Bra Sizing

Bra sizing can be one heck of an head ache if you are unsure of how to go about it in the right way. It is a well stated fact that 80% of women are wearing the wrong bra! That doesn't mean they picked up their sisters by mistake or got them mixed up with someone else's down at the local Laundromat either. It's all down to bad fitting and poor measurement. So the question is, how do you get the correct measurements and size for you?

When it comes down to measuring for your perfect fitting you need three measurements. Under the breast, above the breast and over the breast. These three bra size details will give you all the information you need about chest and cup sizes. Then you need to take them and calculate your best overall option.

If you are buying your underwear from the online shops most of them will have a size calculator. Simply by imputing those three measurements into that it will calculate your ideal size for you. It's always worth bearing in mind that when it comes to foundation wear different styles will be smaller and larger even though the same size.

The best way to be assured of a perfect fit is to order a few different styles in different sizes and try them all for comfort. This should be no problem because most of the reputable online suppliers will offer a returns service. If you are still experiencing problems with bra sizing visit your local lingerie store for a fitting. Again, most reputable underwear shops will have a resident fitting specialist. This way you will be assured of a correct bra sizing and a perfect fit whatever style you choose.
