How To
Measure Your Bra Size
All the lingerie experts tell us that the majority of women are
wearing the incorrect sized bra. This leads to problems with
even the right size dress hanging incorrectly spoiling the look.
If that dress is your wedding dress it is even more devastating.
Here is the way you should take your measurements at home for
perfectly fitting bra.
Step 1: Find your band size
Standing in front of a mirror, wrap the tape measure
snugly around your chest, just under or at the crease beneath
your breasts and flush against your back. Check in the mirror to
make sure the tape measure is parallel to the floor and flat
across your back. You may need a friend or partner to help.
Record this measurement in inches and write it down. Now you'll
need to do some basic math to find your proper band size.
Step 2: Find your cup size
Now, standing in front of the mirror as before, wrap the tape
measure around the fullest part of your breasts (at the nipple).
The tape measure should be straight, parallel to the floor and
flat across your back.
Example: If your Band measurement is 35, and your new
measurement, from the fullest part of your breast is 38, the
difference is 3, and your cup size is "C".
