Support vs. Comfort?  Traditional?  Soft Cup?
Underwire?  Sport Bra?  Definition?
Scoop Back?  Racer Back?  Organic?  All Cotton?

  1. The first thing to consider when selecting a bra is your need for support versus your desire for comfort.  Those two things can be compatible, but aren't always.  
  2. The next item of immediate concern should be whether you want a traditional bra, a soft cup "daywear" bra, a bra with underwire, or a "sport" bra.
  3. Then, do you want some "definition" for your chest or do you want to be flattened?  
  4. Do you want a scoop back or a racer back?  
  5. Do you need a bra that clasps in front?
  6. Do you need all cotton, no nylon, no lycra, or can there be a combination?  
  7. Does the elastic need to be covered or do you have some flexibility?  
  8. Do you require organic cotton?
