How to find the Perfectly Fitting BRA
Perfect Fit Guide: To find your perfect fit, measure as follows:
While wearing a bra, wrap a tape measure snugly around your rib cage, directly under the bottom bra edge.
The tape should be snug, but not tight. Now, add 5 (for example, if you measure 29", add 5 = size 34). If you measure over 33", add 3 = size 36.
If the total adds up to an odd number, such as 37, try the next size up (size 38).
This represents the bra number (32, 34, 36, etc.). To get your cup size, measure over the fullest part of the bust.
The difference between this measurement and the bra number is your cup size (see chart below):
If the difference is:
Your cup size is: Up to 1/2" = Nearly A Cup (NA)
1" = A Cup 1-11/2" = Nearly B Cup (NB)
2" = B Cup 2-21/2" = Nearly C Cup (NC)
3" = C Cup
4" = D Cup
5" = DD Cup
6" = DDD Cup
Example: Your bra number is 36 and your bust measurement is 38. Subtract 36 from 38 and you get a 2" difference. 2"= B cup. So your correct bra size is 36B.
Remember to replace your bra every 3 months.
