If you're pulling, tugging, squeezing, and adjusting throughout the day, you have the wrong bra on. I know this because I wore the wrong size at several times in my life.
I've had 4 children, and the girls have gone up and down and around...who could keep up?
About a year ago, I decided I was tired of my boobs popping out of the top of my bra, my skin looking like fat rolls in the back (that's the one place I don't have extra fat!!!!), and being uncomfortable in my bras in general.
I've been measured before, plenty of times - including being measured incorrectly a few times at a certain "Secret" store (wink wink)...I don't know what their method of calculation is, but it sure doesn't work for me.
Back to last year...I started researching how to properly fit bras and I found simple calculations that work beautifully, and the girls and I have been happy and comfy ever since.
I am going to give you the calculations, but you can also read my full article here.
How to Measure for Bra Size
1. Using a flexible measuring tape, measure around your upper body under your breasts. Record or remember the number! This is your band size. If the number is odd, add 1".
2. Measure around your upper body at the largest part of your breasts.
3. Subtract your band size from your largest part measurement. If the difference is:
Less than 1 - AA Cup
1 - A Cup
2 - B Cup
3 - C Cup
4 - D Cup
I felt like the angels were singing the Hallelujah chorus when I finally got a good fitting, comfortable bra in the right size, and if you have been wearing the wrong size for years, you will know what I mean.
Go shopping and try on bras...do not just buy what is the right size. Size is most of the battle, but you have to try on bras since different cuts and features will be best for you. Here are some of my favorites: (sorry about the formatting....it's driving me crazy and I'm out of time...field trip today!)
