Bra Shapes

BRA STYLE GUIDE

Once you have your measurements figured out (see measuring instructions here), it’s time to find bra styles that will work best for you!
The first step is to have a look at your breast type. In other traditional systems, it’s important to know if your breasts are shallow or projected. This is how much volume your breasts have relative to the base they are sitting on.

PROJECTION (VOLUME)

With the Elizabeth Valentine system we are measuring volume, so you don’t really have to worry about if you’re projected or shallow. It’s already taken care of. What we are concerned with is where the volume is located (see next section). There are endless combinations of breast types; you might not fit neatly into one type.

 

FULLNESS (LOCATION OF VOLUME)

Some bra styles work better than others depending on the location of fullness of the breasts. There are endless combinations of breast types; you might not fit neatly into one type.

BREAST SPACING

The space between the breasts can greatly determine the types of cups that will fit best. There are endless combinations of breast types; you might not fit neatly into one type.

SHOULDER

Depending on whether your shoulders are narrow, sloping, or possibly both, certain bra styles may work better.
