Are You Wearing the Right Size?
Do you know that almost 80% of the women population on Earth are making mistakes when it comes in choosing the right bra. If a women does not have a proper guideline in wearing a perfectly fitting bra size it can ruin her outfit . These are the step-by-step tutorial on how to find the right bra size for you.
How do you know if you're wearing the ideal size. Well, there are some significant signs that shows that you are not. Some of the major Bra fitting problems can be pointed out by looking at the cups, underwires, centre panels, bra back, and shoulder cups.
- Wrinkles on bra cup /bra cups pucker - This issue occurs if your cup size is too large. It can be corrected if you reduce the cup size by one cup or you can tighten your bra straps for a firmer hold.
- Now, if your cup size is too small, then it may result in your upper busts popping/bulging out. Therefore, the bra cup size should be increased by one cup. Try a full-coverage cup.
- Irregular fitting of cups occur if one breast is larger than the other.
- Underwires popping out of the bra
- Underwires are poking underarms, side of the breasts
- Bra riding up in the back if the band size is excessive or if the busts are large and heavy.
- Shoulder strap falling off if bra is not fit.
These are some of the major issues faced when a wrong bra size is chosen. But, do bear in mind that some other reasons may also affect perfectly fitting bra sizes. A fluctuation in weight, change in body proportion, pregnancy, diet, may alter your perfect bra size improperly.
How To Measure Your Bra Size

Step 1: Determine Your Band Size
While braless or wearing a non-padded bra, measure around the bottom of the band, directly under your bust. The measuring tape should be level and very snug. Round to the nearest whole number. If the number is even, add four inches. If it’s odd, add five. Your band size is the sum of this calculation. (So if you measured 32 inches, your band size is 36. If you measured 33 inches, your band size is 38.)
Step 2: Take Your Bust Measurement
Wrap the measuring tape somewhat loosely around the fullest part of your chest (at nipple level). Round to the nearest whole number.
Step 3: Calculate Your Cup Size
Subtract your band size from your bust measurement and refer to chart. Example: 37 inches (bust) – 34 inches (band) = 3 inches. That’s a 34C.
So how can you tell if a particular style fits? Try these tips:
Bend forward at the waist, then slip on the bra and hook it. This ensures your breasts are completely in the cups.
Adjust the band. The back of the bra should be level with the front.
Make sure the bra is not too tight. Slide two fingers underneath the straps and under the band.
Fix falling straps. First, tighten the band, then shorten the straps.
Put on a close-fitting shirt over the bra. If the cups pucker or your breasts bulge, you're not wearing the correct size.
Look at yourself sideways in a mirror. Your breasts should sit midway between your shoulders and elbows. If not, you need a more supportive and better-fitting bra.
If you need to go down a cup size for fit, go up one band size, and vice versa. For example, if a 34C is too big for you, move to a 36B.
Choose a bra that fits perfectly when secured on the outermost hook. As the bra loosens over time, make the band taut by moving toward the tightest hook.
