"It gives me back fat" "You can see my back fat" "I hate my back fat" " You can even see my back fat from the front"
What the actual fug is back fat?! WHO decided that women needed another area to worry about putting weight onto? I mean, really? It's a myth. That 'stuff' on your back is flesh, and funnily enough, we all have it. Unless you are what medical experts would class as obese you will not have back fat.
If you're getting the little rolly bits at the top of the back band, loosen the shoulder straps and drop the band lower, so that it's straight around your middle. Likewise, if you're getting fleshy bits under your arms at the front, slacken the straps and double check that the wire is not too small.
If the back band is the right size your bra should sit right around you ribcage, i.e your least 'back fatty' bit. If your are getting this mythical fat it means the band is too high.
Apparently a well-known store that offers bra fitting (I'll give you a clue "This is not just bra fitting, this is *** bra fitting") have been telling their customers that when you buy a bra you should always start on the tightest hook. Why, I hear you wonder? So that "when you feel uncomfortable or have eaten a lot you can loosen the band". I'm sorry, what? I'll admit, there have definitely been times (normally on or around Christmas) when I've had to unbutton my jeans but my bra? I don't put weight directly on them, much as it saddens me. Nor do I find my ribcage expanding at random. What rot.
If you are wondering what to look for in a proper fit remember to check out Rocket Science for a wee refresher ;)
