How to choose the right bra size

A well-fitting bra is the foundation of every woman's wardrobe, and despite that, roughly 80% of women don't know their correct size. The bra should not constrict anywhere, but at the same time it should hold in place. At the same time, it is not that difficult, the basis is to measure yourself correctly. As? Let's look at it together.

To measure correctly, you will need:

  • Tailor's tape measure
  • Mirror
  • Bra without reinforcement

Circumference under the breasts

  1. Stand straight and relaxed.
  2. Guide the tape measure horizontally directly along the breast line - we recommend checking in the mirror. Read the value while exhaling and you need to keep the meter on your body as tightly as possible. Round the centimeters down and if your measured size is on the edge between two sizes in the table, choose the smaller one.
The girth is supposed to carry 80% of the weight of the breast, so it needs to be accurate. Each material also loosens a little over time, so it is better to be able to move the fastening to other hooks afterwards.

Circumference across the chest

Measure your chest circumference in the same way. It is better to measure the measurements in a bra with a small reinforcement. If you have a push-up bra or one with really big padding, then it's better to measure without a bra.
  1. Guide the tape measure horizontally again, this time over the breasts in the most voluminous place.
This measure determines the size of the cups, which should be deep enough.

And how do you know if a bra fits correctly?

  • It doesn't lag anywhere, but it doesn't throttle either.
  • The cups beautifully follow the breast line.
  • The end of the bones should point towards the center of the armpit.
  • It doesn't even move when you raise your hands up.
  • The shoulder straps do not cut into the shoulders.
