It is estimated that more
than 70% of women are wearing the wrong size bra - are you one of them? Getting
the right fit from your foundation will help make your clothes look and fit the
best!
Follow these simple directions to find your Perfect Fit:
.
Step 1:
Measure underneath the bust line and make sure to measure tightly, also making
sure the tape is straight across the back. If you come up with a half
measurement, like 32 ½, round UP to 33". If you measure between 32 and 32
½, round DOWN.
If your measurement is an odd number, add 5 inches
If your measurement is an even number, add 6 inches
Special Note which
applies to most of us: If your underbust measurement is 33 inches or more, add
only 3 inches (be sure to round up to the next even number).
This is your BRA SIZE
Step 2:
Measure over the most prominent point of your bust line (use your nipples as
your guide).
This is a looser measurement. Make sure the tape is straight. Write this number
down.
SUBTRACT your first measurement (BRA SIZE) from this second measurement.
From this result, you can find your CUP SIZE by referencing the table
below.
Personal Example: My first measurement (left-hand photo above) is 37".
It's ODD (and more than 33"), so add 3" as opposed to 5". This
means my bra size is 40".
Second measurement (right-hand photo above) is 41". The difference is
1".
That makes me a 40A (Not much to write home about, but better than a 40AA I
suppose)
