The BUSTED Fit Formula™
A simple, confidence-boosting guide to help you find your perfect fit without any measuring tape.
B — Begin with the Band
✓ Does the band sit horizontally around your body?
✓ Is it firm and anchored — not riding up your back?
✓ Does it stay in place when you lift your arms?
✓ Do you feel supported even before tightening the straps?
If no, you likely need a smaller band.
U — Understand Your Underwire
(Skip if you're wearing a wire-free bra)
✓ Does the underwire sit directly under your breast tissue?
✓ Is all your tissue inside the wire — none spilling underneath or at the sides?
✓ Does the wire lie flat against your ribcage without digging?
If no, you may need a bigger cup (spillage) or smaller band (floating wire).
S — Smooth Your Cups
✓ Do the cups lie smooth with no wrinkles or collapsing?
✓ Is there no spillage at the top (“quad-boob”)?
✓ Is all your breast tissue fully inside the cup?
✓ Do the cups sit upright — not tipping forward?
If no, adjust your cup size:
→ Spilling = bigger cup
→ Wrinkling = smaller cup
T — Tack Your Gore
✓ Does the centre panel sit flat against your chest?
✓ Is it touching the sternum, not floating or leaning?
✓ Does it feel secure but not painful?
If no, your band is too big or your cup is too small.
E — Ease the Straps
✓ Can you fit two fingers comfortably under your straps?
✓ Do they stay on your shoulders without slipping?
✓ Are they not digging in or leaving shoulder grooves?
✓ Are they guiding support — not carrying the whole weight?
If no, adjust: → Digging = loosen → Slipping = tighten after fixing the band
D — Determine Your Shape
✓ Do you feel centred, supported and balanced?
✓ Does this bra complement your natural shape?
✓ Do you like the silhouette — lifted, rounded, confident?
✓ Does nothing pinch, pull or strain?
If no, try a different style, not a different size. Your perfect fit is a combination of size and shape.
Your Fit Should Feel Like Support, Not Struggle
A well-fitted bra should:
✔ Lift you
✔ Support you
✔ Improve your posture
✔ Reduce discomfort
✔ Make clothes fit better
✔ Boost quiet confidence
If something feels wrong, the issue isn’t your body — it’s the bra.
