Choosing the Right Size - Bra Fitting Guide

To Find Your Size Research suggests that 70% of women are wearing the wrong bra. So we have gathered all our expertise together from the last ten years of measuring thousands of customers to suggest the following advise to you. 

You Need to Find Out the Bra Size and the Cup Size It is best to measure yourself when not wearing a bra, as this will give you the most accurate measurement. We have to work in metric as it is more accurate than inches.

Measure around your body underneath the breasts. The tape measure should be pulled snug against your body, as the band of your bra would be. 

Tip - the band of the bra should be firm but comfortable around your body. If you cannot run your finger under the band easily, it is too tight. However, if the band is too loose it will ride up your back. It is also worth remembering that the fit of your bra when you receive it will be tighter than when you have worn it 'in' in a couple of weeks time and the fabrics have become softer.

Finding your Cup Size 

Measuring the difference between the back size and the bust size is not necessarily an accurate rule. The best guide is the cup size of the bra you are wearing. When a bra is correctly fitted the whole of the bust should be contained in the cup. The wires should lie flat against your body and the cup should have a smooth outline. 

Like shoes, the fit of a bra varies depending on the style and manufacturer. Like feet, our busts differ in size and shape. So, the best way is to understand for yourself. You can judge whetheryou are wearing the correct cup size using the following guide. Here are the main problems:
