But the entire story lands on one simple fact to consider throughout.
What’s the perfect bra size for you and how to measure one? To find
your ideal bra size, shift your focus to two main key areas; band size
(32, 34, 36 etc.) and cup size (A, B, C etc) which we always get wrong.
Well most of the times.
Determine your Band Size
Either braless or wear a non-padded bra, while measuring your band
size. Take a measuring tape; put it snugly around your torso, just
under your bust around your rib cage. Make sure you are holding a
straight measuring tap at equal level that lays uncoupled across your
back. When inscribing the measurement, round to the nearest whole
inch. If you are getting an even rounded number add 4 more inches
to it, if odd add 5 more inches to it. (For example, 30 plus 4 inches
equals 34 inches or 29 plus 5 equals 34 inches). This final sum total is
your band size.
Usually band sizes come in even numbers i.e. 28, 32, 34, 36 etc, but if
you feel that you have an odd number say example 33, then you
should probably try both 32 and 34 and see which one fits you the
perfect.
Calculate you Cup Size
You get your perfect cup size by deducting your band size from your
bust measurement. Example 37 inches (bust) – 34 inches (band) = 3
inches. That’s a 34C
a) From waist bend forward at 90 degree angle, then put on your
bra and hook it. This will fortify that your breasts are
completely in the cups.
b) Jiggle your band so that it levels with the front.
c) Avoid baggy bras. You should be able to slip only one finger
underneath the band. If it allows more than one finger to pass,
you need a refit.
d) After securing the hook, make sure the straps are not falling off
your shoulders. If yes, shorten and adjust the straps
accordingly.
e) Stand in front of the mirror facing sides. If your breasts are
falling in between your shoulders and elbows, then you’ve
chosen a perfect sized bra.
f) If you need to move down a cup size for better fitting, go up
one band size and vice- versa.
Just keep one thing in mind, the average women go through
different bra sizes throughout her life. A body change its
structure and posture throughout, so does your bra size.
Choose wisely!
