I think most women wear the wrong bra size - me included! I was fit for a bra last night and I am up a band size - total denial on my part all these months. Same is true for most ladies out there. We continue to purchase the same bra size over and over because that is what we have always worn. As we age, and gain or lose weight, we purchase clothes in different sizes. Hence, our bra size changes as well.
Below is some information on how to measure.
|
A bra size is made up of two measurement components: band size (i.e. 34, 36, 38) and cup size (i.e. A, B, C).
If you have had surgery on both breasts, you can choose the cup size that you want to be. Take into consideration your shape, and the projection you are trying to achieve.

1. Holding the measuring tape gently but firmly, measure around your bra directly under your bust after expelling all air from your lungs - you want this measurement to be as small as possible. Look in a mirror to assure the tape is parallel to the floor. The position of your tape measure is critical here. If you have the tape too high, your measurement will be too large; too low and it's too small.
1. Standing straight, with your arms at your side, measure around your body at the fullest part of your bust while keeping the tape measure parallel with the floor. Do not wear a bra that is padded or is a minimizer. And, make sure the apex of your breasts are half-way between your shoulder and your elbow. Note to women with D cup sizes or larger: If your best fitting bra is too tight around your bust, you can also take this measurement without a bra, but hold your breasts up with your hands to where you feel they should be. Have someone else then measure around your fullest part.
