Are You Flaunting the Wrong Bra Size?

About 80% of women are walking around oblivious that they are wearing the wrong bra size… and we don’t want you to be one of them! 

Finding the perfect bra size will help you put your best bust forward.  No more sagging, bra bulges, or underwire jabs... 

The right size not only will be more comfortable, but will also make a big difference in how your clothes look!

Women’s bodies are always changing due to diet, exercise and - well, life in general, so we see how easy it is to make this mistake.   Chances are you probably aren’t the same size you were a couple years ago, so it’s time to measure up- here’s how.

Measure Your Band Size:
Measure under your arms across the high of your back and the top of your chest. If this measurement is an even number, this is your band size. If it’s an odd number, add an inch for your band size.



Measure Your Cup Size:
Measure around the fullest part of your bust.  Subtract your band measurement (as measured above) from your bust measurement.  Each inch represents a cup size. 

For example: if your band measurement is 34" and your bust measurement is 36", the difference between these measurements is two inches, and you’re a B-cup.  

A professional bra fitter is best if you are at either extreme end of the spectrum, but for most of us, these guidelines should be fairly accurate. Remember also, that there is unfortunately no standardization of bra sizes across manufacturers and so it’s always best to try on before you buy!
