Cup Volume DistributionBras with more volume towards the center or apex are ideal.
ProjectionChoose bras with projection, allowing for more room in the center.
Strap PositionBras with straps closer to the center (not too wide apart) to support narrow shoulders.
PaddingLight padding or molded cups can help with shaping.

Suggested Bra Sizes

For narrow breasts, accurate measurement is key. Here’s how to measure:

  1. Measure Underbust: Wrap the measuring tape snugly around your rib cage just under your bust.
  2. Measure Bust: Wrap the measuring tape around the fullest part of your bust.
  3. Cup Size: Subtract your underbust measurement from the bust measurement to find your cup size:
    • 1-inch difference = A cup
    • 2-inch difference = B cup
    • 3-inch difference = C cup, etc.
