Introduction:
It is said that over 70% of women are wearing the wrong size Bra. It is not always easy to get a perfect fit but by using this easy measuring guide you may find it will help. However, you may find it easier to ask someone to help you. We recommend that you wear an unpadded bra when taking these measurements. |

Helpful Hints:
Just as important as finding your correct size is the wearing of your bra. When you are ready to wear your bra.
- Put your arms through the straps
- Ensure the straps fit properly and are on your shoulders.
- Lean forward and let your breasts fall into the cups naturally.
- Fasten the hook at the position that feels most comfortable.
- Adjust the straps so that the weight of your breasts are supported.
- Check the back of your bra is level with the front.
- Ensure the bra fits snugly under your breasts.

Problem Solving:
- Do the cups fit smoothly? If the cup is not filled out, you may need a smaller size. If there is overflow at the top or at the underarms, you may want to try a larger cup size or a fuller shape bra for more coverage.
- Does the center seam lie against the breast-bone, without gaps between cups? Do the breasts seem pushed out to the sides or towards the center? You may need to try a larger cup or different style.
- Is the bottom of the bra, front and back, straight or slightly lower in the back? The lower edge of the band should anchor below the shoulder blades. The lower the back fits, the more support you get.
- Can you run your finger under the band in front? It should be snug, but not tight. If it's tight, you need a larger band size or a looser hook placement.
- Does the back of the bra ride up? This may indicate the cups are too small or the cups are pulled too tight. Check the shoulder straps and adjust to a more comfortable length, ensuring straps do not cut into shoulders.
