Bra Fit Concerns

Torso & Body Shape Solutions

Your torso length and body shape affect how a bra anchors, where the band sits, and how much support the wing can provide. Find your body shape below to discover the styles and features that work best for you.

Torso & Body Shape

Torso length is a ratio, not a fixed measurement — it describes how much working space a bra has between the underbust and the hip. Body shape affects how the band anchors, how tissue is distributed, and which wing heights can do their structural job.

Round body shape — tummy sensitive
Band Comfort & Anchoring
Round & Tummy Sensitive
A rounder body shape with fullness around the midsection. Pressure from a band across the stomach can cause discomfort, nausea, or shortness of breath — making band style and placement critical.
Key Fit NeedA band that curves up and away from the stomach rather than pressing across it — relieving pressure while still anchoring firmly at the back for full support.

Pear body shape — short torso
Band Anchoring & Wing Height
Pear & Short Torso
Hips wider than shoulders, with less clearance between the underbust and the hip. The shorter working space limits how tall a wing can be before it starts to roll up or restrict movement.
Key Fit NeedLess clearance between band and hip means wing height must be carefully matched to the available torso space. The band anchors below any soft tissue folds — not above them.

Straight body shape — long torso
Wing Height & Support
Straight & Long Torso
Shoulders and hips roughly equal in width with more clearance between the underbust and the hip. A longer torso gives the band more working space and allows taller wings to anchor effectively.
Key Fit NeedTaller wings can anchor fully and distribute bust load more effectively. A wider, firmer band takes full advantage of the available torso length for maximum support.
