Measuring for bra size

Women almost universally despise bras as being uncomfortable, but necessary evils. What most of them don't realize is that bras don't have to be uncomfortable if they fit correctly. The majority of women, as many as eight out of ten, are wearing the wrong bra size. Heres a guide on how to measure for the right bra size.

Step 1
Wrap the tailor's tape measure high around the back and under the arms. Hold it snugly, but not too tight. The inch number is your band size.

Step 2
Add one inch if your band size is an odd number. For example, if your band size is 35" add 1". Your band size is 36".

Step 3
Place the tailor's tape measure comfortably around the fullest part of your bust.

Step 4
Subtract your band size from your cup measurement. This new number determines the letter of your cup size. For example: 39" minus 36". Your cup size equals 3, a "C" cup.

Step 5
Use this handy reference: 1" difference is an "A" cup, 2" difference is a "B" cup, 3" difference is a "C" cup, 4" difference is a "D" cup, 5" difference is a "DD" cup, 6" difference is a "DDD" cup, and so on.
