I think most clothes are designed to fit women with 34B to 36C size boobs, so any smaller or any larger and you're going to have problems. I always used to have problems with filling the chest area when I was an AA. Now that I've grown to a B (although with a small band size, which makes things awkward) it's much easier.
I don't think breast implants will ever have a great impact on fashion because currently it is still too heavily associated with the 'plastic' look and being very fake and trashy. (Note: I'm not saying implants make anyone that way, but there's no denying it is still associated with those traits!) I don't think many will ever be able to link those ideas to high fashion.
The article meme posted doesn't make sense sometimes or actually gives the wrong advice!
In the back, the lower edge of the band should anchor below the blades. The lower the back fits, the more support you get.
Not if you have small, highly placed breasts. This part reminds me of when an extraordinarily large-breasted woman considered herself the 'bra expert' because of her unusual size and said the best way to wear a bra is around the waist.
Not so for more average sizes!
The common problem is when the bra rides up in the back. This may indicate the cups are too small or the cups are pulled too high. Check the shoulder straps and adjust to a comfortable length, ensuring straps do not cut into the shoulders. The band may be too big, therefore not anchoring the bra properly. Try hooking your bra more snugly. If neither works, try the next smaller size.
The bra riding up at the back is actually a problem because the
band is too large! You should never transfer support to the shoulder straps if this happens because it is the band itself that should be giving the vast majority of support and
not the shoulder straps. If you follow the first piece of advice you inevitably
will have the straps cutting into your shoulders, especially if you're large-chested.
If your straps keep falling off my shoulders, that means that either the straps are too long, or the cups may be too big. Since you're not filling out the top of the cup, your straps will slide down your shoulder. Try a smaller cup size.
This is also to do with having too big of a band size, or with the type of cup (I know because I've had that problem myself). Not all women have perfectly round breasts; some have less breast tissue on top and more on the bottom (more or less a straight slanted line down to the nipple and then rounded underneath). Instead of getting a smaller cup size, a woman with this shape should look for bras whose cups finish earlier, such as balconette/demi-cup bras.
When you gain or loose weight you may notice stretch marks running up and down your bust. Those stretch marks can be caused by not wearing a bra or wearing one with loose support. The bust tissue is breaking down and the bust is dangling - hence, the stretch marks. The remedy is to wear a well constructed, supportive bra. And note that even a smaller bust can get stretch marks if the right bra isn't worn.
Now this is just complete BS. How can anyone trust anything written in this article after such an idiotic 'fact' is at the end? You do
not get stretchmarks from not wearing a bra. Stretchmarks are caused by growth stretching the skin too quickly for it to keep up and is also tied in to genetics. If you balloon from an AAA to a D in a short time you are most likely going to get stretchmarks whether you wear a bra or not. This is just as ridiculous as saying that if you get stretchmarks on your hips it is because you didn't wear control-top pantyhose 24/7 during puberty.
