Are you wearing the right
size?
Almost 8 in 10 women are wearing
the wrong size- you may be one of them. Why? Your body changes over time, and your
fit will change year to year as you lose or gain weight, exercise more or less,
and so on. If you are experiencing discomfort, spillage over your cups or back strap,
tight straps, or a gap between your cups, you are most likely wearing the wrong
size.
Measuring yourself for a
bra is an art, not a science
Our fit guide can provide you with
a good starting point. If you're not sure what size you wear, or fall between two
sizes, you may want to try several sizes and styles as a starting point.
Getting Started
It's best to measure when you are
wearing your most comfortable bra - one that has no padding and is not a minimizer.
STEP 1: BAND SIZE Measure under your arms, high on your back, across the top
of your chest. If this measurement is an even number, this is your band size. If
an odd number, add 1" to determine your band size.
STEP 2: CUP SIZE Measure loosely around the fullest part of your bust. Next,
subtract your band measurement 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'd
wear a B-cup.
