It can be difficult for women to find the perfect size bra. Many women can feel overwhelmed with the variety of styles, sizes, and brands available. It is vital to have a bra that fits well, not just for comfort but for your health as well as for your confidence. Welcome to Debra’s Bra Fitting Guide. In this guide, we’ll show you how to accurately measure your bra and find the perfect fit.
How To Fit A Bra Correctly?
Before we begin the measuring process, let’s first understand why it is essential to have a bra that fits properly. Poorly fitting bras can lead to back pain and shoulder discomfort as well as poor posture. It can also impact your appearance as a properly fitted bra can enhance and support your natural shape, making clothing fit and appear better.
Basic Bra Sizes
Bra sizes consist of two parts: band size (the numeral) and cup size (the alphabet). The band size is measured just below the bust at your ribcage. The cup size is determined by the discrepancy between the band and chest measurements.
You Can Measure Your Bra Size By Following This Simple Principle
Step 1: Measure the band size
- Look In The Mirror: Wear a bra that doesn’t have padding and fits you well, or don’t wear one at all.
- Use The Flexible Tape Measurement: Wrap snugly the tape around your ribcage under your bust.
- A Snug Fit Is Important: Tape should be level throughout and fitted snugly without digging in.
- Record Your Measurement: Record the measurement. Round up any odd numbers to the nearest even one, as most band sizes will be even.
Step 2: Measure the size of your bust
- Look In A Mirror: Make sure that you’re wearing the same bra without padding or bra.
- Wrap your tape measure around the fullest portion of your chest: Usually, this is across the nipples.
- The tape measure should not be too tight.
- Record your measurements.
Step 3: Calculate your cup size
- Subtract from the bust size the band measurement: This difference will determine your cup’s size.
- Example: Your bust measurement will be 36 inches if your band measurement is 32 inches. The difference is four inches.
- Choose your cup size: The difference between the two sizes will help you find your cup:
- 1 inch = A cup
- 2 inches = B-cup
- 3 inches = C-cup
- 4 inches = D Cup
- 5 inches = DD/E Cup
- You can go on.
In this example, a 4-inch change would indicate a D-cup. Your bra size will be 32D if you have a 32 band and a 36 bust.
Get the Perfect Fit
- Band: The band must be comfortable but snug. It should rest flat on your body without riding up your back.
- Cups: Your breasts should fit comfortably inside the cup without spilling over. The center gore of your bra (the part between the cups that is flat against your breast) should also be flat.
- Straps: The straps on your backpack should be able to provide you with support without digging into your shoulders. Adjust them to ensure they stay in position without slipping.
- Movement: Test your fit by moving. To ensure that the bra remains in position and offers sufficient support, elevate your arms, bend forward, and turn.
Common Bra Fitting Issues with Solutions
- Band slides up: Consider a smaller band.
- Cups are overflowing: Reduce the size of the cups.
- Cups with gaps: Reducing the cup size is a good idea.
- The straps dig in. Make certain the band has enough support.
Regular Measuring Systems are Important
Weight fluctuations, hormone changes and other factors can affect your body. Measure your bra size frequently, at least one time a year.
