how to measure bra size
It is a shocking truth that more then 50% of women, today, are buying and wearing the wrong bra size. If you feel that your bra is slipping, sliding or digging into your flesh, you are probably wearing the wrong size. It is important to measure the correct size of your bra, because an ill-fitting one can lead to a number of ailments, such as neck strain, backache and rashes. While a tight bra puts undue strain on the shoulders and the bust, a loosely fitted brassier results in drooping breasts. On the other hand, a perfect fitting bra supports the breasts, without putting strain on the chest wall, neck, back and shoulders.
How To Measure Your Bra Size
* Wear a bra, in which you feel comfortable, after removing your top.
* Now, take measurements of the area around your rib cage, straight under your breasts, using a measuring tape. Make a note of this number.
* Add five to the number that you have just noted down. This will be your bra size.
* It is equally important to figure out the cup size for your bra, to ensure a perfect fit. Make use of the same measuring tape for the purpose.
* Measure the area around your chest, fully covering your bust. Now, subtract your bra size from the number that you have noted down in this above step. This will help you figure out your cup size.
* If the difference is somewhere between 0 and ½ inch, your cup size is AA. In case the difference is ½ to 1 inch, A will be the cup size of your bra.
* The cup size of your bra will be ‘B’, if the difference is between 1 and 2 ½ inches.
* The difference ranging from 2 ½ to 3 ½ inches indicates that your cup size is ‘C’. Your cup size is ‘D’, if the difference ranges from 3 ½ to 4 ½ inches.
