HOW TO MEASURE THE CHEST SIZE FOR PURCHASING BRA

To measure your chest size for purchasing a bra, you will need a flexible measuring tape and follow these steps:

1. Wear a non-padded bra or no bra at all for accurate measurements.

2. Stand in front of a mirror and ensure the measuring tape is parallel to the ground.

3. Measure your under bust size:

   • Position the measuring tape just under your breasts, where the bra band would sit.
   • Make sure the tape is snug but not too tight, allowing you to breathe comfortably.
   • Take note of the measurement in inches or centimeters.

4. Measure your bust size:

   • Place the measuring tape around the fullest part of your breasts, usually across the nipples.
   • Again, make sure the tape is snug but not overly tight.
   • Record the measurement in inches or centimeters.

5. Determine your band size:

   • Subtract the under bust measurement from the bust measurement.
   • Use the difference to find your band size based on the bra sizing chart.
   • For example, if the difference is 2 inches, your band size would be 32 (if using US sizing).

6. Determine your cup size:

   • Calculate the difference between your bust measurement and the band size measurement.
   • Each inch of difference corresponds to a cup size.
   • Use a bra sizing chart to determine your cup size. For example, a 1-inch difference may indicate an A cup, a 2-inch difference a B cup, and so on.

It's important to note that bra sizing can vary between brands and countries, so it's recommended to consult the specific brand's size guide for the most accurate fit. Additionally, consider trying on different bra styles and sizes to find the most comfortable and supportive fit for your unique shape.
