Bra question...

I love my Natori bras from Nordstrom (and I know they're fitted correctly since I got it done there), but my bra is no longer flush against my chest (does that make sense)?

It is almost like the top outline/part of my bra is kind of "lipping" forward and now the bra outline is showing through my shirt.

Does this happen to anyone else's bra? Is it time to get something new? I've had it for about 1 year but I do admit I love it so I consistently wear it

Did you gradually use the tighter clasp? My bras tend to last me about a year, after which I need to get a new one and start on the loosest clasp again.

This has happened to me after awhile too. I think its just the bra sort becoming more worn. I notice it happens after washing.

ETA: This only happens to my Spanx bras, now that I think about it, because non of my Calvin Klein bras do this, nor has my Soma one, but that one is newer.

This. You start off at the biggest width clasp and work your way in as the bra starts getting loose with wear & tear.

Yes when I first got it, I used the loosest clasp and now I am at the tightest clasp. I can only assume it's losing its shape from consistent wear and then washing?

You should have a few bras so that you can rotate them. You wear bra A on Monday, give bra A a rest on Tuesday and wear bra B. And so forth.

But a year or so of constant wear and washing sounds about right that it's time to replace with a new bra.

Good point. I do wear other bras, but I keep coming back to this one since it's so comfortable and fits oh so well. I knew I should have gotten more of these Natoris.
