Hi Ladies,

One of the most-asked questions about bra fitting is how to accommodate uneven breasts.  For many women it is a frustrating task; seemingly most bras either fit their smaller side but cause the larger side to spill out, or fit their larger side, leaving a gap between their smaller side and the cup.

Additionally, this isn’t something that only affects a few of us - studies show that most women today have uneven breasts.  So what’s a girl to do?

In my opinion, an excellent solution is to wear a stretch lace bra.  As the name implies, the bra cups have stretch built into them, allowing the garment to fit both sides of an uneven bustline.  The challenge however is to find a stretch lace bra that stretches enough to accommodate the size differential while also lifting and supporting properly.  Not an easy task!

Make sure that any stretch lace bra that you buy has double layered cups - one layer of lace alone will not support properly.  The lace should be lined with a strong stretch fabric.  Once you find the right style, just adjust the straps for the perfect fit on both sides.

In Va Bien I recommend the new D’Lite Stretch Lace Bra, Style #618.  In addition to lined cups, it also features a sling along the lower section of both cups, for extra support to keep the girls held up and in.  It was picked by InStyle magazine in May as the best solution for uneven breasts!

Best,
