What’s your size? : As explained by Le Mystère, founder and CEO Rabinowitz, you can measure your band and cup size, following the steps listed below:
For band size, use a measuring tape and measure around the upper bust, high on back. If the number is even, add 4 to get your band size, if the number is odd, add 5 to get your band size.
For the cup size, measure around the fullest part of your breasts. Now, subtract your band size measurement from this. The difference is your apt cup size is.
- less than 1 inch = AA cup
- 1 inch = A cup
- 2 inches = B cup
- 3 inches = C cup
- 4 inches = D cup
- 5 inches = E cup
- 6 inches = F cup
- 7 inches = G cup
Underwire is good: Underwire bras seem to be uncomfortable and you might slip into a soft, non-underwire cup. This creates problem, especially for full grown breasts. A good fit underwire bra should rest against your rib cage with a soft cotton casing. This will not only give support, but would be comfortable too.
Bra’s also die: With regular wash, the bra fabric loses its functionality causing the shabby fit. Although, hand wash helps the bra to last long, but bleach the bra until it looks dingy. Throw the white ones especially once they start looking grey.
Your friend’s best might not be good for you: There is nothing called perfect bra. The one that your friend flaunts may not be the right one for you. Everyone has a different body. Try several styles to get the most flattering one for yourself. Preferably try them under a t-shirt, as it shows the silhouette.
Focus on back too: The back band is the main support for bra. If the back band is loose, it tends to rise upwards, causing the breast to sag. This also shows up the unsightly back fat.
