How to correctly determine the size of the bra, the breast.
The key word here is "right." Since the wrong way to measure a lot, especially the most popular method for determining bra size "by eye". Consultant determining your bra size "by eye" at least not professional. Without measuring and fitting is necessary. It is not scary. After all, try it bust or not as boring, but rather amusing, especially when there is something to try. Believe it or not, but 80% of women wear the wrong bra size.
The most common mistake is the size of the waist (girth at breast) who choose more than you need, or bra cup size that is too small. For example, a woman wears a bra 80D, while its true size 75E or 75F.
The value of the belt bra size measured by the number, standing before the letter, where letter is the cup size.
That is, for the European dimension of the scale of bras: 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, etc. - This value is below the chest girth (where the difference is a difference of 5 cm in one volume) A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, K, etc. - A cup size Capacity bra cup size increases in proportion to the waist.
That is, the capacity of the cup in a 80D bra is more than a bra 75D, despite the fact that you are using the same letter D to denote the size of the cup. That is, 80D bra larger accommodate the size of the breast than the 75D. However, the capacity of the cup bras in a 80D, and 75E is the same. So if you, for example, examples of Bra 80D, feel a little slack in the belt, but the cup of a bra holds your breasts, it is necessary to reduce the size to 75 at the same time to take the next cup size, that is 75E. You may not consider yourself the owner of a large breast size, but reducing the volume and increasing the cup size you will find that pretty gifted immodest "sizes". Your bra size changes throughout life.
Here is the value of a decrease / increase in total body weight, changes in the elastic chest, child birth, etc. But at what stage you are, you can always make your chest an enviable shape, selecting the correct bra size and suitable type.
The following explains how to determine your bra size is. To do this, you will need a tape measure and a partner who will help you take down your measurements (highly recommended, as an independent taking measurements often give incorrect values).
Step 1. Measure the circumference of a chest. Lift the chest with both hands and ask your partner to a centimeter just below your chest, with a centimeter should be parallel to the floor, with no distortions. Girth should be measured under the breast is very tight, it is necessary to achieve values as small as possible. Why not? Because it is a belt of bra is the principal support of the breast, not the straps (as many think), and if you wear a bra with waist circumference greater than required, then you lose much support. So, write down the resulting measurement. If your resulting value, it came in between 60-65-70-75-80, etc. you need to round up to nearest standard value. That is, if you've got 72sm, then round it is 70 if 73, it may be rounded up to a 70, and 75. If you choose a value of 75 and after trying on a bra, for example, 75D you feel the slack in the belt, get a bra size 70E. Note that with decreasing size of the zone, it is necessary to increase the cup size as 75D = 70E (this was written at the beginning of the article). If you choose to 70E, and initially appeared that the bra puts pressure in the zone, then try a 75D (provided that cup bra 70E can hold your breasts). We denote the girth at breast conventionally as "X".
Step 2. Measure the girth of the chest. Wear a bra that you are relatively comfortable and which is relatively well keeps your chest. Ask your partner to a sentimeter circle around your chest, in most circles and tight, with a centimeter should be parallel to the floor, with no distortions. Let's say you have, the value of 92cm. Subtract from the measured value of 10 cm and mark it as a «Y».
That is, 102.5-10 = Y = 92.5sm
Step 3. Calculations. To determine the bra size is necessary to subtract the «X» of «Y» and received divided by 2.5, that is, (YX) / 2.5 In our case, (92.5-75) / 2.5 = 7. Now we find the seventh letter of the alphabet. A, B, C, D, E, F, G That is fitting bra should start with a 75G (on the European scale, it is, and is used in post-Soviet countries). The above method of calculating the size of the bra provides a starting point. In no event shall rely on 100%, since this formula does not take into account the model of a bra, the shape of your breasts, it is complete and much more. Even if this formula has helped you to correctly determine bra size for a particular model of a particular manufacturer, you will be disappointed when they realize that this formula is useless in determining the size of a bra the other model, even within the same brand. So, you have determined tentative bra size according to the formula (starting point) and identified the most suitable size.
