Tips For Buying A Bra That Fits

=============

A new bra fit store in the King of Prussia Mall is on a mission to teach women about how to fit properly into their underclothes.

KYW's Hadas Kuznits reports that according to Susan Nethero, owner of Intimacy Bra Fit Specialists, a nationwide survey conducted by her company finds that proper bra sizing is a challenge for many women:

"About 85 percent of all women are wearing the wrong size bra, and that's a lot of women! That's about 90 million women in the United States over the age of 18."

She says a good fit starts with the proper band width, and she says many women wear bras that are way too big:

"Someone who's wearing a size 2 or 4 or 6 should probably be in a size 32 or maybe even a 30. If someone is a size 8 or 10, they're going to be in a size 34."

She says next time you're in a fitting room, try on a completely different size than you're used to, for fit:

"I would recommend to women that they go down at least one back width than where they are currently, and go up a cup size."
