Not all bras are curve-loving.
At ThirdLove, we know how difficult it can be to find the perfect fit and feel. That’s why we have put together the following tips for finding the best plus-sized bras.
When you’re shopping for a new plus-size bra, there are a few factors you need to keep in mind: your bra size, breast shape, and support needs.
Here are some tips to help you find a comfortable and supportive bra you’ll love:
At ThirdLove, we make it easy to find your perfect bra size in the comfort of your own home through our online Fitting Room Quiz.

If you have a soft tape measure at home and would like to find your bra size through your measurements, you can follow these steps:
Wrap a soft tape measure around your rib cage, right beneath where the bra band sits. Ensure the tape measure is firmly around you but not too tight. Take the number, in inches, and add two if it’s an even number. If it’s an odd number, add three. This sum will correspond to your band size, and those additional inches you added will make up for the size difference between when the elastic in the bra band is stretched or relaxed.
Wrap a soft tape measure around the fullest point of your breasts. This is usually where the nipple is located. Take the number, in inches, and subtract your band size from that number.
This number determines your cup size:
Did you end up with a number somewhere in-between? Not to worry! ThirdLove offers bras in half-cups so that you can always find the perfect fit.
All breasts are unique. In addition to finding your size, it’s essential to determine your natural breast shape.
Different bra styles are best suited for different breast shapes. For example, plunge bras are ideal for slender breasts while full-coverage bras are better for East-West breasts.
Knowing your breast shape will give you so much power while bra-shopping, allowing you to make a more informed decision.
The best plus-size bras will offer ample support for your breasts, shoulders, and back. Look for the following features in your next bra:
There are numerous types and styles of bras to choose from.
Find your ideal plus-size bra by considering your bra size, breast shape, and personal support needs. Also, opt for bras made from soft materials, such as cotton. These will be more comfortable and prevent skin irritation.
