    85% of all women wear the wrong size bra. You may be one of them.

    Taking Your Measure
    Not only will a properly fitted bra feel more comfortable, but it will make your clothes fit and look better. First step: Learn how to do the math, so you can figure out your own dimensions.

    1. Stand straight and relax. Don't inhale and expand your rib cage as if you're about to blow out candles.

    2. Using a soft tape measure, measure all the way around your body, placing the tape measure right beneath your breasts (example: 30 1/2). Add five to that number, rounding up if necessary to the next even number (36). Congratulations: That's your band size.

    3. Next step: The cup. While wearing a bra, measure completely around the fullest part of your bust (across the nipple) without pulling tight. Make sure the tape measure goes around your entire back (38).

    4. Subtract the number from your band size (38-36=2). The result will indicate your appropriate cup size, based on the following guide:

    0=AA
    1=A
    2=B
    3=C
    4=D
    5=DD
    6=DDD


    Fit Tips
    The mistake many of you'll make is settling for a bra that's close enough, rather than holding out for one that's perfect. How to know if you've got an ideal model? The most important consideration is comfort. Here's what to check for next:
    • While putting on the bra, bend over and allow your breasts to fall naturally into the cups. Stand slowly and adjust the bra: Put a hand to each breast and raise the nipple so that it's at the center of the cup. The center of the bra should lie flat against the breastbone. Be sure there is no gap.
    • Check that the bra cups are smooth, with no wrinkles.
    • Finally, turn to the side and look in a mirror to see whether the back of the bra hikes up. If it does, then the bra doesn't fit correctly. The back of the bra should rest comfortably against the middle of your back.
    Bra FAQs
    Q: How can I keep my bra straps from falling off my shoulders?
    A:
    Shorten the straps upward on either side of the bra or wear a racer back (also known as a T-strap).
    Q: I'm on the heavy side. Can a bra help me smooth out my plump back?
    A:
    Look for bras that have a leotard band (one that scoops up instead of running straight across the back). You can also try a bra with a wider back band.
    Q: What do I do if my cup sizes are different?
    A:
    Fit the larger breast and then add padding to the smaller breast.



    Hope this will Help to Our Elakiri Girls:cool:

    A woman knowing her bra size is like second nature. However, as silly as it may sound, there are a number of women who actually wear the wrong bra size…about 90%. But how is that possible? In most cases, it’s due to human error. Ladies, it’s time to put your stubbornness aside and learn how to measure yourself and find your proper bra size.

    Unfortunately, trying to tell a woman she’s not the size she thinks she is can be compared to telling someone that their baby isn’t cute. While it can get pretty ugly, it is important to know the truth when it comes to measuring yourself so you’ll know for sure what size bra is right for you.

    The main thing to understand about bras is that they have two parts: the band size and the cup. The band is basically the strap that goes around your chest and to the back where the bra clasps. The cup is obviously the part of the bra that holds your breasts in place. To tell the difference between the band size and the cup when shopping for a bra is to look at the tag. For example, a bra that is labeled 34B means the band size is 24 inches and B is the cup size. The sizes for bras are numerous and vary not only from country to country but from manufacturer to manufacturer. So the first thing to remember is that not all bra sizes fit are the same way.

    What’s wrong with wearing the wrong size bra? Even if the bra you wear on a daily basis may feel comfortable, your breasts aren’t getting the proper support. This can result in discomfort of the chest area, unnecessary back pain, and other minor ailments. Another downside to wearing the wrong size bra is its appearance, both in and out of your clothes. Wearing a cup size that is too big can cause the bra to appear caved in or wrinkled, while a bra that is too tight in the cup area can force the breasts to bulge out and pinch the skin around the rib cage area. Not a pretty sight or a great feeling.

    As women get older, their breasts change, whether it’s because of having children, breastfeeding or simply aging. Because of this, a woman’s bra size will also change. But for a woman who started off with a size 36B, she may automatically assume this is the same size she will be. This results in buying this same size bra for years. The key to always knowing you’re wearing the right size is to measure yourself every other year or so. Fitting experts at your favorite department store can do bra fittings or you can do it yourself.

    The easiest way to measure yourself is to run a tape measure just under your breasts, with the ends meeting at the center of your rib cage. Note the number you measure at and add 5 inches. That is your band size. To measure your cup size, run the tape measure across the area above your breasts, under your armpits and around your back. If you get an odd number, round up to the next number to make it even. Now subtract this number from your first number. The following is an accurate way to determine your cup size: -1=AA, 1=A, 2=B, 3=C, etc.

    Also remember that bras lose their shape and support after a few months so always update your bras to get lasting support for years to come.
