00:00 I'm a bra fitting expert and I want to tell you why this bra is a bad fit.
00:05 So first off we're going to start with the cups.
00:08 As you can see here I have got quad boob, double boob.
00:13 This is so familiar to me when people come in for bra fittings.
00:18 I see it all the time.
00:19 Your breast needs to be encapsulated in the cup and not falling out.
00:24 When we look at the underwires of this bra you can't quite see
00:29 but there is a huge gap between my boobs so the underwire is not sitting flush.
00:35 It is floating away from my bust.
00:37 When I turn to the side we can see here that this is the underwire of my bra.
00:43 It is digging into breast tissue and it is really quite uncomfortable.
00:47 The backband is now being so stretched from here all the way to my back
00:54 that it's creating a U shape.
00:57 And my backband is all the way up here.
01:01 It's riding up, it's digging in and it's feeling very uncomfortable around this area.
01:07 My straps, the sliders on my straps have come right around to the front of my bra
01:13 and I can still pull them up so high.
01:16 It's all about the cups, the underwires, the straps and the backband.
01:21 Once you have those perfectly fitting they'll look like the bra in the next part.
