Full Figure Bras Wearing the right bra size is just as important as choosing the right style bra when it comes to comfort and support. So how long has it been since you've checked your bra size? There are many factors in a woman's life that affect her bust measurements; for example, pregnancy and weight fluctuations. The average woman will wear six different bra sizes throughout her life. All things considered, it's probably worth your while to grab a tape measure and check your size. We've looked at dozens of measuring systems and found that none of them are quite the same. And, careful testing has shown that none of them have 100% accuracy rate either. As much as we wish it were, measuring for a bra is not an exact science. Remember if you own a bra that fits you perfectly, buy that size. Determine Your Bra Size.A bra size is made up of two measurement components: band size (i.e. 40, 42, 44) and cup size (i.e. D, DD, DDD). To find your correct bra size, begin by wearing your best fitting bra - unpadded, and not a minimizer bra (underwire doesn't matter). If possible, have someone other than yourself take the measurements. Not only is it faster, it also tends to be more accurate.
Wearing your bra, place a tape measure around your rib cage directly under the bust and measure. Add 4” to this measurement. 2) Cup Size Measurement- Wearing your bra, measure across the fullest part of your bust. 3) Calculation- Cup Size Measurement -(Band Size Measurement + 4”)=(match answer to chart below) Calculation Example:
Note: If the measurement is the same as your band size, your cup size is A.
Keep in mind there are many variations in measuring systems, this is the closest we've come to an accurate way to measure for a bra. Our system is great for determining band size. Cup size is always the difficult calculation. Don't be surprised if the calculation results in the wrong cup size. You know your breast size better than any measuring system. If your present bra fits well then stick with that size. Band Size: Make sure the band fits correctly. If the band is too tight and just plain uncomfortable, it's too small. Signs that your band size is too big include breasts falling out from the bottom of your bra, and the back riding up. A correctly sized band will fit firmly around your back, where most of the support is. The back and front of the band should be even and parallel to the floor. The Band Test: Try this little test with your bra hooked on the loosest setting: ask someone to put their hand between your back and the back of your bra, then to turn their hand 90 degrees. Their hand should now be very firmly wedged and they should not be able to pull the bra further away from your back. Cup Size: The cups should be large enough so that your breasts are encased and don't bulge out. If it is an underwire bra, make sure the underwires aren't poking breast tissue. The fabric panel between the cups should sit firmly against your chest (sternum), although with some makes and styles, this won't be exact. Fitting Comments
