Whether you want an extra boost in the breast area or want to get rid of those pesky bra bulges in your back or just want more support, here are some tips to find out the right size of your bra.
Whether you want an extra boost in the breast area or want to get rid of those pesky bra bulges in your back or just want more support, here are some tips to find out the right size of your bra.
1. Use a soft measuring tape and measure around the rib cage, right under the bust. The measuring tape should be at the same point on your back as your lower bra band. Make sure that the measuring tape is not slack or twisted. Next, add five inches to the measurement (to the nearest inch) around your rib cage. This is your band size. For example, a 31-inch measurement becomes a 36-inch band size. If you get an even number, you are more likely to fit the higher size band, but you may wish to try the lower size band also.
