can i get an "amen"?
(a follow-on from the post titled "the gospel according to Bravissimo", earlier this month)
If the band of your bra chafes the skin on your sides, you may think the bra does not fit. And you're right -- but listen. If your waistband chafed, you'd know the pants were too small (or at least the waistband was too tight), right, so you'd go a little looser so the waistband could move a little more smoothly or freely against your skin. Which would be fine -- but a bra is not supposed to move against your skin, is it? If it moves, it's not holding anything where it is. So if the band is chafing, it means it's too big. Go down a band size, and remember what we've learned about adjusting the cup size accordingly.
I know! But trust me, you'll be happier.
