Wire width

I'm trying to evaluate my new bras and I'm unsure about how to determine the width I need. The back edges of my breasts are blurry so I don't know exactly where they end. I marked the edge as good as I could, put on a bra and waited for the marks to come and I'm still not sure actually. It seems like it fits okay... I can feel the wire a bit on my bigger side. Does that mean the wire is a bit too narrow? Is it that simple? And when you feel the wire outside the smaller boob, does that mean you feel it against the ribs? It seems like that would be logical, but bras are confusing.

  • Try lifting your arms and looking at the side of your boob. That's the only way I can clearly see where my breast tissue ends. You can also try the push test (doesn't work on me though).

  • Yes, that's how I did it.
