Choosing the Right Bra

Often when shopping for bras, you do not ask many questions. Yet many women who do not choose the type or size of bra that suits them best. Here are some tips to help you make the right choices below! Good size It seems that a majority of women do not know their bra size. Indeed, we tend to believe that a cap and a smaller chest circumference greater than in reality. Thus, many choose, for example bras size 34B when they should actually bear 32C! It should therefore check your size before your next purchase.

The calculation

To calculate the size of your bra, you will need a flexible tape measure.

- Start by measuring your chest above your breasts, where they are most prominent. Record the result in inches.

- Then measure your chest, just below your breasts (so they are not included in the measure). Record the result in inches. This corresponds to your chest, so the number (34, 36, 38, 40, etc...) Found in the size of the bra.

- To determine the cup size (A, B, C, etc...) Take the first step, that is to say, the larger of the two numbers and subtract the second measurement there. If the difference is 1, you wear the A, if it was 2 wearing the B, etc...

- A woman whose chest to where it is the most generous would be 42 inches, and whose chest under the breasts would be 38 cm so would the 38D.

- It may be that you reach an odd number by measuring your chest. If so, round up to the bra size below and choose the blade is out. For this kind of situation that bras are often three levels of adjustment pin.

- Note that your chest and the contour of your breasts will change over time. It is important to resume regular measures. This is not because you wore the 32B 10 years ago that is still the case, even if you do not have significantly thinner or fatter.

- Finally, if this method is a good indicator, it is not foolproof either! Since each model is different, try the garment before buying. During the fitting, care is taken to adjust the suspenders to be able to slip a finger underneath, without more, and we ensure that our breasts are completely in the cap.

Small details

- When shopping spree, do not wear a sweater baggy. It is recommended to opt for a fairly high neckline and molding, which will see if the bra will look good even in situations of "extreme".

- The bands of the chest should not form an angle, or into the skin. They must be straight and tight, but not too tight. The home must remain in place at center back.

- The fittings shall provide optimal support without pain. The straps, in turn, should not irritate the skin of the shoulders, or even sinking slightly.

- When moving, it skips or that leans forward, our breasts should not move, but remain quietly in the cups and straps should not slip.

- On the side of the garment, it is verified that the fabric is flexible, durable and comfortable, the clips are securely stitched and the seams are subtle enough not to irritate the skin, but very solid.

The lifespan of the bra

Note that you should renew your stock bras at least once a year. Indeed, even when choosing high quality and they are washed by hand with mild soap, the life of bras is not infinite. Once you find that it becomes less comfortable, or that the bands and straps relax, it's a sign that he should plan a little shopping spree!
