Correct Bra Size!

#1
Lightbulb 

Ever since getting fitted I've become an advocate for a bra that fits. Some benefits include a comfortable bra size and breast tissue migration which can lead to bigger breast. I thought I would post this thread for anyone who is looking for their right fit or wondering why their bra's are not comfortable. You'll need 5 measurements.

Measurements:
1. Underbust (Snug): Measure your underbust with the tape "comfortably snug" (not too tight but not loose). Keep the tape parallel to the ground.

2. Underbust (Tight): Measure your underbust with the tape as tight as possible without breaking the tape (exhale for this measurement). Keep the tape parallel to the ground.

3. Bust (Standing): Measure your bust at its fullest point while standing. Keep the tape parallel to the ground.

4. Bust (Leaning): Measure your bust while leaning over at a 90 degree angle so that you are looking at the ground. Keep the tape perpendicular to the ground.

5. Bust (Lying): Measure your bust while lying on your back.
After you've got these measurements you can plug them in to this calculator http://www.brasizecalculator.tk for an estimate.

For uneven breast measure for the largest boob.
1. Measure your under bust the same as above and take the average of the two number. If its odd you can choose to size up or down a band size
2. Measure the diameter of the largest boob starting from the root of the boob
3. Use this chart http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130...ersion.png

Make sure to swoop and scoop your boobs into the cups of your http://www.venusianglow.com/2008/04/how-...hy-it.html
If you are in disbelief of your bra size you can check out http://www.brabandproject.com which shows pictures of women in the correct bra size.

Keep in mind the measuring method is only a starting point as to what bra you should were. The only why to know if you've got the right bra size is to try it on. Not all bra's are the same and you may find that two sizes fit depending on the brand of bra.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPwmcA_qmEQ there may be signs that you're wearing an incorrectly fitting bra. To make sure that the cups actually fit and you should swoop and scoop your breast into the cups
here's an example http://www.venusianglow.com/2008/04/how-...hy-it.html and you only need to watch the first minute to get the idea. If after this you don't bulge over than the cup is correct. If not you may need to go up a cup size. Just like i said measuring is only a starting point.

Thanks! yeah, I usually scoop automaticalyfor maximum cleavage Tongue The bra I'm wearing from m&s id 32DD and is ok in the cup but rides up a little at the back, whereas aanother one I have from there in 30E is too big in the cup and way too tight, so I guess it not only varies store to store but style to style :L

Ebay and amazon are a good place to start. You can also try http://www.reddit.com/r/RandomActsofBras and request the size or bratabase http://www.bratabase.com/listings/?size=28D&brand=&bra_type=&kind=&status=&ordering=normalized_price&keyword=&filter=Search+listings

That's why it's really important to try bra on cause at the end of the day it's what makes your boobs feel good that matters Smile.

I've just started sewing the band on my bra smaller. No way am I paying more than $15 for a bra! You can find tutorials (http://imgur.com/a/qANZO) on how to do it all neatly, but I just cut out some of the band and sew it back together so it's shorter. I've reattached the straps on some, but it's fine even if I don't.
