Did you know that 80% of women are most likely wearing the wrong bra size?! Crazy right? Weirdly enough, I never really gave much thought to bra sizing until I came across Laura Tempesta’s TedTalk “You’ll Never Look At Bras The Same Way Again!” But, after watching her TedTalk and realizing that everything I thought I knew about bra sizing was wrong, I just knew we had to explore and unpack this topic in more detail on the podcast. So, here to help us clear up some of the confusion around bra sizing and to provide us with some helpful solutions is the bra expert herself, Laura Tempesta
