Measuring your Bra Size

Around 80% of women are wearing the wrong Bra size. Are you one of them?

A well-fitting bra should be firm around the body yet comfortable towear. The underband should be level so when you look in a mirrorsideways, the front and the back of the bra are level. If you arewearing an underwired bra, the wires should touch your breastbone,encasing your breasts without any discomfort.

  1. Over-bust - Measure the fullest part of your bust
  2. Under-bust - Measure directly underneath your bust
  3. Waist - Measure loosely around your waist
  4. Hips - Measure the widest part of your hips

 

Ensuring you know your correct Bra and Cup size is essential for an excellent fit
 

To establish the correct Bra size

Take a tape measure, hold it straight and firmly measure around yourrib cage, across your back and just beneath your bust. If themeasurement is even add 4 inches to it. If the measurement is odd, add5 inches. Now you have your bra size.

To establish the correct Cup size

Measure yourself as before, but this time across the fullest part ofyour bust. Hold the tape measure firmly, but not so tight that itflattens you. If there is no difference between this measurement andyour bra size, then you are an A cup. If the measurement is 1 inchgreater then you are a B cup, 2 inches greater a C cup, 3 inchesgreater a D cup and 4 inches greater a DD cup. You now have your cupsize. See below for more details
