Convertible Bra Plus Size

Begin with the Right Fit

The right means everything when it comes to finding the perfect bra. If you have the right fit, the straps on convertible bras should stay in place at all times, no matter which style you decide to wear. The bra should fit comfortably, with your breasts completely enclosed in the cups. If the bra contains underwire, it should not fit so tightly as to leave angry, red welts on your skin. It is also important to buy a bra that fits your body's measurements, which means going to get fitted. You can usually get a good fitting wherever you purchase your bras. A sales associate will run a tape measure around your bust, waist and hips areas to determine your size. Once you've got it, you can shop around the find the style of bra that will work best for you. Ideally, you should be measured every six months; however, annually will work as well.

Cotton Is Best for Bras

The best fabric to choose for bras is cotton. Cotton is comfortable and is found in a variety of styles that offer great support for your breasts, particularly when it comes to convertible bras. Other fabrics are pretty to look at, but do not offer the comfort and support as cotton. Additionally, cotton requires little in the way of care, while lace or satin bras often need to be hand-washed. Cotton bras can usually be machine-washed and tend to last much longer than fancier bras with radical embellishments. Adversely, cotton is not quite as racy or sexy as other fabrics. However, more companies have become more innovative with fun and sexy cotton styles.

In order to understand how a convertible bra should fit, you should understand its anatomy. A bra consists of cups (which hold your actual breasts in place), a band (which holds the entire bra in place), and straps that can be removed for a variety of styles. Straps should stay in place at all times. If they are constantly falling off your shoulders, and re-adjusting doesn’t help, you may need to be re-measured to be sure you are wearing the correct size. These styles help the bra to convert for wear with strapless, halter-style, tube top and spaghetti strap tops, to name a few. There are some bras that feature additional padding to give you additional fullness without adding more size.
