Every woman at some point has to go through a rather distressing time finding just one perfect bra, let alone a whole closet full of perfect-sized quality bras. <\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Every woman\u2019s definition of the right bra is one with the perfect comfy fit\u2014irrespective of the brand name or design. But getting this fit is no easy science in the women's clothing world!

If you have ever worn an ill-fitting bra or a wrong bra size, then you know that wearing one can destroy a hitherto flawless ensemble, a graceful look at an event\u2014or worse, a full otherwise productive day at the office or business.

Most of us own just too many bras that are in the ill-fitting category - according to <span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #0000ff;\"><span><a style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rigbyandpeller.com\/en-gb\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rigby &amp; Peller\u2019s<\/a><\/span><\/span> chief lingerie stylist, Kelly Dunmore, <\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cIt is not uncommon for people to swap between just two bras despite owning between 10 and 20 of them.\u201d This behavior stems subconsciously from the wearer feeling more comfortable in these two choices. <\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">While it is true that not all women wear bras, it\u2019s a thing of personal choice! However, there comes a day or event or dress that requires you to wear one. That said, if you only own one or wear one occasionally, you want it to be the perfect one. Hence, it is crucial to know how to measure your bra size correctly. At the very least, this will ensure that the bra you own fit and offer all the necessary support. <\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Bra-wearers understand how much support and relief a correctly fitting bra can bring. Even women's clothes designers are not left out in the chaos of finding the correct bust size or bra fitting for women's fashion. <\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In the words of Candice Huffine \u2013 \u201cDesigners have to keep the body in mind all the time. Think of a girl\u2019s undergarments: the bra is always key.\u201d So whether you wear a bra or not, you are somehow affected by the outcome of its sizing.<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The wrong or ill-fitting bra can wreak untold havoc on a great outfit; however, the right or correct fitting bra is as perfect as being almost unnoticeable. Some women, especially plus-size ladies, know they\u2019re wearing the wrong bra size but continue wearing it anyway - again, this stems from either not knowing how to find the right size and fit or not knowing where to purchase it. <\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Several research papers such as the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1080\/00140139.2016.1176258\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ergonomics<\/a> journal have shown that ladies with larger breasts tend to make errors when choosing bra size. Despite that, it is so easy to put on the wrong bra size and carry on with your day. <\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Sometimes we don\u2019t notice it until we feel uncomfortable or notice the weird sideways glances we get from strangers or friends.

Your fitting does wonders for your look and confidence. Don\u2019t underestimate the power of getting a bra that fits like a glove.<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Having said that, if you\u2019re still not ready to go for a professional bra fitting but desire to make sure you have the right bra size, get a fabric tape measure (emphasis on the kind of tape measure!).<br \/>To visually help you take these measurements, use this handy <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"http:\/\/abrathatfits.org\/calculator.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">calculator<\/a><\/span><\/span> to walk you through a bra fitting at home.<\/span><\/p><h6><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Another way to measure this yourself at home without a calculator is to follow these steps. <\/span><\/h6><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Step 1: Determine your band size.<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Standing in front of a mirror while braless, use the fabric measuring tape to go round the circumference of your rib cage, which is your under-bust \u2013 just like the tailors measure you. This is the measurement for your bra band. The tape should be straight or level, running parallel to the ground, very snug (just tight enough to allow you to fit two fingers under) hence the need for the mirror. <\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Next is the tricky part \u2013 now, if your result is in decimals, round up to the nearest whole number. Also, if your result is an even number, add four inches, but if it\u2019s an odd number, add five inches. This calculation gives your band size. (i.e., let\u2019s say you measured 36 inches, your band size is 40. If you measured 31 inches, your band size is 36.).<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Step 2: Measure Your Bust Size<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If you have full perky breasts, then there is no need to wear a bra for this next step, but if you don\u2019t, put on an unpadded bra (at least one that is near perfect or holds you up a little). Now wrap the fabric tape around the fullest part of your busts. Again use a mirror to make sure the tape is level or parallel to the ground. <\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This measurement should be slightly loose depending on your comfort. Just your bust and back length should be measured. Do not include your arms. Again, round to the nearest whole number. Are you writing all the measurements down?<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Step 3: Calculate your cup size.<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Now you have your bust and band size; the rest is easy. Simply put, subtract step 1 from step 2 to get your cup size. From your calculated band size in step 1, remove your bust measurement in step 2 to get your cup size.<\/span><\/p>","typography_typography":"custom","typography_font_family":"Nanum Myeongjo","typography_font_size":{"unit":"px","size":19,"sizes":[]},"typography_font_weight":"600"},"elements":[],"widgetType":"text-editor"}],"isInner":false}],"isInner":false},{"id":"b90e6ee","elType":"section","settings":{"_element_id":"conclusion"},"elements":[{"id":"5241aa1","elType":"column","settings":{"_column_size":100,"_inline_size":null},"elements":[{"id":"4c412b4","elType":"widget","settings":{"editor":"<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Finally, when you go bra shopping, especially online, your bra size is your band size with your cup size. The difference between the two becomes your cup size. For example: 37 inches (bust) \u2013 34 inches (band) = 3 inches. That's a 34C. The cup size will go up by a letter on an online bra chart or calculator for each inch.<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">There is this famous saying, \u201cbeautiful begins underneath,\u201d in conclusion, now you have this guide; it should be a breeze to rock your world and be just amazing knowing you have all the support you need to get through your day in that perfect fit bra. <\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Say bye-bye to all the inconveniences of an ill-fitting bra.
