Naughty and Nice Lingerie

Hello fellow eBayers,

     I have sold a lot of bras, and from time to time, I have had women tell me, "I usually wear such and such a size, but this one doesn't fit."  There are many explanations as to why this may occur.

     Whether you size has changed slightly or dramatically, there may be very simple explanations.  Perhaps that "time of the month" has changed your size temporarily.  Perhaps a change in diet has sparked a change in your figure.  Recognize this, and perhaps you can go "back to normal," if there is such a thing.  Perhaps you are unfamiliar with a particular manufacturer.  As with most clothing, different manufacturers produce different measurements.  I suggest that if you are looking to purchase different manufacturers, then you should try on their items with a department or specialty store before purchasing them online.  I would hate for someone to make a purchase, just to be disappointed and just wind up trashing or stuffing the lingerie in the back of the drawer. 

     Another reason you may experience difficulty with a bra size may be that you have never been properly measured for a bra.  In a lot of cases, women do not take the time to properly measure themselves.  You do not have to have it done by someone else, which may cause uncomfort or embarrassment at times.  I hope that by providing information on measuring your bra size, you can properly measure yourself and lower the possibility of buying the wrong size.  If you have any questions, please feel free to email me.  I hope to see you shopping within my lingerie Ebay store located at Naughty and Nice Lingerie.  Thanks again and have a great day!

Measure for a Perfect Bra Fit

Preparing to measure:  For best results, measure yourself wearing an unlined or lightly lined bra.

Step one: Band size

Using a soft tape measure, measure around the ribcage, directly under the bust.  The tape should rest on the lower band of your bra.  Be sure the tape is snug, smooth across the back and level with the front.

Add 5 to this measurement to obtain your band size.  For example, if your ribcage measurement is 29" + (5) = 34" band size.  If the resulting band size is an odd number, such as 33", you can usually go up to the next even band size (34"), but you may also want to try on the next lower band size (32"). 

Step two: Cup Size

Measure completely around the bust at the fullest point, holding the tape measure straight, but not tight.  The difference between this measurement and your BAND size is your cup size.  Each inch of difference is equal to one cup size.  For example, if your band size is 34" and your bust measurement is 35", then you wear an "A" cup. 

If the difference is less than an inch, then the cup size is = to AA cup     1 inch = A cup,     2 inches = B cup     3 inches = C cup     4 inches = D cup     5 inches = DD cup and so one.  While this method is generally reliable,  every womans figure is different and results may vary slightly.  We recommend that your try several sizes and styles to find the best fit for you.
