Choosing A Bra That Fits Well
January 20, 2009 by rainier
For your bra to provide support it needs to fit properly.
10 Step Check
• Back is not riding up
• Shoulder straps are not digging in
• Fits close to breast bone in centre
• Breast is not bulging out of cups
• There are no bulges at armpits
• Fabric is not wrinkling or pulling
• Underwire is flat against body
• Finger can be slipped comfortably under band beneath cups
• Nipple line is midway between shoulder and elbow
• Feels comfortable and stays in place
Tip: Lean forward and let your breasts fall into your bra before fastening.
Body Size Guideline
• First – Measure (in inches) chest above breasts just under arms (body size).
• Second – Measure gently around high point of bust line and compare with body size.
The diff erence between the numbers gives you the cup size – see chart below.
*No diff erence = AA cup
*+ 1 inch = A cup
*+ 2 inches = B cup
*+ 3 inches = C cup
*+ 4 inches = D cup
