How long has it been since you've checked your bra size?
According to an article in O Magazine as many as 85% of women are wearing the wrong size bra!
Many life situations affect a woman's bust measurement, particularly, pregnancy, weight fluctuations and modification surgeries. The average woman will wear many bra sizes throughout her life.
Considering this, if you are like me, I bet it has been a while since the last time you have checked you size.
The first place to start is with a bra you own that fits you perfectly. If it isn't too constrictive, and the band doesn't ride up in the back, then order that size.
When on, the cups should fully contain the breast tissue. There should be no spilling out at top (too small) and no excess fabric in the cup (too big). The center front should rest close to the chest bone. The size around your chest should feel comfortably snug. Not too tight where the back would bind, and not too loose where the back would ride up. The straps should be adjusted to support and align the breasts evenly. Everyone is smaller on one side and this strap is pulled a little tighter. The bra should stay in place as you bend and stretch.
Finding Your Personal Bra Size
A bra size is made up of two measurement components:
- band size (i.e. 34, 36, 38, etc.)
- cup size (i.e. A, B, C, etc.)
