How To Measure Your Bra Size and Fit Your Bra Correctly?

Did you know that 7 out of 10 women are wearing the wrong bra size?
With the lingerie preorder, I have many emails asking me how to measure their bra size, what bra size they should get.
Well, basically, your bra size and cup can be obtained with just 2 measurements – your underbust and your bustline. Now, let’s see what you need to do to get these 2 measurements.

Step 1: Get a measuring tape,

Step 2: Wear your favourite / best bra, one that is of the most comfortable fit (non-pushup or non-padded preferred).

Step 3: Measure your uderbust (the circumference of the area right under your breasts).

Step 4: Measure your bustline (the circumference of the fullest part of your breasts)

Step 5: In a bra size, for e.g.: 40C, that will mean your underbust (as in step 3) measures 40 inches.

Step 6: As for your bra cup, take your [bustline (step 4) minus your underbust (step 3)]. The difference will be the cup size (see below). The bra cup size is incremental with every inch difference.

1 inch difference = A cup
2 inches difference = B cup
3 inches difference = C cup
4 inches difference = D cup
5 inches difference = E cup
6 inches difference = F cup
