🔧 Common Bra Fitting Problems

❌ Problem 1: "Bra sizes in Pakistan don't match international brands"

Pakistani bras often follow Indian sizing, which differs from UK/US standards.

✅ Solution: Always measure yourself and compare with each brand's specific size chart. Our bras follow standard international sizing with detailed measurements.
⬆️ Problem 2: "Band rides up my back"

Why: Band size is too large, or straps are too tight.

✅ Solution: Go down a band size and up a cup size (example: from 36C to 34D). This is called "sister sizing."
📉 Problem 3: "Cups gap or wrinkle"
✅ Solution: Cup size is too large. Try going down one cup size while keeping the same band.
💥 Problem 4: "Breast tissue spills over cups"
✅ Solution: Cup size is too small. Go up one cup size. Many Pakistani women need larger cups than available locally.
😖 Problem 5: "Straps dig into shoulders"
✅ Solution: Band is providing insufficient support. Go down a band size. Your band should provide 80% of support.
🔍 Problem 6: "Can't find my size in stores"

Common issue: Limited size range in local markets (usually only 32B-36C).

✅ Solution: Shop online for extended sizing. We offer sizes 28A to 44F to accommodate all body types.
⚡ Problem 7: "Uncomfortable underwire poking"
✅ Solution: Wrong cup size or shape. The wire should follow your breast root, not sit on breast tissue.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most common bra size in Pakistan?
The most commonly worn size is 34B, but many women are actually sized incorrectly. Proper measurement often reveals sizes ranging from 32C to 36D.
How do I measure without a measuring tape?
Use a non-stretchy string or ribbon, mark the measurement, then measure against a ruler or meter stick.
Should I measure with or without a bra?
Measure with an unpadded bra or no bra for most accurate results. Heavy padding can add 1-2 inches.
Do bra sizes change with weight gain/loss?
Yes. Gain/loss of 3-5 kg can change your band and cup size. Remeasure every 6 months or after significant weight changes.
Why do different brands fit differently?
Brands use different size standards and cuts. Always check individual brand size charts, especially with international brands.
What if I'm between two sizes?
Order both if possible, or choose the larger cup size with a smaller band (sister size down).
Are Pakistani sizes smaller than international?
Pakistani/Indian sizing generally matches UK sizing, but quality and fit vary significantly by brand.
How tight should a new bra feel?
Snug but comfortable on the loosest hook. As it stretches with wear, you'll move to tighter hooks.
Where can I find extended sizes in Pakistan?
Extended sizes are limited in local stores. Online retailers like Liviyana offer the full range of sizes with home delivery across Pakistan.
