to measure bra size correctly?

out of five women wear the wrong bra size
By Lisa Kramer
| Summary:
Based on several surveys completed, it is now
known that four out of five women wear the wrong
bra size either because they never found out the
correct bra size for them or their size has
changed since the last time they measured
themselves. This article explains how to
measure your bra size correctly. (Related:

The
best way to find out your correct bra size is to visit a
professional bra fitting expert. Most of them can
be found in a lingerie store or in a department
store. If not, ask a friend to help you out.
If none of this is possible, you can do it yourself.
Websites of lingerie and bra companies (e.g.
La Perla,
Victoria's Secret,
Wacoal, Emporio Lingerie, Just My
Size,
Fredericks of Hollywood,
Spicy Lingerie, 3 Wishes,
Studio Lingerie, etc. all have some information on bra
sizes.
What will you need?
- A tape measure (preferably with both inches and
centimeters since that will allow you to know
your sizes in both types of units and then you
will have no problem at all selecting the right
bra for you)
- A full length mirror

How to measure your bra size?
- Undress completely on the top.
- Measure yourself in inches around the ribcage below your bust. (Data A)
- Now measure yourself around the fullest part of your bust. (Data B)
- Add 5 (for odd numbers) and 4 (for
even numbers) onto the first measurement to get your bra size (in inches).
- To find out the cup size, calculate
the difference between data B and data and then use the chart below:

Finally,
you will never know your exact bra size till you try
something on. Each woman is different and that is
why trial and error works. If you need to make
minor adjustments to your bra, please do it. It
will do you a lot of good. And also remember that
size changes with weight, age, menstrual cycle,
pregnancy, etc. So it is a good idea to change
your bra as soon as you realize that the bra is too
tight or too loose.
