Measuring Bra Size

Many women overlook the importance of knowing their actual bra size and end up with badly suited undergarments. A bra which is loose or too tight can cause irritation and in some cases serious circulation problems and other issues. You have to know that bras are meant to be comfortable and fit you well. Another aspect of a badly fitted bra is that it affects your posture and appearance, making you feel annoyed and distressed for the entire day. Let us take a look at the quick guides to measure your bra size.

The first steps is to measure your band size. The band size can be determined by measuring the perimeter of your chest. It has to be done as accurately as possible because it will affect the way the bra holds up. The only way to do it is to have a flexible tape tightly wrapped around your chest. It is preferred to do while wearing your bra and measure right below it. Your band size is then found out using a conversion table (or simply by asking a sales lady).

Next you have to measure the cup size. It is in fact much easier to determine than you might think. All you need to do is to measure the peak point, circumference of your chest. The cup size is then obtained by subtracting that number from your band size and using a conversion table. Taking an example, if the difference is one inch, your cup size will be A and if it’s two inches, your cup is sized B and so on and so forth.

No matter how accurately the measurement was taken, you should not take for granted that your bra will fit if it matches your size. You have to consider factors like the brand, model, purpose of a particular bra and also the material used. Like how some bras are made more elastic than others. However the measurements should be pretty accurate if you had done them correctly.

Getting your bra size is a relatively simple task. For a process that takes you less than five minutes to complete to upkeep your appearance for a long time, don’t you think you want to do it at least once a while? Time to choose a comfortable bra!
