Despite their ubiquity in underwear drawers across the globe, over half of women are in the wrong size. Not only does it look and feel better when you have the proper fit, it also has practical implications (ie. no back pain and, according to Oprah, age-reversing abilities). We talked to experts to get to the bottom of the issue, and how to make sure that next time you purchase lingerie, you're getting the perfect fit.Journelle-bra-on-model-lacePhoto: Courtesy of JournelleThe Cause Of Size ConfusionIf you're of average build, you've probably been told at some point in your life you're a 34B. Allison Beale, the Marketing & Brand Director at Journelle, notes that the near-universal belief that every woman fits this size is a major contributor"You'd think it's just a math equation of measurements but it's not."Marissa Vosper and Lauren Schwab, co-founders of Negative Underwear, concur—although 34B might be fit-model measurement of record in lingerie (similar to what a 27 is in denim), there is no industry standard for bra fit, leading to small but impactful disparities."You'd think it's just a math equation of measurements but it's not—every brand has their own version of a 34B," Vosper and Schwab note. This rubric then of course affects the measurements of other sizes in the same line. "Sizing is proprietary to the brand, but also depends on fabrication—stretch lace versus rigid lace, cotton, etc.," Beale also notes.Courtesy of On Gossamer Courtesy of On GossamerCourtesy of Negative Underwear Courtesy of Negative UnderwearWhere To Start With SizingWith so many factors affecting the fit of bras, where's a girl to start? Though it might be an imperfect process, the natural starting point is, of course, taking your measurements. That, in addition to actually trying on a variety of styles—whether you purchase in-store or order online—is the way to find your true match."Fitting is much more of an art than a science."According to Vosper and Schwab, "Fitting is much more of an art than a science, so sometimes trial and error, with the eye and help of an expert, can ensure you walk away with a bra that fits and feels great." Aka be patient—working in tandem with a pro and taking the time to try different things will eventually result in an informed purchase.If you prefer to fit yourself in the privacy of your own home, you can still get an accurate read—Beale explains:"Start below your arms and pull a measuring tape snugly across your chest for your band size [the numerical part of the size]. Do not squeeze! Take your second measurement around your back and the apex of your breast. This will be a larger number. Then subtract your first (smaller) measurement from the second to get your cup size. If your first measurement was 32 (your band size) and your second measurement was 36, subtracting 32 from 36 equals four or a D cup—as each inch equals a cup size, starting at A."All In The DetailsWhile the these two measurements are the key components of a size, Vosper and Schwab advise to consider other elements of fit as well:"In a well-fitting bra, the gore—the small center piece connecting the bra cups—should lay flat at your sternum, and shouldn't pull or buckle. The bra band should fit snug around your ribs without riding up your back or digging into your flesh. You shouldn't be able to pull it far from your chest either—the band provides the majority of support in a bra, so it should be comfortably snug. If your band is fitting well and supporting you properly, your straps shouldn't dig. Often times if a band is too loose, the back will ride up and the straps will dig in as a result—essentially the support that should have been achieved in the band is being transferred to the straps, which is pretty uncomfortable. Ideally your underwire or cup should cover the full breadth of your breast tissue, from center chest/sternum to right under your underarm. If you have too small of a cup/wire for your frame, you'll get wires digging into flesh. Finally, you should like the shape your bra gives you with a t-shirt on (from the front and the side)."Landing The Perfect FitIf it's been a while since you made a new purchase, it's definitely time, as innovations in technical design have evolved the way bras fit the body."Historically, many women chose to wear bras that were larger than needed around the rib cage in their quest for comfort and ease. Today’s bras are made with superior fabrics and trims that offer more fit flexibility," says Debby Gedney, President of On Gossamer. As in—you now have a little more leeway in between sizes, so sizing up is no longer your only option.Vosper and Schwab agree: "What we've found is that most women are wearing a band size that's too big for them (or bras that are old and stretched out). That said, when you adjust your size down from a band perspective, you often need to size up in the cups to account for shifting proportions (e.g., from a 34B to a 32C, or a 36C to a 34D)."Finally, embrace the journey; as with many things, it's unlikely you'll get it right the very first time."During your fitting, don't get too hung up on your measured size. At best, this is your absolute size; at worst a starting point for you to begin your bra trying-on journey," says Beale.Do all of the above and maybe, just maybe, the notion of ill-fitting lingerie will one day be unknown to us women (and ahem, our "girls").Marquee image: Courtesy of On GossamerPRETTY LITTLE UNDERTHINGSJournelle Juliette Demi BraJuliette Demi BraJournelle, $68On Gossamer Mesh Bump-It-Up BraMesh Bump-It-Up BraOn Gossamer, $46Negative Sieve Non-Wired BraSieve Non-Wired BraNegative Underwear, $55Morgan Lane Dauphine Eloise BraDauphine Eloise BraMorgan Lane, $198On Gossamer Mesh Convertible T-Shirt BraMesh Convertible T-Shirt BraOn Gossamer, $42Journelle Victoire Plunge BraVictoire Plunge BraJournelle, $58Cosabella BodysuitNever Say Never Racerback BraCosabella, $55victorias secret leopard lace braLeopard Lace Flirt Demi BraVictoria's Secret, $60SHAREPINTWEETADD OR VIEW COMMENTSPUBLISHEDApril 9, 2016DESIGNERSJournelle / Negative Underwear / On GossamerTRENDSExpert Tips / Lingerie Box-of-style-leadNEXTUPMarch 30, 2016A Season Of Chic: The 411 On The Box Of StyleRELATED STORIES Acne At Every AgeMay 14, 2016How To Cope With Acne At Every AgeExpert tips for beating breakouts once and for all.

Had a basic wooden non spinning pole when we were looking to replace our flag. We purchased this Free Spinning pole at the same time, and it did not disappoint!! Has the flag gotten caught, yes. Is it the pole's fault, no. I've seen several reviews with pics saying "Didn't Work" that's not fair. We are a Dis. Vet family, our flag flies 24/7, unless weather is severe, and I am retired and home most all day every day, the flag hangs at our front door... it's gotten caught up when it's wet (which it often gets from our sprinkler system) or when the erratic South GA winds come in two different directions at once, but other than that... it keeps our flag flying without tangling! We are very happy with our purchase, would def. recommend, and if needed will certainly buy again!!

One month of use and pole broke in half with light winds. Unable to return because 12 days beyond return period.Note: I was contacted by Grace Alley - they agree, that the pole should not have broken and wanted to stand behind their product. They are sending a free replacement . Have to appreciate a seller, that stands by their products and does the right thing without a hassle. Thank You Grace Alley.

I bought a different type of flag and flag pole in the past. Well I would constantly have to go out there and untangle Ol Glory. Well I don't have that problem with this pole. It seems to be alot more sturdy and solid. A very good investment which gives this ol veteran a chance to show off my patriotism by letting ol glory fly outside the house without getting tangled.

The Grace Alley spinning flag pole works great. We get some very strong winds here and our flag has not gotten tangled up even once and has withstood the strong winds without getting bent. Highly recommended.

This is a very nice high quality flag! It doesn't get wrapped around the pole like the first one I bought that was cheaper. I bought it right before the 4th of July and I'm keeping it up year-round.

Splendid artistry.

It does what it says it’s going to do. I have the black version And it is super attractive. I will be buying more. And I will probably be gifting these to people around the holidays as well. When I find something I like this good, I usually like to buy a few back ups for myself as well. And this is no exception.It’s basically set it and forget it.
