If the band is a little tight you can get bra extenders, like these, to lengthen the band.

If the band is a little loose you can take your bra to a seamstress or tailor and have it taken in.

If the straps are constantly falling down you may need to wear a smaller band size.

If the straps dig into your shoulders you probably need to get a bra with a larger cup size and a smaller band size.

If the hooks break off you can have new ones sewn back on.

Plunging v-neckline: wear a plunging bra that attaches very deep at the center or try one of the silicone adhesive bras.

T-shirt or fitted top made with clingy fabric: you'll want to wear a seamless, full-coverage bra to smooth over the natural curves and bumps of your breasts. The reason you need to stick with a full-coverage option rather than a demi-cup is because you need to be sure the bra doesn't hit in the middle of your breast and have a dividing effect.

Working out? Your body shape may have changed even if you do not weight more. Change in shape means a change in bra.

Pregnant? Pregnant women are constantly changing. And it's not just your belly that's growing. Your breasts will change sizes several times over the course of your pregnancy. Make sure you're comfortable by shopping for different bras every time you start to feel constricted.

Lose weight recently? Almost without a doubt, if your dress size changes, your breast size changes. Time for a new bra!

That time of month? Most women don't even think about the fact that once a month they gain nearly an entire cup size. It's good to keep a bra on hand to make those days as comfortable as possible.
