body and considerably on us too. It can help us look confident and

Finding a perfectly tailored and fitted bra can be a withering job

whether we’re large-breasted, small-breasted or whether we stand

somewhere between the queue. 80% of the women all across the

National Library of Medicine. Let’s look at the simple yet helpful tips

that can help us in picking the correct bra.

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!
