" You&amp;#039;ve heard it before: Most women don&amp;#039;t know their proper bra size, and so end up wearing a bra that doesn&amp;#039;t fit them properly. To avoid uncomfortable bras, ask yourself these basic questions when in the dressing room: [_] Is the bra providing me with enough lift?  [_] Are my breasts fully in the cups?  [_] Is the band tight enough around my back?  [_] Are the shoulder straps comfortable?  [_] Is the underwire sitting comfortably instead of digging in to my skin?  [_] Does the center gore (the piece of fabric in between the cups) sit flat against my breastbone?  [_] Is it easy to adjust the straps?  [_] Are there no awkward gaps or bulges?  [_] Does the bra look OK underneath a t-shirt or other lightweight top? Next: Find out how we tested bras at the Good Housekeeping Research Institute "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
