While most shops will have a salesperson to assist you in proper measurements, in order to buy sexy lingerie from a catalog, it is important to know your size.
How To Know If Your Current Bra Does Not Fit
The back rides up. This may mean that the cups are too small, or the band is too tight. The front of the band is too tight to get a finger under it. This means you need a larger band.
The bra cups should be entirely filled, or you may need a smaller cup. If, on the other hand, the cups are overflowing, you may need a larger cup or a different style of bra.
If the underwire digs in, you may need a larger cup size. (Or your bra could just be very old. In either case, it's time to replace it.) This could also be an indication that the side wings of the bra are not large enough.
Proper Measurements
First, you will need three measurements: under, upper, and full brest. For under sizing, measure directly under your brest. With all measurements, hold the tape secure but not too tight. For the upper, measure above the brest and below the arms.
If the difference between the under and upper is less than two inches, the under is your band size (round up to nearest even number). If the difference is more than two inches, add 2-3" to the under measurement to get an even number and use this as your band size. For the full size, measure around a fullest part of yours. Make sure the tape is secure around the back.
Your cup size is determined by your full size measurement – your upper measurement. If the difference is less than 1", you are a AA, 1" is an A, 2" is a B, 3" is a C, 4" is a D, 5" is a DD (or an E), etc.
Beyond Measurements
Of course, your measurements are just the beginning. There are other things to keep in mind when looking for a comfortable, yet fantasy bra.
When trying on different bras, make sure that the area in between the two cups actually comes into contact with your chest. Do not make the straps support your chest alone! This will be very uncomfortable over long periods of time, the bra will wear out quickly, and the pressure on the straps can cause back problems.
If you are finding the band sizes to differ for a different brand, you may also need to change your cup size. Generally, as you decrease the band size, you will need to increase your cup size, while a larger band will call for a smaller cup.
Bra Styles
Different styles of bras have different fits. Beware the convertible bras: while they may sometimes work, it is rare that every possible style will work for your body.
Full Cup / Full Coverage – Designed for support, these bras cover the entire ......
Half Cup / Demi Cup – These bras cover 75 percent of the chest. Your profile should still be smooth, and if it isn't, you need a larger cup size.
Underwire Bras – These bras give the most support.
Racerback Bras – These bras have a crossover pattern in the back. They can have a front or back clasp, or can simply pull over the head. This is a common style for a sports bra.
Halter-Top Bras – As the name imply, these bras have a strap that loops around the neck, rather than the usual shoulder straps. These bras can be worn with both halter tops and tops with low center coverage.
Backless Bras – While some backless bras literally have only front coverage, generally this refers to bras with extremely low backs, so that many dresses with low backs can be worn without the bra showing.
Strapless Bras – These bras have no straps at all, only the band. Some of these can cover the stomach area as well, and some even cover the body like a leotard. These longer strapless bras tend to stay in place better.
Padded Bras / Push-Up Bras – These bras have extra padding in the cups in order to give the illusion of a larger size. The padding can be made of the same material as the bra, foam, or gel. Gel is becoming more popular because of its more natural look. In some bras, the padding is removable.
Decollete – These bras are lower cut than a demi bra, allowing you to wear something even lower cut without revealing your bra.
