Why do my breasts fall out of the top of my bra?

The bra is not tight against the body between the breasts but lies 'on top'. This is usually because the band is too big or the cups are not deep enough and thereby force the bra band away from the body. If you have an underwired bra, the underwires should be tight against the body and separate the breasts.

Why do my breasts always fall out of my bra?
