Naughty and Nice Lingerie

Hello fellow eBayers,

     Have you shopped for a bra, and found that you are having a difficult time finding your bra size?  Have you taken the time to properly measure yourself.  To learn how to properly measure yourself, check out my other guide that details How to Measure your Bra Size.  Even then, you may have a popular size bra that sells out quickly.  Well, don't just pass up that pretty bra that you just can't do without.  Learn how to get your "sister" bra size. 

     What is a "sister" size?  This is when, once you have been fitted for a bra, whatever your band size is, you can go up or down into different sizes for more options in bras you would love to have!  Of course, this is an accurate, but general rule, and may not be for everyone, as each woman is different in shape.  You should try on the different sizing within a lingerie store, before making purchases online, to avoid a possible disappointment.  If you have any questions, please feel free to email me.  Also, check out my lovely lingerie at Naughty and Nice Lingerie

How to measure your "sister" size:

Take your original band and cup size and go up to the next size in the band, while going down to the next cup size.

or

Take the original band and cup size and go down to the next band size, while going up to the next cup size. 

Some examples of this are:

40C = 38D

34B = 32C

38B = 36C

Many different style shirts require different styles of bras aswell!

Try a low, plunging demi cup (half cup, covers less of your breast) for those v-neck shirts you have.

Or for support, try a full-coverage, lined bra with underwire.

Push-up bras give you cleavage, while padded bras fill you out more.

For more lingerie terms and definitions, please check out my other guides.  Thanks again and hope to see you shopping with Naughty and Nice Lingerie!
