"    You know it&amp;#039;s bad when you&amp;#039;re a fashion editor wearing the wrong bra size. Yep, I was walking around town wearing a 34B when in all actuality\u2014and to my great surprise\u2014I&amp;#039;m a 32C. Much like you, I always thought my bra fit just fine. But Asia Hatten, one of Victoria&amp;#039;s Secret&amp;#039;s bra specialists, ruled that out pretty fast. &amp;quot;Yes, your bra looks like it fits,&amp;quot; she said, assessing my chest. &amp;quot;But you&amp;#039;re actually not getting any support.&amp;quot; Apparently my band size was too big and my cup size needed to go from a B to a C in order to prop up my girls. After my newfound size was revealed, I got to thinking that there&amp;#039;s zero chance I&amp;#039;m the only schmuck waltzing about town wearing the wrong size support system\u2014in fact, studies have found that the majority of women aren&amp;#039;t wearing the right size!\u2014so I figured I&amp;#039;d ask Hatten the key to finding a bra that fits.  1. Ask for help. &amp;quot;Have the bra specialist measure you (tightly around your waist, right under your boobs), and then ALWAYS try on the bra size she suggests,&amp;quot; Hatten explains. &amp;quot;The measurement only provides a guideline for your band size, but not your cup size. And since every bra fits differently, it&amp;#039;s crucial that you see how each bra feels on your body.&amp;quot; 2. Be open-minded about what size you might be. &amp;quot;Just because you ring in at a D cup size doesn&amp;#039;t mean your boobs are going to be as big as Pamela Anderson&amp;#039;s,&amp;quot; she says. I&amp;#039;ll back Hatten up here because if you saw me up close and personal, you&amp;#039;d say, &amp;quot;Oh, you&amp;#039;re probably a B, if not a full A,&amp;quot; but like I said, she told me I was a C! (Can you tell I&amp;#039;m psyched about my newfound bra size?) Moral of the story: Don&amp;#039;t get fixated on the number or cup size, and be prepared to let go of your old size. 3. Make sure the center gore of your bra lays flat against your torso. What&amp;#039;s the center gore, you ask? It&amp;#039;s the little spacer that sits on your chest connecting the two cups of your bra. (Behati&amp;#039;s pink bow above is currently resting on her bra&amp;#039;s center gore, if you want a visual.) Hatten says if ithe center gore is lifting up, that means your band size is too big. 4. Clasp it on the loosest hook-and-eye. Especially with a new bra. &amp;quot;When you hook it on the tightest closure right off the bat, you eliminate the option to tighten it up when your bra stretches out, and it will with regular washings and wear and tear,&amp;quot; says Hatten. 5. Watch that your cups don&amp;#039;t runneth over. &amp;quot;Your boobs shouldn&amp;#039;t be spilling out of your bra. If they are, it&amp;#039;s too small for you,&amp;quot; says Hatten. Conversely, &amp;quot;if there is a small gap between your breast and your bra, you may just need to adjust the straps. If there&amp;#039;s a large gap, then the bra might be too big. For the bra to fit just right, each cup should lay flat against your breast without cutting into your boob, and the band around your torso should be flush against your body, without making any indentations on your sides.&amp;quot;  Do you suspect you&amp;#039;re wearing the wrong bra size?
