Getting the right fit

Lingerie should transform your body and make you feel amazing. If yours doesn’t, it could simply mean you’re wearing the wrong bra. Experts believe 80% of women have on the wrong size bra – with a back size that is too big and a cup size that is too small. This results in poorly supported breasts and an unflattering figure.

The correct bra on the other hand can do wonders. As well as offering the right amount of support, it puts all of your curves back in the right places and can totally transform your figure, your silhouette and your confidence. And get you back to loving your body again.

The only way to get an accurate measurement is to get fitted. It’s not something you can successfully do yourself. Fauve has dedicated consultants in department stores across the UK, but any department store and lingerie boutique should be able to help.

Even if you’ve been fitted before, it’s worth going back regularly – usually every 6 months. Weight changes and age can all affect your bust, so your bra size can fluctuate a lot more than you would think.
