How to Properly Measure Yourself for the Perfect Fitting Bra
Finding a bra that fits perfectly can feel like a daunting task, but with a little guidance, you can measure yourself accurately at home. The right bra not only provides comfort but also boosts confidence. Whether you're shopping for an everyday bra or a sports bra for your active lifestyle, these tips will help you find the perfect fit.
Step-by-Step Guide to Measuring Yourself
Step 1: Measure Your Band Size
- What You Need: A soft measuring tape.
- How to Measure: While wearing a non-padded bra, wrap the tape around your ribcage, directly under your bust. Make sure the tape is snug but not too tight. Note this number - it’s your band size.
- Adjust for Accuracy: If the number is odd, round it up to the next even number, as bra sizes are typically even.
Step 2: Measure Your Bust Size
- What You Need: The same soft measuring tape.
- How to Measure: Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your bust, keeping it level across your back and loose enough to insert a finger under it. Note this number.
Step 3: Calculate Cup Size
- Formula: Subtract your band size from your bust measurement.
- Cup Size Guide: Use the difference to determine your cup size:
- 1 inch: A
- 2 inches: B
- 3 inches: C
- 4 inches: D
- …and so on.
