Are You Wearing The Right Bra Size?

If you are about to buy your first bra, it’s best to go to a department store that has a special department that sells bras and underwear. This department is usually called the “lingerie department.” Ask to be fitted by a “lingerie specialist” (a professional who has special training in fitting bras). There is no charge for this service and having it done by a professional will make sure that your bra fits correctly. You will still need to try on different styles in the size that’s right for you because not all bras fit the same way. By doing this, you will find the bra that feels the best and also looks the best under your clothes.

When you have the measurement number, add 5 inches.

Your Bustline Measurement will be higher than your chest (”under the breast”) measurement. Your Cup Size is the difference between your Chest Size and your Bustline Measurement. size.
