What does bra straps riding up mean again

Just noticed that the back of my bra seems to have ridden up my back and doesn't go straight across iykwim.
This means something and I have a feeling it is that the bra is too big...if that is the case yay!

Can anybody confirm or enlighten me?

yes, it means it's too big

You've adjusted the shoulder staps too tightly?

Defo means it is too big. I have had quite a lot of dealings with bra fitters lately. Get yourself some new ones. Is this good news?

Erm, why?

I am trained fitter (used to fit nursing bras in a past life...that is defo a sign of the numerical measurement being too big.....you can try wearing the bra on it's smallest setting...if it still rides up maybe go for a fitting at m&s

Still nursing and it is a nursing bra. I can't really get it any tighter around the ribs as it will be all fat bulgy but it could mean that my humungous breasts are shrinking a little which is great news. Potentially having to go bra shopping is not good news mind you as it is my most hated thing.

I waited until I had stopped feeding and even then, my boobs changed size a bit. My last b/fing ended last March and I got fitted for new bras in August and was fitted again last week and was still the same size as in August so at last I feel I have stabilized.
