBra Too BigBra Too Bighttp://meetthefamous.com/class/thumbnail2.php?filename=/data/meetthefamous.com/i/iamacamera/1236905710_bai_ling7577_1.jpg&x=395&&y=553&crop=y&nw=395&nh=553http://images.mirror.co.uk/upl/m4/may2009/7/8/m-s-bra-pic-pa-142240821.jpgBra Too Big
