What if my breasts are two different sizes?
Breast asymmetry is completely normal — most women have at least a slight size difference between their breasts. You don't need to buy two different bras to get a great fit.
The most practical approach is to fit the larger breast for comfort, then adjust the strap on the smaller side to close any gap. A small insert on the smaller side can also create a balanced, symmetrical appearance. For women who've had breast surgery, inserts are especially helpful and can be positioned in different ways depending on the location of a lumpectomy or other procedure.
Our fitters work with asymmetry every day and can show you the best techniques and styles for your specific situation at any Allure location. No appointment required.
